Domaine de Locguénolé & Spa – This luxury hotel in Brittany has been reimagined with talent, boldness, and respect. Surrounded by 25 hectares of forests and gardens, the estate peacefully overlooks a river arm with shimmering reflections. It today embodies a way of life between sea, forest, and regained splendor, within the prestigious Relais & Châteaux label.

The Domaine de Locguénolé & Spa, after three years of an enormous construction project, reopens its doors. Located a short distance from Lorient, this exceptional place, rooted in an ancient forest and cradled by the calm waters of the Blavet, now combines aristocratic heritage and contemporary high-level hospitality. Between heritage architecture and colonial-inspired design, this Relais & Châteaux address embodies a new vision of Breton luxury and a romantic stay in Brittany.

Each room is created as a sensory journey. The hall displays old rigging suspended; the lounges reveal a universe of curiosities: ancient portraits, sawfish, colonial objects, and tapestries evoking the Indies. The bar L’Apparat, a jewel in patinated brass, serves these cozy spaces that seem to await the return of an imaginary explorer.

Three buildings, three charming atmospheres

The Château offers thirteen unique rooms, featuring spectacular canopies and emerald green bathrooms. The Manor, from the 17th century, offers twenty rooms and suites, in a harmonious dialogue between raw wood, Breton granite, and contemporary glass. The Club, located in the former stables, expresses a strong equestrian spirit and provides direct access to the Spa, a true sanctuary of well-being in Morbihan.

Unusual accommodations for a high-end getaway

The estate offers three rare accommodations: the Suite Coucou, an old chicken coop converted into a family suite with rustic charm; the Villa Belém, an old caretaker’s house transformed into a luxury gîte for eight guests; and Le Caprice, a 1930s trawler turned into a floating suite in dry dock, complete with a rooftop. Truly exclusive experiences in a charming seaside estate.

At La Maison Alyette, a refined and accessible bistro, French classics are presented in all simplicity: perfect egg, beef bourguignon, or profiteroles. At L’Inattendu, under a colonial-inspired glass roof, chef Yann Maget composes a subtle contrast between land and sea, enhanced by Japanese Arita plates and products from Morbihan. An exceptional table for lovers of gastronomy in Southern Brittany.

A sweet signature led by Annabelle Lévêque

Pastry chef of the Domaine de Locguénolé, Annabelle Lévêque leads a brigade of six. Trained at the National School of Pastry, she creates desserts that are both fresh, elegant, and rooted in the Breton terroir.

An excellence recognized by the “Passion Dessert” award from the Michelin Guide.
