Far from the hustle and bustle of summer hotspots, Castel Clara Thalasso & Spa offers a haven of tranquility on the enchanting island of Belle-Île-en-Mer, just off the southern coast of Brittany. Nestled in the village of Bangor, on the island’s wild and romantic southwestern shores, this exclusive resort invites you to disconnect from everyday life and reconnect with nature in its purest form.
Wake each morning to the soothing sound of waves and the bracing scent of sea spray drifting in from the Atlantic. Overlooking the breathtaking Port Goulphar, Castel Clara is a place where time slows down. Take a deep breath, let the iodine-rich air energize you, and indulge in the calm that only the sea can bring.
At the heart of the resort lies its renowned Thalasso and Spa center, where expert therapists offer a curated selection of marine-based treatments, revitalizing massages, and wellness programs tailored to your needs. Whether you seek therapeutic care or a simple moment of relaxation, the spa provides a deeply restorative experience.
After a day of renewal, savor the culinary delights at Café Clara, where seafood takes center stage. The restaurant’s refined menu celebrates local produce and freshly caught fish and shellfish, all served with panoramic views of the coastline—each meal a feast for the senses.
A long-standing institution on the island, Castel Clara is also a favorite for families. Children can enjoy a variety of supervised activities such as creative workshops, horseback riding, and water sports initiation, while parents unwind in peace. The resort offers family rooms, toddler amenities, babysitting services, as well as access to golf, tennis courts, and heated swimming pools—all designed for unforgettable shared moments.
Belle-Île-en-Mer itself is an exceptional destination. A rare gem among French islands, it has preserved its untamed beauty: windswept cliffs, secret coves, verdant moors, and shaded woodland paths. Here, nature is wild, raw, and endlessly inspiring. The rhythm of life on the island encourages slow living, where each day offers a chance to reconnect—with oneself, with loved ones, and with the world around.
Yet Belle-Île also surprises with its vibrant cultural life: art galleries, music festivals, and artisan workshops dot the island, offering enriching experiences for curious minds. Whether you’re drawn by outdoor adventure, peaceful retreat, or cultural discovery, the island promises something truly special.
Getting there is easy: the nearest airport is in Lorient, and the ferry from Quiberon reaches the island in just 50 minutes. Castel Clara offers a complimentary transfer from the harbor directly to the hotel, ensuring a seamless and serene arrival.
