Honeymoon itinerary
Guernsey is a veritable hub for experiences that cater to both adventurers and those who prefer a more sedate pace. The island has miles of stunning walks, a highlight being those taken through Bluebell Woods. With our walking tours, you can learn about the island’s rich history from a gold-accredited guide. The island’s beaches lend themselves perfectly to both surfing and horse riding. Once you have finished, take in the west coast sunset from Cobo Bay with fish, chips, and Champagne. Couples will find the Rocquette cider tour, where you take a tour of the estate and learn about the cidermaking process before enjoying a tasting session, particularly thirst-quenching. Spot dolphins, puffins and seals with a spellbinding boat trip along Guernsey’s southeast coastline, or embark upon an island adventure by visiting the neighbouring Sark and Herm.
No honeymoon is complete without the perfect suite. That being said, our Governor’s Suite – a penthouse exuding history and luxury in equal measure, whilst offering sweeping panoramas as neighbouring islands Herm and Sark burnish the backdrop and Saint Peter Port sits proudly within the foreground – offers an unparalleled setting for you to raise a glass to your new beginning. Be greeted with a welcome hamper full of local treats before enjoying canapés (complimentary and delivered every evening) alongside a sundowner from your private terrace for a truly unforgettable honeymoon experience.
All of our rooms and suites bear the hallmarks of an individual touch, each arranged with beautiful décor and colour palettes that hark back to our nautical roots and imbue the living space with a real sense of calm. This interior tranquillity harmonises perfectly with the azure vistas available from a selection of our rooms and suites – be sure to make your honeymoon a truly memorable one by allowing these vistas to set the perfect romantic scene.
Spa & wellness
In addition to a heated outdoor pool, a studio gym, sauna and steam rooms, whirlpools, and a relaxation suite, our health and fitness facilities extend to restorative Spa and wellness treatments. Use your precious honeymoon time to unwind together in our secluded sanctuary of a Spa as you feel a sense of shared revitalisation that brings an extra glow to your new beginning.
