Luxury Beachfront & Seaside Hotels UK
Sun, sea and sand are key items on everyone's holiday wish list, and for a good quarter of the year you can experience all three right here in the UK, preferably at one of any number of beautiful hotels by the sea, including unique beachfront hotels. Waking up to the sound of waves crashing from the comfort of your own bedroom is unbeatable, and even better when you've got a balcony from which to soak up all those glorious sea views. The best part? The beach is on your doorstep, and with that comes beachfront cafés, watersports, coastal walks and fresh seafood. The UK's many luxury seaside hotels tick all the right boxes, and can be anything from romantic and relaxing to family-friendly and fun. Paradise really can be enjoyed right here in Britain, and our beachfront hotels UK collection makes finding the right beach hotel a doddle.
