Short Breaks

Bournemouth’s enviable location on Britain’s South Coast, with its long sandy beaches and temperate microclimate, make it a great choice for a short break away with a loved one, family or group of friends. Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary, birthday or simply want to take some time out from the hum drum of your everyday routine, a getaway in Bournemouth is ideal. It’s a world class resort on UK shores that makes you feel like you’re abroad without the stress of a long haul flight.

We love Bournemouth and we’re sure you will too and we’ve used our years of expertise to put together some inspiration for your short break. Take a look at our ideas for themed stays in the resort.

If you and your family love art, history and culture, we’ve got museums and theatres for you to visit as well as ideas on where to grab a bite to eat before the performance or refreshments to keep you firing on all cylinders as you browse the galleries.

For couples who are treating themselves to some quality time together by the sea, we’ve selected the most romantic experiences and attractions in town and we’ve included suggested restaurants and bars to give you the intimacy you so desire.

Perhaps you’re treating mum to a well-deserved break or you’re on a girlie away-day. Then a spa break is the perfect mix of pampering and indulgence and we’ve put together our top picks for your wellness retreat. We’ve included shopping suggestions since retail therapy is often a vital part of your rejuvenation!

Our suggested short breaks are meant to inspire and feed your imagination so don’t be afraid to take our recommendations as a starter for ten and go off the beaten track once you’ve found your feet. It’s your holiday – make it one to remember!
