Our much-loved seaside town has topped the list of Time Out's 'UK Best Places to Visit in 2023' AND also featured in Conde Nast's 'Best Places to Go in the UK in 2023'.
Eastbourne is officially a hot destination!
So why now, I hear you cry? Eastbourne has long been a fabulous place for walkers and cyclists, for multiple outdoor pursuits like paragliding, windsurfing and paddleboarding, and for general seaside fun. And we’ve long had a wealth of restaurants and eateries to keep visitors’ tummies full, plus fabulous theatres hosting West End touring shows.
Well it is our artistic credentials that are making waves and capturing the attention of the media – next year sees the Towner celebrate its 100th year (photo courtesy of Ebourne Images) and it has been selected as the official host of the 2023 Turner Prize.
Conde Nast Traveler also recognises the growing number of great events held at Eastbourne. As well as the long-running Rothesay International Eastbourne tennis tournament (the pre-Wimbledon warm up) and the awe-inspiring Airbourne air show with aerobatics from the likes of the Red Arrows, there is the fun new Soapbox Race, with contestants flying down the seafront from the South Downs end (with crashes and collapsing karts providing much amusement).
And with direct trains from London, Eastbourne is easy to get to – come and join our seaside party! For gorgeous places to stay in the heart of Eastbourne, click below. Or call us on 01323 40 60 90 to chat through property options.
You’ve discovered all the delights about Eastbourne – it’s the sunniest place in the UK, it’s buzzing with cultural ideas and you have the beach, the South Downs National Park and an ever-improving menu of places to eat and drink – and you realise that you’ll need to stay for a while. Let’s make that a week to make the most of all the options and to enable you to relax and unwind.
So, where will you stay? Let’s look at accommodation ideas.
Life is too short for poky hotel rooms and chintzy bed and breakfasts and if you consider an entire house or apartment it allows you the flexibility of self-catering and all the space, equipment and facilities of your own home (and maybe even better!).
Exclusively Eastbourne has been the biggest independent holiday home agency for many a year and has a team to look after you 7 days a week – to help with your initial selection of location and property, ease the planning with information and advice pre-arrival and then all the service you’ll ever need to make the most of your precious holiday once you’re here in Eastbourne.
You've earned a break so where do you fancy staying?
Take your pick from all the plum locations in and around Eastbourne, including upmarket Meads Village, nautical Sovereign Harbour, atmospheric Old Town, be close to the action in Central Eastbourne, on the South Downs, take in the big skies of Pevensey Bay, or how about the buzz of St Leonards?
