 How long will depend on you both, my personal opinion would be 2 weeks. Any more than that, he may get lonely and look elsewhere. As I do not know your boyfriend, cannot tell for sure.
The fact that you feel like taking a break, means that you need it.
If is it to do with outside relationship issues, explain to him that it is not him but simply you need some space.
He may need some reassurance but if he understands that you really need a break, he will respect that.
