Domaine de Locguénolé & Spa

Kervignac, France
Overview

Domaine de Locguénolé stands as one of Brittany's most iconic destinations, where maritime heritage meets contemporary luxury on 25 hectares of wooded parkland overlooking the Blavet estuary. As a founding Relais & Châteaux member since 1970, this historic estate features 47 rooms and suites across four distinctive buildings: a 19th-century château, an 18th-century Breton manor, the Orangerie, and the Club.

A New Chapter in Historic Hospitality
Following a comprehensive three-year renovation completed in 2023, the property has been transformed into a sophisticated retreat inspired by the Indian Route, honoring Lorient's connection with the Compagnie des Indes. Each building showcases distinct design: the château features colonial-era antiques, the manor offers contemporary elegance, the Orangerie provides pool access with naval décor, and the Club occupies former stables with equestrian themes and direct spa access.

Route des Indes Inspiration
Each room tells the story of a worldly traveler returning from the Indies, filled with authentic canopy beds, rich oriental fabrics, and exotic treasures. This unique design philosophy creates an atmosphere of discovery and adventure throughout the property.
