Jersey is the crown jewel in the English Channel and the sunniest spot in the British Isles, so where better to celebrate the King’s Coronation bank holiday weekend? You can even make it a double celebration and stay for Liberation Day which falls on 09 May – a significant date in the island’s calendar marking the day Jersey was liberated by British troops after almost five years of occupation by German forces. Raise a glass to the new King, in the most southerly vineyard in the British Isles, explore archaeological sites of global significance and discover unique wildlife on spectacular walks.

Find your regal residence.
How about becoming King or Queen of your very own castle for a long weekend? A stay at Elizabeth Castle might be just the ticket. In Jersey we have some truly unique and historic places to stay that will add a curious twist to your escape. You can expect a royal welcome at Longueville Manor or perhaps lording it up in your own fort is more your style? Wherever you choose to stay, it’ll be sure to make your reign in Jersey a memorable one.

Elizabeth Castle Apartment
Sitting one mile off the coast of Jersey’s main town of St. Helier, the castle apartment sits within one of Jersey’s most iconic locations surrounded by the sea twice a day. The apartment, split over two levels, with a recently refurbished kitchen and shower room on the lower level, the apartment sleeps up to six people.

Longueville Manor Hotel
The most highly rated of all Jersey hotels and the only AA 5 Red Star hotel and Relais & Châteaux member in the Channel Islands. Guests can expect a sophisticated yet relaxed 'home from home' feeling from the moment they arrive and exceptional facilities to enjoy during their stay.

Fort Leicester
Stay in your very own fort! Spread over three levels, this magnificent 19th century fort sits above the picturesque harbour of Bouley Bay and has a private garden and terrace. The guardhouse is converted to the main bedroom with one double bed and two single beds, and a wood burning stove.

La Crête Fort
Nestling on a headland, this tranquil property is built on Jersey’s rugged north coast and is surrounded on three sides by the sea. La Crête Fort comprises a double or twin bedroom, a single bunkroom and spacious shower room and large lounge/diner with sofa bed. A flight of stone steps will take you up to a large granite room with a vaulted ceiling

Take tea by the sea.
Pinkies at the ready as we sit down to take tea by the sea in Jersey. You’ll discover that we can be terribly refined in our little island and we like to add a certain ‘je ne sais quoi’ to our thoroughly Brit…(ish) pastimes. In Jersey we believe that food is best enjoyed with a sea view and the same goes for afternoon tea. Soak up the sea air at the Somerville Hotel with enviable views across St. Aubin’s Bay or L’Horizon Beach Hotel & Spa and stroll along the award-winning St. Brelade’s Bay while you’re there. If you’re on the go, stop by one of the island’s bakeries like FOUR Artisan Bakery or Vienna Bakery and treat yourself to something sweet. It’s what the King would want after all.

The Poplars Tea Room
We’ve been delighting visitors for years. We’ve been up and baking since 1984 and are renowned for our great, simple home cooking. A family run tea room serving homemade snacks, light lunches and afternoon teas.

FOUR Artisan Bakery & Chocolaterie
An artisan bakery, coffee house and chocolaterie. Fresh handcrafted organic sourdough savoury and sweet delights including traditional French baguettes, vegan friendly cakes, focaccia, croissants, brownies and more are prepared fresh every morning using only the finest ingredients.

Vienna Bakery

Ransoms Tearoom and Restaurant
A Jersey institution since 1992, Ransoms Tearoom is a delightful lunch spot renowned for its mouthwatering homemade cakes, each crafted with love in their on-site bakery.

Paintbrushes at the ready.
