Spring Getaway


Great value, gorgeous setting.

Spring at The Royal means special rates with savings up to 50%, plus half-price room upgrades until 9th April 2026 (subject to availability). Sail across the Solent for an easy island escape, settle in for seasonal dining, and wake to sea air and slower days.

Why come now?

From milder weather and peaceful surroundings to exceptional value and seasonal dining, Spring offers a uniquely rewarding escape.

A Gentle Spring Awakening
Thanks to Ventnor’s famous sub tropical microclimate, spring arrives earlier here than in many other parts of the UK. While much of the country is still wrapped in cold rain and grey skies, Ventnor enjoys warmer temperatures, lush gardens, and brighter days. Our south facing clifftop location captures the best of the early spring sunshine, making Feb-April ideal for coastal walks, garden strolls, and fresh sea air.

Quieter, Calmer, More Relaxed

This time of year sits just before the bustle of peak season, meaning the Island feels calmer and more spacious. Attractions are open, roads are quieter, and beaches feel wonderfully unspoilt. It’s the perfect time to explore Ventnor Bay, wander through Steephill Cove, or enjoy Ventnor Park without the crowds, all at a gentler pace.

Seasonal Dining at Its Best
March also marks the arrival of our spring menus, celebrating the lighter, fresher flavours of the season. In our 2 AA Rosette Geranium Restaurant, Head Chef Jacob Gough and his team showcase locally sourced ingredients at their best. Guests can also enjoy our award‑winning Afternoon Tea in a sunlit airy conservatory, alongside cocktails in our elegant bar.

Attractions Open, Nature Thriving
Many of the Island’s favourite attractions are open and fully operational by March, making it a brilliant time to explore. Coastal paths burst back into life, wildlife becomes more visible, and the Island’s natural beauty feels renewed.


2 Nights in a Classic King/Twin Room from just £429 per couple.
