Dinard and its surroundings

By booking your room at the Hôtel Balmoral, you'll be staying in an exceptional setting. Dinard is located at the entrance to the Bay of Mont Saint-Michel. This iconic monument is just an hour from your accommodation.

You'll have many activities and visits to enjoy in Dinard: art galleries, cinemas, a casino, bowling/billiards, and more. Stroll through the Market Halls on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday mornings. Finally, you'll enjoy discovering the Rance de Dinard Dam, a testament to the city's industrial heritage.

Relaxation and water activities in Dinard

A seaside stay is an opportunity to enjoy the beaches. Near your hotel, you'll find Écluse Beach, Saint Enogat Beach, Port-Blanc Beach, or Prieuré Beach, with views of Saint-Malo.

You can also enjoy some water activities during your getaway: a guided cruise on the Rance River, jet skiing, flyboarding, boat rentals, and more. To get to Saint-Malo or Dinan, among other destinations, take the Vedettes de Saint-Malo.

Getaway to the Emerald Coast

From Cancale to Cap Fréhel stretches the Emerald Coast. Staying in Dinard, which is located along its route, will give you the opportunity to admire magnificent landscapes.

Take the numerous hiking trails that border the sea, run along the cliffs, and cross vast stretches of fine sand. We particularly recommend embarking on the GR34, also known as the "Customs Officers' Trail".

Take the opportunity to stop off at the various coastal villages.

Saint-Malo: between visits and heritage

Located on the Emerald Coast, Saint-Malo is a city not to be missed. It is less than 15km from your accommodation and offers many activities and visits!

Stroll through the city of Saint-Malo, admire the ramparts, the castle, and the buildings, rebuilt identically after being destroyed in 1944. Exciting and fun visits also await you at the History Museum or the Grand Aquarium.

From the port of Saint-Malo, you can take the ferry to England.

Multiple gems in the surrounding area

Take the time to explore the towns and villages surrounding Dinard. Head to Saint-Suliac: this fishing village will allow you to observe fishing nets on the facades of houses and flower-lined alleyways.

Less than 60km will take you to Bécherel, rich in bookstores and events dedicated to the world of books. In Combourg, you'll appreciate the medieval castle, which was the home of the writer Chateaubriand.

To conclude your exploration of the region, head to Cancale! The oyster port of this seaside resort, as well as its church tower and beaches, will charm you.
