The perfect spot for a seaside Easter break!
Steeped in history with 60 miles of stunning unspoilt coastal scenery and a wealth of attractions, the Isle of Wight has something for everyone. From historic sites to natural delights, music festivals and major national events, it is a unique holiday destination with its own timeless charm. The Island is situated just 5 miles off the mainland coast and occupies 147 square miles including many designated areas of outstanding natural beauty. Shanklin is probably the island's best known resort and combines the traditions of the 'Old Village' with the modern seaside resort. Nestled in the bay between Sandown and Ventnor, Shanklin regularly tops the charts for the number of sunshine hours. New for 2027 is an included visit to Ventnor Botanic Garden.

INCLUDED EXCURSION
Ventnor Botanic Garden & Ventnor
Ventnor Botanic Garden is set in a unique microclimate that’s around 5°C warmer than the rest of the UK and protected from the cold northerly winds by chalk downs. Spread across 22 stunning acres, the garden is home to over 30,000 rare and exotic plants from around the world, thriving in natural outdoor settings. Just a short distance from the seafront, this unique garden is unrivalled for its variety of subtropical plants, including its impressive collection of succulents and cacti, flowering aloes and mature palm trees. There are regular displays and art exhibitions as well as a gift shop and cafe.
After your visit, enjoy some free time in Ventnor (or V-Town to those in the know), a real gem with its famed microclimate, shingle beach and zig-zag approach to the seafront. Ventnor was well known as a health resort in Victorian times with Charles Dickens, Karl Marx, Sir Winston Churchill and Mahatma Gandhi amongst the icons of the past to take the town’s air. Return to the hotel via the picturesque old village of Godshill with its delightful thatched cottages, gift shops, tea rooms, ice cream parlours, pubs and a church up on the hill.
