Beachfront retreat in St Helier

This beautiful family-run hotel opened in 1916 after four 19th-century houses were converted. It boasts an enviable location, facing out onto beautiful Havre des Pas Beach, and only a short walk from the bustling centre of St Helier.

You’ll discover a fantastic selection of food and drinks are on offer, whether you fancy the sumptuous set menu at Palmer’s Restaurant – including a roast carvery on Sundays and feasts every Friday evening during the summer – or the à la carte options in Coast Bar & Bistro, where you can watch the tide coming in and out. Having the beach so close is a gift if you like to swim in the sea, especially with the excellent lido only steps away, but if you prefer a dip that’s less chilly, head back to the hotel where the outdoor pool is heated. What's more, the hotel has a sea-facing terrace, which is open daily and (weather permitting) serves up drink, snacks, and afternoon tea.

The rooms are bright and airy, each one individually styled for a little bit of extra charm. You’ll love the spacious bed and soft linens, and you can upgrade for a sea view to really make the most of the hotel’s position next to that beautiful bay.  

What Ommaroo Hotel has to offer

    Havre des Pas Bathing Pool

    With a heated outdoor swimming pool and direct access to the beach, you’re already spoiled for swimming options at Ommaroo, but just a couple of minutes away on foot you’ll discover this tidal pool, which has been voted among the 10 best lidos in the UK. Free to access, there are changing rooms and toilets, as well as a café selling drinks and snacks in the summer.

    Afternoon tea with a view

    Coast Bar & Bistro is the hotel’s relaxed eatery, where you can enjoy a classic afternoon tea selection of cut sandwiches, scones (with Jersey butter, of course), cakes, tea and coffee. A fantastic à la carte menu is available throughout the day too. With wide windows looking out onto the changing tides of Havre des Pas Beach, it’s a gorgeous place to sit and relax.

    King Street

    The hotel is only a 10-minute stroll from the centre of St Helier and the charming pedestrian-friendly shopper’s paradise of King Street. You’ll find many of your high street favourites here, along with independent boutiques and coffee shops. It also regularly hosts markets, where you can pick up fresh produce and artisanal crafts – perfect if you’re looking to buy a couple of gifts for friends and family back home.

    Find out more about Jersey

    This pocket-sized Channel Island is living proof that sometimes the best things come in small packages. Jersey packs more charm and character into its 46 square miles than you’d think was possible. You’ll find it just 14 miles from the Bay of Saint-Malo in France, but the island feels quintessentially British… but with better weather – it’s a win-win situation, really.
