A romantic stay in Saint-Malo really cuts it off: three days between Sillon beach, ramparts of the corsair city, good gourmet addresses and wellness breaks at Grand Hotel de Courtoisville, 4-star spa hotel a few steps from the sea.
Why choose a romantic stay in Saint-Malo?
Saint-Malo is an ideal city for a short romantic break. The corsair city remains on a human scale, can be easily discovered on foot and offers a very different atmosphere depending on the tides, the seasons and the light. Between Sillon Beach, the cobbled streets within the city walls and the ramparts overlooking the sea, every moment becomes a perfect setting for a getaway for two.
A romantic stay in Saint-Malo over three days allows time to settle in, to discover the old town, to stroll on the beach, but also to enjoya real spa. Access by train or car from the major cities of the West and from Paris allows you to arrive at the end of the morning or early afternoon and to fully enjoy each day without spending hours in transport.
Stay at the Grand Hotel in Courtoisville, an ideal address for couples
For a successful romantic stay in Saint-Malo, the choice of hotel is essential. The Grand Hotel de Courtoisville is located in the residential district of Courtoisville, near Sillon Beach. The atmosphere is calm and elegant, with a wooded garden and a chic family home atmosphere, while remaining close to the center and the city within the city walls.
The rooms and suites use the tones of the Breton coastline: shades of sand, blue, green and terracotta. Couples will particularly appreciate the spacious categories, suites or hotel apartments, which offer greater comfort and the possibility of extending moments of relaxation in an intimate setting.
The Courtoisville Spa is at the heart of the experience: heated indoor pool, steam room, steam room, sauna, sauna, Nordic bath, duo massages, herbal tea room and private garden make up a real wellness break. The Spa Suite, with its private steam room and Nordic bath, allows you to extend a one-on-one treatment in a space entirely dedicated to your moment together.
In terms of flavors, The restaurant Le 1906 highlights seasonal products and local fishing. The Baccara bar and lounge complete the experience with cocktails, teas and homemade pastries, including a tea-time at the weekend. A romantic stay in Saint-Malo can thus be enjoyed almost entirely on site, to the rhythm of the sea and the spa.
Day 1: arrival, installation and first stroll by the sea
At the end of the morning or early afternoon, you arrive in Saint-Malo and join the Grand Hotel de Courtoisville. After check-in, take the time to discover your room, unpack your bags and give yourself a first moment of calm by observing the garden or the Malouin roofs.
In the afternoon, walk down to Sillon Beach. This large sandy beach is perfect for a first romantic stroll. Walk to the rhythm of the waves, in the direction of the city within the city or to the residential neighborhoods, depending on the schedule and the tide. It is an opportunity to smell the salty air, to take some photos and to gently put yourself in the mood for this romantic stay in Saint-Malo.
At the end of the day, return to the hotel for a first visit to the Spa: a few laps in the heated indoor pool, a moment in the steam room or sauna, then rest in the tea room or in the garden if the weather permits. In the evening, a dinner for two at the restaurant Le 1906 extends the break, followed by a nightcap at the Le Baccara bar.
Day 2: ramparts, corsair city and gourmet moments
After a quiet breakfast, set off to discover the city within the city walls. Reach the historic center, then access the ramparts to go around all or only part of it. The viewpoints follow one another: view of the sea, of Sillon Beach, of the neighboring islets and of the port. The walk is punctuated by changes in light and tide, perfect for two to enjoy.
Then go back down the cobbled streets of the old town. Between shops, galleries and lounge, the atmosphere is conducive to strolling. It's time to try some Breton specialties: pancakes, galettes, pastries, kouign-amann, salted butter caramels or seafood platters according to your desires. The teams of Grand Hotel de Courtoisville will be able to recommend local and authentic addresses adapted to your style of stay.
At the end of the afternoon, return to the hotel for a new wellness break. You can book a ritual or a massage for two, enjoy the warmth of the Nordic bath or simply relax by the pool. In the evening, enjoy a cocktail at the bar before choosing between a new dinner at the hotel restaurant or a restaurant in town for a change of atmosphere.
Day 3: well-being, nature and a gentle start
For your last morning of a romantic stay in Saint-Malo, allow yourself to wake up without constraints. After breakfast, you have two options: a new stroll on Sillon Beach, ideally at low tide to take full advantage of the sand, or a more dynamic session in the hotel's fitness room.
If the weather is good, you can extend the morning with a bike ride around the neighborhood and along the waterfront. If the weather is more fickle, focus on the Spa: indoor pool, steam room, sauna and herbal tea room allow you to enjoy your stay until the last minute.
At the beginning or middle of the afternoon, it is time to go back to your room to prepare for departure. You can leave your luggage at reception to enjoy a few extra moments in town or on the beach before reaching the station or the road. This romantic stay in Saint-Malo ends gently, with the desire to come back for a new break for two.
