Yacht-style glamour on dry land
Like the idea of holidaying on a yacht but don’t have your sea legs? This is where the Royal Yacht hotel comes in. This glitzy, glass fronted hotel offers the glamour of yacht life not only in its interiors, but also in the service provided by its staff. Expect luxurious décor everywhere from the stylish lobby area and restaurants to the rooms – some of which come with a curved-glass balcony overlooking the marina. Did we mention the location? This hotel has scored an enviable post code in the heart of St Helier’s cosmopolitan bustle – the bars, boutiques and cafes of Weighbridge Place are within a stone’s throw.
Fancy a chilled day at the hotel? Look no further than the subterranean Spa Sirène. Here you can bathe in the vitality pool, or hop between the sauna, the aromatherapy steam room and the experience showers. You can also book yourself in for pampering therapies, which often incorporate local ingredients like lavender. Elsewhere, you’ll find a rooftop terrace with views over the marina.
The hotel has a pretty swish setup when it comes to bars and restaurants – for starters, there are three eateries to choose from. The first-floor ocean-themed Sirocco serves Australasian inspired dishes. Then there’s Zephyr, a contemporary social hub offering all-day dining. The Grill speaks for itself really – expect a menu that showcases some of the best steaks and wines on the island. There’s also no fewer than five bars to choose from, including a champagne bar, a residents-only lounge, and a cosy pub-style snug.

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.
