Sandbanks Hotel

About the venue

Situated in one of England’s most exclusive locations, The Sandbanks is relaxed and affordable, with attractions to suit every need.

On one side of the hotel, there is direct access to Sandbanks' Blue Flag beach with safe swimming in the sea and seven miles of golden sands with views of Old Harry Rocks, Poole and Bournemouth Bay round to Hengistbury Head and across to the Isle of Wight. On the other side there are views of Brownsea Island and the Purbecks across the natural bay of Poole Harbour. Poole Harbour's shallow waters are a magnet, drawing water sports experts and beginners from afar and is the ideal base for the very own Watersports Academy. With 108 guest rooms, many with sea or harbour views and balcony, The Sandbanks suits a wide range of guests, whether for short breaks, holidays, business meetings or special events. Although particularly family-friendly, the hotel’s layout allows everyone space to enjoy their visit in their own way. Open to non-residents, many locals often drop by for a drink on the terrace or savour the opportunity to relax with a delicious meal in the restaurant overlooking the sea. They understand that you may be perfectly happy to spend all your time in the hotel, but if you seek other activities and attractions, there are plenty of things to do nearby.
