Yes, Le Grand Large is a 5-star hotel and spa that has been a member of The Boutique Hotels Collection since 2022. We offer 31 rooms and suites, a gourmet restaurant, a rooftop terrace with a view of the sunset, and a relaxation area with a heated indoor pool—all overlooking the ocean.
Three of our Deluxe Jacuzzi Rooms offer direct access to the garden and then to the beach. Nestled in the dunes, the hotel borders Rémigeasse Beach, which can be admired especially from our rooftop. From the other rooms, the beach is a 2-minute walk away.
Le Grand Large was built in 1965 by Mr. and Mrs. Moreau, who envisioned a luxury hotel with architecture inspired by Le Corbusier. It remained in the Moreau family for more than thirty years, was renovated in 2011, and was then run by the Bougnard family for over ten years before joining Le Boutique Hotels Collection in 2022. We then enhanced it with a gourmet restaurant, a rooftop terrace, expanded outdoor seating areas, and a spa.
Our hotel is open every year from April 1 to November 1. Spring and the late season are particularly well-suited for wellness getaways, while summer days are filled with trips to the beach, Sunday brunch, and aperitifs on the rooftop.
