Isle of Wight holidays

Enjoy fun days out on a family holiday 

Calling all fairies, pirates, sheriffs and dinosaur hunters - a whole day of fun awaits at Blackgang Chine adventure theme park on the south of the island. You can choose to jump on a ride, fly down a water slide or gather your posse for a Wild West showdown. There’s so much to enjoy, climb, see and discover, making this a top day out. Of course, being an island of just 147 square miles, you’re never far away from a fun-filled day of activities out on the water. The sandy shores and great waves of Compton are perfect for surfing or you can learn to kayak with the kids in the safe sheltered shallows of Puckpool Park. Book one of our family-friendly holiday parks and continue the fun from your home away from home, with added extras like onsite entertainment, swimming pools and kids clubs. We've also got quirky glamping breaks in Southern England.

Soak up history and culture on a short break

The Isle of Wight has a rich cultural heritage that spans thousands of years. History buffs can immerse themselves in the past by visiting Carisbrooke Castle, Osborne House (Queen Victoria's former residence) and the Roman Villa in Brading. The island's seafaring heritage is showcased at the intriguing Shipwreck Centre and Maritime Museum, while literary lovers can visit Farringford House, the former home of poet Alfred Lord Tennyson. For a nostalgic journey through the island’s beautiful countryside, take a ride on the Isle of Wight Steam Railway. The island is also renowned for its festivals and events, including the Isle of Wight Festival and Cowes Week, attracting music lovers and sailing enthusiasts from around the world. If you're visiting the island for a special occasion, our larger holiday parks and luxury lodges are perfect for getting together to celebrate with friends and family.

Experience beauty and nature on a relaxing weekend away 

With stunning natural beauty and breathtaking views, the Isle of Wight is a great choice for a romantic retreat or a relaxing short break to refresh and recharge. Take a stroll along the beach at one of the island’s pretty coastal spots, like Compton Bay or Freshwater Bay; enjoy a peaceful walk through ancient woodland in Borthwood Copse nature reserve, a prime spot for birdwatching; or dine on freshly caught fish in one of the seafood shacks and restaurants in the secluded Steephill Cove in Ventnor. Those interested in fishing for themselves can bait a hook and cast a line at one of the island’s many angling spots, with opportunities for freshwater, shore and beach fishing. Elevate your relaxing getaway by booking one of our hot tub lodges and allow yourself to really soak up the serenity on your Isle of Wight holiday.
