Close to Brighton, Eastbourne is a beautiful place for a spa break, within easy reach of London and right on the water’s edge. Famous for its pier, its harbour and its Victorian seafront hotels, it’s a destination that offers modern hospitality alongside historic charm.
Think of Eastbourne and immediately the white stucco fronted Grand Hotel comes to mind. The epitome of an Eastbourne spa break, the romantic hotel speaks to a bygone era of style and sophistication, having once attracted the likes of Charlie Chaplin and Debussy.
Eastbourne Pier is an iconic landmark in Eastbourne. Dating back to the 1860s, it stretches out into the water and is home to a variety of attractions including a chippy, a nightclub, coffee shops, a Victorian tea room - all with views of the English Channel. Such is its prevalence, it’s made its way into multiple TV shows and films ranging from Poirot to Angus Thongs & Perfect Snogging.
The town’s 1930s bandstand is also famous. Once again on the seafront it’s reputed to be ‘the busiest Bandstand on planet earth’ and is a major venue for music events and concerts. The variety of attractions in and around Eastbourne is vast, so whether you’re on a family holiday, a trip with friends or on a romantic spa break, there’s something for every occasion. Take a stroll past the Seven Sisters cliffs to the Cuckmere Valley and Beachy Head, explore the sophisticated circular Redoubt Fortress, see superb modern art collections at the Towner Art Gallery or sit and watch the world go by on the beach.
If you’re staying for a few days, you might also like to head a little further afield to the South Downs National Park, which is superbly beautiful and is home to spas including the luxurious South Lodge with its magnificent eco spa.
