Perched on a verdant hillside, The Somerville Hotel offers captivating panoramas across St Aubin's Bay. It provides a peaceful retreat with comfortable surroundings, ideal for those seeking a tranquil escape with memorable sea views. The hotel excels in offering a classic island experience.
The Somerville Hotel, a cornerstone of the Dolan Hotels collection, occupies an enviable position high above St Aubin's picture-postcard harbour. From this vantage point, many rooms gaze out over the sparkling waters of the bay towards the historic silhouette of Elizabeth Castle. Public spaces, including inviting lounges and a convivial bar, exude a relaxed four-star elegance. The hotel thoughtfully leverages its elevated setting, providing an outdoor pool and sun-drenched terrace that are particularly appealing on warmer days. Its restaurant, Tides, capitalises on the same spectacular outlook, serving a menu that frequently features fresh seafood and brasserie-style dishes. This establishment often appeals to couples seeking a romantic interlude, drawn by the promise of exceptional views.
Guests can anticipate a stay defined by compelling views, particularly from rooms facing the bay. Spend leisurely hours by the outdoor pool or on the expansive terrace, both offering uninterrupted vistas of St Aubin's harbour and beyond. Dining at Tides restaurant allows for a meal accompanied by the same stunning backdrop, with a focus on fresh, local flavours. Evenings might begin with a sundowner in the comfortable bar before a short, if steep, stroll down into the village of St Aubin for further exploration of its culinary offerings.
The Somerville Hotel is situated on Mont du Boulevard in St Aubin, a charming village on Jersey's south-west coast. It's easily accessible, though its hillside location means a gentle climb. The hotel overlooks the bustling harbour of St Aubin, which is replete with restaurants and small shops. A scenic downhill walk connects you directly to the village, offering opportunities for exploration.
While the walk down to St Aubin village is pleasant, be mindful that the return journey is a steep incline; a local taxi can be a sensible option after an evening out.
The hotel's charms are best appreciated during the warmer months, from late spring through early autumn, to take full advantage of the outdoor facilities and views.
The walk back up from the village is steep, so factor that in if mobility is a concern — a taxi back up after dinner is a popular option.
