L'Agapa Hôtel - Spa Codage

Travelers in search of a unique French coastal experience — one that’s practically the polar opposite of the mob scene on the French Riviera — take refuge at Perros-Guirec in Côtes-d’Armor. Home to the otherworldly pink beaches and rock formations of Brittany’s Granite Rose Coast, Perros-Guirrec is the setting for L’Agapa, a surprisingly successful fusion of 1930s spirit and funky modern seaside atmosphere.

Each room is equipped with its own “totem” — a fully functional objet d’art that functions as a stylish integration of flatscreen TV, mini-bar, lights, and safe. While that sounds a bit new-agey, it’s a good example of how this self-proclaimed zen hotel’s earnest commitment to wellness and relaxation translates into specific modern comforts. Any lingering doubts about the groundedness of the experience should be dispelled by the sleek modern design that favors bold right angles, lending a solid, contemporary feel to this Jazz Age seaside retreat.

Plenty of hotels flaunt their harmonious relationship with their surroundings, but L’Agapa walks the walk with its spa facilities. Dug into the granite beneath the hotel, the spa overlooks a gorgeous section of the English Channel that’s home to the Archipelago of the Seven Islands, the oldest nature preserve in France. Here, guests preen and pamper alongside Atlantic puffins and guillemots. And the integration of the local atmosphere extends to L’Agapa’s Beluga restaurant, where chef Michael Tanguy has created a menu of coastal delights and regional fare inspired by his childhood in the neighboring town of Paimpol.

How to get there:
L’Agapa is located approximately twenty minutes’ drive from Lannion – Côte de Granit Airport (LAI).
