Great Value Coach Holidays to the Seaside

Enjoy a fabulous, great value long weekend Spring break on one of the UK's most popular holiday islands. The Isle of Wight may be just five miles off the mainland, but it’s a different world. Nowhere in the country can match it for geographical variety in its 23 mile long and 13 mile wide, stretch of land. You will find quiet fishing harbours and quaint towns and villages, along with stretches of golden sand and unspoilt, award-winning beaches. More than half the Isle of Wight is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and with spectacular scenery and a rich royal heritage, the island has plenty to offer all year round. Our charming seaside town base of Sandown, nestled on the island's eastern coast, beckons with its captivating blend of natural beauty, history and fun. Whether you're seeking a tranquil beach retreat, an adventurous exploration of the island's treasures, or a journey through its rich history, this break offers a short yet memorable visit.

We'll whisk you away and over the water on the short crossing from the mainland to then arrive at your hotel in Sandown. The Burlington Hotel is in a central seaside location set back just 2 minutes walk from the beach and town centre.

Whilst on the Isle of Wight, join us as we explore some of the best the island has to offer with a scenic 'Round the Island Tour' and a visit to the popular resort of Shanklin. Not forgetting time for you enjoy the historic resort of Sandown at your own pace.

An ideal choice for:

* Anyone looking for a chance to explore the best of the Isle of Wight at a great price
* Traditional seaside lovers looking for a relaxing Spring long weekend break
* Lovers of picture-perfect settings and scenery

Tenby is probably the most iconic seaside town in Wales, rivalling places like Mevagissey and Polperro for quaintness and charm. This pretty seaside town has three great beaches; north, south and castle, each with its own character and all facing in different directions so at least one should be sheltered if it happens to be windy!

Subject to traffic and travel, we depart Tenby at approximately 17:00 to start our homeward journey back to South Wales.

Belgium's most popular seaside resort and one of our favourite European destinations!

Enjoy our short break to Belgium with the lovely seaside resort of Ostend as our base. It has long been a firm favourite with Leisuretimers, and it is not hard to see why. With its individual charm, characterful seafront and marina, bustling markets and shops, and great restaurants, Ostend is perfect for a leisurely break.

Discover its cosmopolitan centre and beautiful parks, take a stroll along the pier or promenade lined with midrise architecture and cosy seafront cafes, or simply relax on the white-sandy beach. Ostend has a rich Maritime history and its location on the Belgian coast, of course, opens the doors to a number of culinary delights, so why not head to a seafood restaurant to sample them?

We stay at the popular Royal Astrid Hotel, which features an excellent spa and wellness complex and is located only 100m from the beach.

Spend all your time exploring Ostend and enjoying the facilities at the hotel, or join our excursions to the picturesque medieval cities of Bruges and Ghent.
