Set in the pines just outside town, the 4-star Grand Hotel Le Touquet is a cracking base for a Northern France golf break. You're around five minutes from the beach, ten from Le Touquet's town centre and under ten minutes by car from Le Touquet Golf Club.
Golf-wise, it's hard to beat for convenience. The club has two championship courses, including Harry Colt's La Mer, plus a shorter nine-hole option that's ideal if you want a loosener or you're arriving later in the day. It's also a former French Open venue, so you know the pedigree is there.
The hotel itself is modern and purpose-built, so don't expect a classic Belle Époque villa. What you do get is contemporary styling, a quieter forest setting and quick access to both golf and the town's restaurants and bars. If you're travelling with non-golfers, or you just fancy a bit of recovery after 36 holes, the Thalassa spa sits next door with an indoor pool, sauna, jacuzzi and solarium, plus a menu of treatments.
In short, it's a very solid all-rounder for couples, small groups and societies who want easy logistics, good sleep and plenty to do off the course.
Who is this for?
Golfers who want to play Le Touquet with short transfers, easy evenings in town and a quieter place to sleep than a central seafront hotel.
Who is it best for?
Couples and small groups who like modern rooms, spa time next door and a flexible off-course scene, from good restaurants to the casino.
