Isle of Wight Holidays

Are you looking for a holiday that offers new attractions, activities and events for you and your family to experience?

Are you looking for a holiday where excellent food, scenery and entertainment come as standard?

If your answer to the above is YES then you’ve come to the right place. Here on the beautiful Isle of Wight, we have everything you need for a truly amazing holiday - whether you are looking for a luxury getaway, or something more budget friendly.

Say YES to an unforgettable holiday!

Isle of Wight Holidays are steeped in variety and tradition, offering a blend of classic seaside amenities with quaint “chocolate-box” villages set against the backdrop of contrasting, ever-changing landscapes and coastline.

Holidays on the Isle of Wight could mean walking through ancient forests and exploring spectacular downland, or discovering miles of award-winning sand and shingle beaches, rugged cliffs and hidden coves.

Couple all this with a micro-climate that provides some of the warmest weather in Britain, and it is easy to see why Isle of Wight Holidays have been popular since the days of the Victorians!

Say YES to a fun-filled Spring break

Boasting swathes of unspoiled countryside and miles of breathtaking views, there’s no better time to discover everything the Island has to offer than spring.

Make the most of the warmer weather by exploring the many outdoor attractions.

Head to West Wight Alpacas and Llamas and meet the furry friends that make this magical hidden gem their home. You can also stop for a homemade cake or freshly baked wood-fire pizza – or bring a bottle and relax as you watch the sun go down.

Sandham Gardens is another family-favourite. Situated opposite Sandown – the UK’s best beach – there are so many activities to enjoy, from go-karts and a high net adventure course to prehistoric golf and the delicious ice cream shack.

Once you’ve worked up a sweat, try your hand at surfing as the sun sets at Compton Bay, kayaking to Watcombe Bay to admire the tall chalk cliffs and the fabulous outlook to sea, or paddleboarding at Colwell, St Helens, Shanklin, Sandown and Lake. There’s no shortage of landmarks to see.

Say YES to Summer on the Isle of Wight

If you’re seeking traditional entertainment or a day out for you and your family this summer, you’ll find there are more attractions and activities per square mile than anywhere else in the UK!

If thrill-seeking is your game, get active with one of the many outdoor adventures and watersports available on the Island, whether it be kayaking round a famous landmark, para-gliding over the site of the world’s largest ever music festival or climbing to the top of a tree and soaking up panoramic views of the Solent.

Journey through time from dinosaurs to rocket-ships with an island immersed in history and culture, unearthing ancient and modern secrets through our heritage sites, galleries and museums.

Join in the fun at one of the many festivals and events that take place across the Island throughout the summer, from music festivals and arts festivals to food and drink, sailing and the sea!

Say YES to Isle of Wight autumn adventures

Glorious burnt orange woodland, cold, crisp walks and miles of rugged coastline just waiting to be explored; autumn on the Island is the perfect time to witness nature’s spectacular show.

The Island’s mild temperatures are ideal for outdoor activities in the breath-taking landscape. Wrap up snug for scenic walks in the coastal air, crunch along paths of golden leaves, admire the dark night skies, and enjoy the vibrancy of the Island’s breath-taking sunsets and sunrises. Then, at the end of an adventurous day, enjoy the warmth of an open fire in a cosy pub with a hearty meal and a glass of wine (or two).

Enjoy the Pumpkin Festival at Tapnell Farm, Halloween Half-Term at Carisbrooke Castle, and the magical Wizard Week at the Isle of Wight Steam Railway. There’s always something spooky going on – just don’t forget to pack your scariest Halloween costume!

Say YES to Winter magic on the Island

Winter is the perfect time to take advantage of the deserted beaches, quiet roads, and still landscapes. Home to 25 gorgeous beaches, you can roam the Island for miles with just the crashing waves, salty air and 360-degree views for company.

After walking up an appetite, tuck into a delicious locally-sourced Sunday roast at one of the Island’s many pubs and restaurants. Or stop for a pie and a pint of real ale surrounded by beautiful views of the countryside the at The Pointer Inn.

If you love learning about local history, go back in time and explore the Island’s rich heritage. Spend the day exploring Osborne – Queen Victoria’s holiday home. One of the most popular destinations on the Island, Queen Victoria herself once wrote, “It’s impossible to find a prettier spot”. And if the Great British weather decides to kick up a fuss, there are many galleries, museums and exhibitions to explore, too.

Feeling festive? Then get into the Christmas spirit with the Island’s many festive events. Take a wander around the unique Christmas markets, be enchanted by the dazzling illuminations, and book to see one of Island’s side-splitting pantomimes. Whatever you’re in the mood for, nothing does Christmas festivities quite like the Isle of Wight.
