Ocean Beach Hotel & Spa

About Ocean Beach Hotel & Spa

Ocean Beach Hotel & Spa is one of the larger hotels on Bournemouth's East Cliff, a modern, beach-themed property with 131 rooms set above the sea a short walk from the pier and town centre. Part of the Oceana Collection, it is built around a full leisure offer rather than a purely boutique or period stay, aimed at families and groups as much as couples.

Rooms are decorated in a contemporary, rustic-beach style, with sea-view options on the higher and front-facing floors looking out over Poole Bay. The hotel's wellness facilities include both indoor and outdoor pools, a sauna, treatment rooms and a sunbathing terrace, giving guests plenty to do without leaving the building on a changeable day.

Food and drink options include a main restaurant and an on-site Italian cafe, along with a bar overlooking the sea, and the hotel regularly hosts events and functions alongside its leisure guests. Its scale means it can accommodate larger family groups and group bookings more easily than the smaller boutique hotels nearby.

It suits families and groups who want a seafront base with pools and spa facilities included, a short walk from the pier, Oceanarium and Lower Gardens, and who prioritise on-site leisure facilities over a strictly boutique atmosphere.
