About this property

Just 50 meters from Sables Blancs Beach, the Hotel Valdys – l’Escale marine*** welcomes you with a contemporary and relaxed atmosphere, perfect for enjoying Douarnenez and the Breton coastline. Completely renovated in the spring of 2024, it offers a comfortable setting for a getaway as a couple, with family, or with friends.

The functional and pleasant double rooms are suitable for both couples and solo travelers. Spacious and inviting, the family suites feature a separate sleeping area and can accommodate up to four people.

An underground passage provides easy access to the thalassotherapy center and the Marine Spa at Valdys Resort. Available at a special rate of €22 per person per day, the facility includes a seawater pool heated to 31°C, two hot tubs, a steam room, a sauna, a fitness center, and a relaxation area overlooking the sea.

To round out this relaxing getaway, a wide selection of massages and wellness rituals inspired by traditions from around the world is available by reservation. You can also experience Valdys’ expertise through thalassotherapy treatments, marine hydrotherapy treatments, and facial and body treatments. Water and land sports activities are also available for an additional fee.

To access the Spa Marin, be sure to bring an appropriate swimsuit—swim shorts are not permitted—as well as a swim cap.

Located within the resort, the Aromatik restaurant welcomes you with a view of Douarnenez Bay. Its creative and refined French cuisine highlights fresh ingredients, seasonal flavors, and seafood. Dishes tailored to specific dietary needs can be prepared upon request.

Every morning, a varied breakfast buffet is served in the restaurant. On sunny days, you can enjoy it on the terrace overlooking Sables Blancs Beach.

Right next to the hotel, the GR34 coastal trail invites you to explore the beaches and wild landscapes of Douarnenez Bay on foot. The harbor, Tristan Island, and downtown Douarnenez are also easily accessible.

Finally, the hotel serves as an excellent starting point for exploring Finistère’s must-see sites: the charming town of Locronan, the historic center of Quimper, the spectacular Pointe du Raz, and the island of Sein—for a true getaway by the sea, right on the Atlantic Ocean.

With its combination of beaches, Breton attractions, thalassotherapy, and moments of relaxation, the Hôtel Valdys – l’Escale marine*** is the perfect place to enjoy Douarnenez with ease.

- The hotel staff were very friendly and hospitable. My one issue is with your therapy booking process. We travelled from New Zealand and I tried to book massages with your therapy staff. The chat bot did not work and the email I received kept telling me to book via the website. When I tried to book via the website, I was not able to choose the day of my massage. In the end I sent a message to the reception staff at the hotel and they said that they had passed my request to the therapy team. I sent a reminder email a month later as I had not heard anything and I was assured the booking request had been sent to the therapy team. When we turned up, however, my booking had not gone through so the three of us were unable to have the massage I believed I had booked from New Zealand. The staff were very pleasant about it, however it was a frustrating experience for us as the whole reason we had booked the hotel was to experience the thalassothérapie. When we left the hotel I received a phone call asking me to pay for breakfast however when I went back to show them the receipt they saw that I had in fact already paid. So overall no complaints with the staff but I would definitely recommend looking at your processes. The hotel staff were very friendly and hospitable.
