Nestled on the South Shore is a French-inspired getaway that will whisk you away to Giverny and make you completely forget you’re in Massachusetts—just 45 minutes from Boston. It’s a place where the air feels restorative and the surroundings feel magical.
It’s a retreat where waltzing around in your plush Frette robes is not just allowed but encouraged, all day long. Meticulous detail decorates every inch of this European-inspired retreat—from the Monet mirror pond to the on-site French countryside bistro, and fresh bouquets adorn nearly every space, even accompanying room service.
Escape to France sans flight
Whether for a day trip to Mirbeau’s expansive spa or an overnight retreat, the first impression of Mirbeau Inn & Spa Plymouth is France. The manor’s antique décor and abundant blooms transport you to Provence, while the nearly identical Monet Pond Gardens are reminiscent of Giverny. Hundreds of high-quality Jay Cornelius and Claude Monet replicas line the walls. The 50 rooms of the property honor French Impressionist art, while stone fireplaces add a belly-warming coziness.
Mirbeau’s plaster exterior and wrought iron balconies nod to Paris and the French countryside, overlooking either the Monet gardens or the sprawling Pinehills Golf Club. Founded around the principle of “Life. Classically Balanced,” Mirbeau celebrates a softer pace. Mirbeau exclusive bath amenities bring the spa right into the privacy of your own guestroom.
Enjoy a shower with pure eucalyptus spray for an invigorating spa-like experience, or soak in a massive vintage-inspired tub with Mirbeau’s complimentary Reflect bath bombs—ensuring the best sleep of your life.
Lithuanian wool throws and an in-room sound machine with over 20 settings, ranging from white noise to calming forest sounds, offer supreme coziness. When you wake up from the best sleep of your life in French toile decorated bedding, enjoy a fresh brew from your in-room Lavazza espresso machine.
Start with breakfast in your plush robe at the property’s all-day restaurant, The Bistro. The omelets are a must, plus, be sure to try the grilled chicken Caesar with buttermilk-Parmesan dressing, and steak frites for an unforgettable meal served beside the Monet pond gardens. A school of fish swim below, including an 18-inch koi as delicate French jazz plays in the background. Bon appétit!
Unwind at a 16,500-square-foot French countryside spa
With all the comforts of your guestroom, it’s tempting to stay in, but the property and location offer much to be explored—starting with Mirbeau’s massive indoor/outdoor spa. The spa features 20 treatment rooms, each equipped with a heated bed and in-room fireplace. Mirbeau offers a deluxe suite of services using their exclusive products crafted with essential oils and organic ingredients.
Hotel guests indulge in unlimited access to the spa’s amenities, which include a 365 heated outdoor whirlpool, solarium with dazzling starburst lights (an ideal spot to get lost in a good book on a rainy day), a state-of-the-art fitness center, complimentary fitness classes, a heated foot bath, and ice-cold cucumber towels. Wind down with a Mirbeau mani-pedi, complete with warm Mirbeau body whip, a hot oil massage of your choice, and a magic callus-dissolving foam.
The side of Plymouth you didn’t know existed
Each Mirbeau destination is uniquely reflective of the brand. Plymouth was chosen as the second location for its historic New England charm, coastal beauty, and vibrant sense of place. Its proximity to Boston made it the ideal location for a preferred getaway destination for regional guests from the greater Boston and Providence areas. Mirbeau and The Pinehills also share a similar philosophy and clientele: both are established, award-winning, and known for unique architecture and presence.
The Plymouth property perfectly aligns with Mirbeau’s philosophy of creating immersive, otherworldly escapes that feel far away—yet remain just a short journey from home.
Things to do in Plymouth
While you may not feel like you’re in Plymouth at this French-inspired escape, the town’s rich history is right at your doorstep. Take advantage of Mirbeau’s complimentary fleet of Electra bikes or Audi loaner car to explore. Right across the property are the Shops at Village Green, home to Blueberry Muffin Café, Snizzy’s Gelato Shop, a quaint bookshop, and the green itself, which hosts live music and food trucks in the evenings.
Mirbeau’s connected to 27 miles of Pinehills trails and overlooks Plymouth’s famous Pinehills Golf Club, where you can purchase a day pass and enjoy over 300 acres of tee time. White Horse Beach, one of Plymouth’s top beaches, is just a five-mile drive from the property. No visit to Plymouth would be complete without a stop at the Plimoth Patuxet Museums and Plymouth Rock, both about 10 minutes away.
About Mirbeau Inn & Spa
The Mirbeau brand celebrates its 25th anniversary this year by giving guests edible nasturtium seedlings, a living memento of a French countryside retreat. The nasturtiums draw inspiration from those Monet planted in his gardens.
Mirbeau’s Plymouth location is the second of four properties, combining the amenities of a gracious French manor house with a Forbes Travel Guide retreat and spa paired with elegant on-site dining, all with the feel of a private French estate. At the center of the property, Monet-inspired pond gardens evoke feelings of staying at a French country estate—you’ll completely forget you’re in Massachusetts.
For those in Western New England, Mirbeau’s Albany and Rhinebeck locations are under an hour away! The Mirbeau family includes four locations: Plymouth, the original Skaneateles, NY, plus, properties in Albany and Rhinebeck, New York. Mirbeau plans to open its fifth location in Beacon, New York, next spring.
