Holiday homes in Bournemouth

About a century ago, Bournemouth drew in many celebrities and royalty being the first spa town with mild weather, lovely beaches and pine-scented-air. Although the first spa is not in use, you can still pamper yourself and get relaxing treatments, therapeutic massages and plenty of facials with lots of different benefits for your skin. Get your mani and pedi done and paint them in the most varied colours, using the latest techniques carried out by beauty professionals. Find a wellness treatment that suits you, recharge your batteries and enjoy a fantastic time in Bournemouth before going back to your daily duties.

This coastal resort town in the south of England boasts excellent sites of natural beauty where you can enjoy lovely walks along the bay and the beach, admire the rugged beauty of its cliffs, explore Hengistbury Head Nature Reserve or the beautiful tropical gardens. The seafront includes a lovely promenade lined with restaurants and bars and a fabulous pier. Watersports, gastronomy and the fabulous sea as the perfect backdrop during your afternoon walks. Could you wish for more?

Enjoy a seven-mile stretch of golden sand, voted the best beach in the UK and still retaining the awarded Blue Flag since 1996. Enjoy the bay and the central beaches, Durley Chine Beach or Alum Chine beaches, family friendly beaches with beach huts, the latter with a pirate-theme playground included. Walking along the promenade you will reach two other beaches, Boscombe and Southborne with slack lines, crazy golf courses and fabulous cafes.

Besides the beaches, Bournemouth is a holiday destination that offers plenty of activities by the sea as well as other sports for those who like to stay on their toes and have an active holiday. Waiting for rippling waves and sparkling waters? Get on your surfboard, kayak or paddle board to enjoy the sea. Get your clubs and go to the driving range and courses for a good day of golf. Racket sports, bowling alleys and beach sports will suit those who wish to stay on land to practice their favourite sport.

There is always an excuse to browse around the shops. In Bournemouth you will find a varied option of great brands and high street favourites but also unique and independent shops, near the beach and the waterfront. After a long day shopping, get a nice cuppa or a delicious ice cream and sit to enjoy the beachfront views.

Bournemouth is well known for being a bustling and lively city with a vibrant nightlife. A wide range of fun is on offer too during the day to amuse yourself and your dearest ones. Watch the latest blockbusters at the cinema, enjoy a theatre play, try your luck at the casino and catch some live music with fantastic gigs at the best venues in town. And when the sun is down, get ready to dance the night away

While in Bournemouth, you have the chance to explore the rest of Dorset and part of the Jurassic Coast, or the military past at Sherborne and Corfe Castles. Geological assets are just a short drive from town and splendid walks in the countryside for the family or a romantic stroll are great outdoor activities to enjoy in the area. For more history, you can spend a day in Hampshire or Wiltshire and explore ancient treasures like the grounds of New Forest and Salisbury and its majestic cathedral.

Spend a day in Adventure Wonderland, a fantastic theme park with rides and theme based attractions. Meet Alice in Wonderland, Mad Hatter, Queen of Hearts, Mr Rabbit and the cheeky Cheshire Cat.

Weather sometimes can be unpredictable in the UK. To be safe, you always need a backup plan. Try a day full of action at the Rock Reef Activity Attraction and Pier Zip, located at the end of Bournemouth Pier. Regardless of age, you will find challenges to suit everybody. Test your balance at the Stairway to Heaven or your courage at the aerial Highline. To make it more challenging, try it a second time but now...blindfolded! If you are more of an adventurous spirit, Pier Cave, with its twists and turns will fascinate you. If you are feeling a bit of a daredevil, maybe the Vertical Slide will test your adrenaline while gravity takes over. Would you leap from a plank from 20 feet above? Take a “leap of faith” and grab the bag hanging in front of you.
