LOCATION
Perched on the sun-kissed southeast coast of the Isle of Wight, Shanklin is a timeless seaside escape where golden sands meet clifftop charm. It’s a place where holiday memories are made—strolling along the beach, exploring secret garden paths, and lingering over cream teas in centuries-old tearooms.
At the heart of Shanklin lies the Old Village, a picture-perfect corner of the island brimming with historic thatched cottages, independent shops, and cosy restaurants. Just a short wander from your door, this enchanting area feels like stepping into a storybook. Enjoy a meal in one of the thatched pubs or sip a local ale as you overlook the sea at the famous beachside inn by Shanklin Chine, a magical gorge of cascading waterfalls and lush greenery lit up beautifully at night.
Beyond the village charm, Shanklin’s vibrant promenade offers traditional seaside fun—from arcades and beach cafés to family-friendly eateries and scenic walks along the coast. Whether you’re hunting fossils with the kids, soaking in a sunset over the bay, or catching a live show at the local theatre, there’s something here for everyone.
Thanks to its central location, the apartment offers easy access to the best of the island. Within minutes, you can reach Sandown’s Dinosaur Isle, tackle the treetop adventures at Sandham Gardens, or step back in time with a visit to Osborne House, Queen Victoria’s stunning seaside residence in East Cowes.
And don’t miss Godshill, one of the most charming villages in the UK, with its postcard-perfect cottages, model village, and local fudge shops—it’s a must-see.
Whether you're here to unwind, explore, or reconnect, Shanklin is your gateway to the beauty, history, and relaxed pace of island life.
