Normandy's most glamorous resort — palace hotels, the famous boardwalk, casino and racecourse on the Côte Fleurie.
Deauville is where Paris goes to the sea, and its hotels match: grand palace-style five-stars with thalassotherapy spas, plus polished four-stars a short stroll from the beach. This is the place for full-service glamour rather than small boutiques.
Stay near Les Planches (the boardwalk) and the seafront for the classic Deauville experience, or just back from the beach around the centre and the casino for slightly better value.
Demand peaks in summer, during the American Film Festival (September) and the racing and polo season. Book well ahead for those windows.
Heading to the festival too? See where to stay for the Armada.

Deauville or Trouville for luxury?
