Le Grand Bleu

About this property

Just a stone’s throw from one of Brittany’s most beautiful beaches, sitting amongst the sand dunes with glorious sea-views, the setting of Le Grand Bleu is exceptional.

This contemporary high-end villa is sure to wow you in every way. With sleek design and modern interiors full of light from the floor to ceiling windows, inviting the outside in, there is ample space for guests to kick back in relaxing surroundings. Laze on the leather sofas, recline on the Le Corbusier chair or rest by the bar before heading upstairs for a game of pool. There are four lovely bedrooms, each one with their own shower or bathroom, including a unique bedroom at the top of the house with elevated views of the sea around you.

One of the most incredible features is the impressive indoor heated swimming pool, with sliding doors leading straight out to the decked terrace with sun-loungers and umbrellas. Whether a blustery day or a lazy summers afternoon, you can dip into your inviting swimming pool for the ultimate luxurious experience.

The sandy gardens, surrounded by dune plants and trellises, also feature a hot tub as well as table tennis, a swing, slide and bikes, making sure all guests, young and old, are well looked after. Indeed, the owners have added many homely touches including bathrobes as well as modern features such as Cable TV, a DVD player and a Nespresso machine. As well as providing a breakfast box filled with croissants and bread for your first morning, they can also arrange for freshly caught seafood to be delivered. Keen fishers take note that there’s a couple of Guy Cotton jackets, boots, rake and a net provided!

You can wander down the beautiful beach, known for its turquoise coloured waters and find a range of watersports for all ages from paddle boarding to windsurfing. There’s also a lovely park within walking distance with tennis courts, mini-golf and a little playground.

In this region you can also ride horses along the beach, play a round of golf with marvellous sea-views, cycle along some stunning paths or discover many wonderful hikes on amazing trails including the GR34 coastal path nearby.

For days out, visit the charming town of Roscoff, known for its seafood soup and onions, partake in some sea-fishing or take a boat trip to the nearby island of Batz. On a Saturday, experience the vibrant market day in the historical town of Morlaix before exploring its narrow streets and delightful harbour.

Throughout this part of Brittany, there are so many captivating places to discover.

With magnificent views over the dunes to the beautiful beach, you are in an envious location at Le Grand Bleu. The beach, with high and low tides, is just 50m away and within a 5 to 10-minute walk you reach a watersports centre specialising in board sports such as windsurfing and stand-up paddles as well as catamarans, fun boards and little dingy boat trips with a skipper for younger kids. There is a range of activities for lots of age groups and they offer lessons for beginners and those with more experience.

The local beach is one of the most beautiful in the area, known for its turquoise waters and during the summer they have a life guard in the afternoon. There are many other stunning sandy beaches across this region to discover as well as watersport centres in Dossen, Moguériec and Roscoff (a fantastic place for diving or sea fishing).
