Come discover Dinard with VOYA.

Brittany / Bretagne

At VOYA, we design escapes for those who crave beauty with soul, and Dinard delivers just that. Perched on Brittany’s Emerald Coast, this seaside town blends Belle Époque elegance with salty air, hidden beaches, lively morning markets, and that irresistible French rhythm that invites you to slow down and savor.

Your retreat begins with a carefully chosen seaside villa or boutique hotel, complemented by thoughtfully arranged lunches and dinners. Private transfers from Dinard airport or Rennes station, along with daily transportation to your experiences, ensure everything feels seamless from the moment you arrive.

What you do here is entirely yours to imagine. Perhaps it’s a private sailing tour along the Côte d’Émeraude, a chef-prepared picnic on a cliffside, or an oyster tasting at the source in Cancale. Or maybe your days are filled with coastal hikes, browsing brocantes, or simply sitting by the sea with a glass of wine and nowhere to be.

Work with us in the way that suits you:

  • VOYA Essentials — a complete insider itinerary, ready for you to book yourself.

  • VOYA Curated — we also secure your reservations and handle arrangements, so you can simply arrive and savor.

This isn’t an all-inclusive. It’s a curated, custom-built escape where every detail is shaped around your vision of rest, discovery, and joy.

For me, Dinard is more than a destination, it’s home. Let me share it with you the VOYA way.

Why Visit the Emerald Coast of Brittany?

The Emerald Coast (Côte d’Émeraude) is one of France’s best-kept secrets , a stretch of rugged coastline that has quietly enchanted French families for generations. It’s not overbuilt or overly polished, and that’s exactly why those in the know return year after year.

A Discreet Haven of Old-World Charm
This isn’t the French Riviera. The Emerald Coast is for those who crave beauty without flash, where you’re more likely to see a striped marinière and espadrilles than designer logos. The towns here, Dinard, Saint-Lunaire, Saint-Briac, Saint-Malo, are dotted with Belle Époque villas, family-owned creperies, and weekly markets that locals actually use.

It’s long been a favorite for Parisian families and old money summer homes. But it never tries to impress. It simply is.

What Makes It Special?

  • Fresh air and real sea salt — Hike coastal cliffs, swim in ocean-fed pools, or take a ferry across turquoise bays

  • Gastronomy grounded in tradition — Crepes, galettes, oysters, kouign-amann, butter that tastes like cheese, and cider that tastes like sunshine

  • Authentic, not curated — This isn’t a museum piece, it’s a living region. People live here, thrive here, take pride in it

  • Quiet elegance — It’s understated, it’s grounded, and it’s unlike anywhere else in France

Why Visit Now? The Emerald Coast is timeless and visiting means stepping into something real. It doesn’t ask you to perform. It invites you to slow down, breathe in the sea air, and enjoy the kind of travel that feels both easy and meaningful.

If you’re looking for a place that’s just as beautiful as it is grounded, the Emerald Coast is waiting.
