Perched on the cliffs in Bembridge, overlooking Whitecliff Bay with its secluded beach, the Whitecliff Bay Holiday Park is a hidden gem in the Isle of Wight.
With beautiful countryside as its surrounding and direct access to the beach this holiday park has the perfect setting. Quaint villages with shops, galleries and cafes, family attractions and bars and restaurants in the vicinity make exploring the area even more fun.
The park offers a number of family facilities like a large outdoor heated pool and an indoor heated pool with flume. The evening family entertainment including live bands, magicians and comedians are a brilliant addition. Children will love the activities such as body zorbing, pool snorkelling, archery, soft play and amusements. The Nab bar with beautiful views of the bay and fantastic burgers mean you don't have to venture far for a great meal.
There are various accommodations on site from caravans, lodges and chalets suiting everyone. All the accommodations are a perfect blend of warmth, comfort and luxury.

37 reviews from guests who stayed at Whitecliff Bay Holiday Park
"Weve spent fantastic time at Whitecliff Holiday park . Outdoor pool was amazing and view spectacular. Weve had a pets friendly chalet and our doggie received welcome pack. Beds were so comfy and chalet really clean. Perfect location as lots of places were between short drive distance. Weve found this little Bakery in Bembridge and its e had fresh bread every morning ??"
"Loved this accomodation apart from the distance from the main park. This might suit other holiday makers very well."
"Honestly, we werent wowed by this place. The kitchen and living area were tidy but pretty basic, nothing special. The main bedroom was tiny, way smaller than other caravans weve been in - barely enough space to walk around the bed or open the wardrobe. The shower was a letdown too; it couldnt run on full power because the tray filled up quickly. Not what we expected!"
"Our first stay at Away Resorts was quite lovely! We booked over Christmas and stayed in the VIP accommodation, which was fantastic - the kids especially loved their room. The welcome pack was a lovely touch, even if we dont drink alcohol, maybe I shouldve mentioned that. The locations really convenient too. Overall, a good experience!"
"Our Whitecliff Bay Holiday Park review: The chalet was really cosy and had everything we needed for a self-catering break. The beds were super comfy and the pillows made a big difference. Heating kept it warm during January, which was a lifesaver. The walk-in shower was great and the WiFi was quick. Loved the little patio with the table and chairs!"

"Really relaxing and fun"
"Overall, our stay was quite enjoyable. The staff at reception were really helpful, quickly arranging a heater when one caravan lacked central heating-so appreciated that! The only downside was the wifi; being on the new side of the park, the signal was pretty poor, which was a bit frustrating."
"We loved staying at Whitecliff! Perfect spot to explore the Isle of Wight and well definitely be booking again next time we visit."

"The caravan was spotless and br and new, which was great. Towels and toiletries were provided, though it wouldve been helpful to know beforeh and."

A charity sanctuary for rescued exotic animals, set inside a Victorian fort opposite Sandown's Yaverland beach.
The Wildheart Animal Sanctuary, formerly the Isle of Wight Zoo, is a charity that rescues and protects exotic animals. It sits on Yaverland Road in Sandown, directly opposite the beach, inside the shell of Sandown Fort, which dates from 1864. Visitors walk round the enclosures to see rescued big cats, bears and lemurs, among other animals.
Tip: Pay for parking at the machine just outside the café, as the car park next to the sanctuary is privately run and the sanctuary can't appeal fines.

Ride restored Victorian and Edwardian steam carriages through 5½ miles of Isle of Wight countryside.
The Isle of Wight Steam Railway is a heritage line running through about 5½ miles of countryside from Smallbrook Junction to Wootton, calling at Havenstreet, where the station, headquarters and depot are. It is run largely by volunteers, and the carriages include restored examples built between 1864 and 1924. Several steam locomotives are in use, some well over 100 years old.
Tip: The railway doesn't run every day, so check its calendar before you go. A direct bus serves Havenstreet from Newport and Ryde.

A Norman fortress on the Isle of Wight where Charles I was held prisoner and donkeys still work the treadwheel.
Carisbrooke Castle is a historic motte-and-bailey fortress near Newport on the Isle of Wight. It began as an Anglo-Saxon earthwork defence against Viking raids, and the Normans later raised the shell keep on its towering mound. You can climb the keep for views, and walk the walls.

A 170-metre sail-shaped tower with a glass floor and 360-degree views over Portsmouth Harbour.
The Spinnaker Tower is a 170-metre landmark on Portsmouth Harbour, and one of the tallest accessible structures in the UK outside London. Two huge, sweeping white arcs give it the look of a sail billowing in the wind, a nod to Portsmouth's maritime history. Local people chose the design in a public poll.
Tip: Head for the glass floor on the first deck, and wrap up if you go up to the open-roofed Sky Deck.
