Weekend experiences not to miss
Weekend wonders

And for an unforgettable sunset, take a scenic stroll to La Corbière Lighthouse, perched dramatically on Jersey’s coastline. Whether you crave exploration or relaxation, Jersey is the perfect weekend escape.
Island RIB Voyages

Indulge in delicious French cuisine in Carteret, wonder in the magnificence of our local dolphin and seal wildlife safaris, swim in crystal clear waters and so much more.
Jersey Seafaris
RIB boat trips around Jersey's beautiful coastline, offshore reefs and surrounding waters. Seafaris include Les Ecréhous, Les Minquiers, north coast and caves, France for lunch or dinner, dolphin spotting and so much more. Suitable for all, whether it's scenery, wildlife or an adrenaline fix, there is a Seafari for you.
Spa Sirène at The Royal Yacht
In the heart of the busy town of St. Helier within The Royal Yacht lies the award winning Spa Sirène, a haven of tranquillity, beautiful surroundings and true indulgence. A stay at The Royal Yacht is not complete without a visit to our award-winning Spa Sirène.
Jersey Zoo
Jersey Zoo began as the first ever conservation-themed zoo. Over 60 years later, Gerald Durrell’s animal haven is the natural place to discover some of the world’s most incredible creatures. Whether you're after fun, tranquility, knowledge or a place to soak up the sunshine, this beautiful 32-acre park has it all.
La Corbière Lighthouse
Discover the iconic La Corbière Lighthouse in Jersey. It’s not just the architecture of this striking white lighthouse that draws the eye. It’s also the location - towering over Jersey’s south-western corner, flanked by rocks and reached by a causeway.
St. Brelade’s Bay
This beautiful Jersey beach at St. Brelade’s Bay is one of island’s most popular, loved by visitors for its golden sand and safe swimming. If you’re visiting the island, you’ll find plenty to do at St. Brelade’s beach including family friendly activities, watersports, beach cafés and seaside restaurants, beach walks and plenty of sunbathing spots.
Sauna Society – Beach Sauna
Discover the ancient art of wood fired sauna at our beachside venue overlooking St. Catherine's Breakwater and beyond. Immerse yourself in hot/cold therapy, taking dips in the sea during your session. Each booking lasts 1 hour - book in using our website for a private or communal slot.
La Hougue Bie Museum
A truly memorable experience that is both thought provoking and peaceful. Unlike many other dolmens, you can stand inside its chamber and feel the atmosphere of this profoundly sacred space. The passage grave is one of the ten oldest buildings in the world.
Jersey War Tunnels
Jersey War Tunnels tells the true story of wartime Jersey in a way that no other visitor attraction does. It’s the best place to get a true picture of what life was really like in Jersey during WWII. The exhibition is housed within an underground tunnel complex, built by the Germans using slave labour.
St. Ouen’s Bay
With its sun kissed headland and soft sandy beaches, Jersey's western shoreline offers up some of the island's most magical locations, a long stretch of golden sand and views over the Atlantic Ocean make St. Ouen's Bay something special. The bay is a great spot for a sunset BBQ with the family, just over the road from the stunning sand dunes.
Devil’s Hole
Descend a winding path passing a sinister statue, to discover the Devil’s Hole; an impressive and strangely eerie blowhole that has been eroded into Jersey’s coastline over the millennia.
Ayush Wellness Spa
Relaxation is the essence in a place where time stops but mind and body restoration begins. We offer a portfolio of authentic Ayurvedic therapies and luxurious spa treatments. Ayush Spa houses an infinity pool, hydrotherapy pool with jacuzzi, hot and cold plunge pools, sauna and steam room.
Stay in style
After a day of exploring, retreat to a stay that’s just as unforgettable as your adventure. Nestled in the countryside, Greenhills offers a peaceful retreat with elegant rooms and award-winning dining, perfect for a romantic weekend getaway.
