3 Nights, 3 Rounds
Hotel Barrière L'Hermitage La Baule sits right on the seafront, backed by a fragrant pine forest and looking out over one of France's most famous stretches of sand. If you like your golf trips with a holiday feel, this is a cracking base, beach walks in the morning, a round in the afternoon and a lively resort on your doorstep for dinner.
The big draw for golfers is Golf International Barrière La Baule, a 45-hole set-up around 15 minutes from the hotel. That short transfer makes it easy to build a flexible itinerary, whether you're squeezing in 36 holes or keeping it relaxed so the non-golfers can make the most of the beach, shops and promenade.
Travel is refreshingly straightforward too. Nantes Airport is around 30 minutes by road and there are seasonal direct flights from selected UK airports, particularly in spring and summer. Once you're in La Baule, everything feels close, the beachfront, the pine-lined streets and plenty of spots for a post-round drink are all easy to reach.
Who is this for?
Golfers travelling with partners or friends who want a beach resort feel, easy tee time access and evenings you don't need taxis for.
Who is it best for?
Couples and small groups booking 3 to 7 nights who want a 5-star base and a simple routine, breakfast, golf 15 minutes away, then straight back to the promenade for dinner and drinks.

The Hermitage is often considered one of La Baule's top addresses, with that classic grand-hotel feel you want for a special seaside break. Part of the well-regarded Barrière group, the hotel has 92 bedrooms and 15 suites, including the Presidential Suite, with a smart, elegant style that suits couples, friends' trips and mixed groups.
For golfers, the location works brilliantly. You're close to the heart of the resort for evenings out, while still being a short, simple drive to the golf complex for your tee times. It's the kind of place where you can play a quality round, get cleaned up quickly and be sitting down to dinner without any faff.
The hotel offers several dining options, including a restaurant serving fresh, locally sourced cuisine and a terrace bar that's ideal for post-round drinks with sea views. There's a spa on-site with a pool, treatment rooms and a gym, so you can loosen up after a long day on the fairways or give the non-golfers something to do while you're out playing.
The beach is right on the doorstep, with the hotel offering beach service during the season, sunbeds, towels and easy access to the sand. For golfers, the practical details matter too. Early breakfast is available for morning tee times, the hotel can arrange packed lunches if you're playing all day and there's secure storage for clubs. Transfers to the golf complex are straightforward, either by taxi or arranged through the hotel.
Room categories include sea-view and resort-view options, with twin configurations available for groups. If you're booking for a society or larger group, speak to our team to match the right room types and make sure everyone's sorted for tee times, transfers and any special requests.

Lovely Hotel with a very upmarket appeal. Fantastic rooms and service but all comes at a cost. All the extras ie drinks in the bar and restaurant meals are prohibitive in terms of cost. Breakfast at 35 euros each parking at 33 euros per day, tow gin and tonics 35 euros. The hotel has wonderful access to the beach but isn't in the best position to access the centre of town and other restaurants which are located 25 minutes walk away.
