Hotel Barriere Le Grand Hotel is the most distinguished address in Dinard, a refined seaside resort on the north Brittany coast that retains a particular elegance. Recently fully renovated, the hotel’s 89 bedrooms sit five minutes’ stroll from the Plage de l’Ecluse beach and the chic marina, with the famous casino and a wealth of local restaurants and bars also within easy walking distance.
An indoor pool, spa and gym provide strong on-site leisure, while the hotel also facilitates access to a range of activities including cycling, tennis, horse-riding and water sports at free or reduced rates — making it particularly well-suited to mixed groups or those who want more than golf from their break.
Dinard Golf Club is twenty minutes away, and Les Ormes and Saint Malo Le Tronchet are both within thirty minutes for a broader Northern Brittany golf package. Val André is worth the additional drive for anyone keen to explore this underrated corner of France’s golf map. Taking the ferry across to Saint Malo to walk the ramparts makes for an excellent half-day excursion between rounds.
