The Atlantic Hotel

A long-standing favourite of Jersey regulars, perched on the clifftop above St Ouen's Bay with uninterrupted views over Jersey's famous five-mile surf beach and the sunsets it's known for. Rooms are sleek and contemporary, with private terraces or balconies on many of the sea-facing suites, and the heated outdoor pool sits in a sheltered garden framed by pines. The Ocean Restaurant is the headline draw - tasting menus built around Jersey seafood and produce from the hotel's own kitchen garden, served in a glass-walled dining room that catches the evening light. It's a quiet, grown-up sort of luxury, well suited to couples and anyone marking a special occasion, with attentive but unfussy service throughout.

Seasonal opening - typically closed January/February; book the Ocean Restaurant well ahead, especially for window tables at sunset, and request a sea-facing room as garden-side rooms miss the view.

High-end. Check Booking.com for live rates.

Seasonal - check before you book.

10 minutes from the airport; taxi or rental car recommended.

Lift access; some sea-view rooms have steps to terraces.
