Weekend experiences not to miss
Weekend wonders
Make the most of your Jersey getaway with experiences that blend adventure, history, and relaxation. Sink your toes into the golden sands of St. Brelade’s Bay, one of the island’s most picturesque beaches. Step back in time at the Jersey War Tunnels, an underground museum that uncovers the island’s WWII history. For a dose of natural beauty, enjoy one of Jersey’s stunning coastal walks, where rugged cliffs meet breathtaking ocean views. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 Mare Wine Estate
Visit Jersey’s award-winning sustainable vineyard, distillery & organic cider estate. As a working farm La Mare offers a unique field-to-glass insight into Jersey's culture and environment. Join a Tour and Tasting Experience, dine by the vines, shop local delicacies and keep little ones amused with a Vineyard Trail - there's something for everyone.
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.
48-mile coastal walking route
Walk into the weekend on the Jersey Tidal Trail
Got a day to spare? You can circle the entire island on foot – all 48 miles of it – in one epic, Jersey Tidal Trail adventure. Or, take the scenic route and pick just one of eight stunning sections, perfect for a breezy weekend wander.
