The Harbour Beach Club Hotel and Spa
Opened in 2022, the Harbour Beach Club reimagines luxury coastal living on South Sands. With sleek modern design, spa facilities, and a waterfront restaurant and bar, it offers a distinctly contemporary retreat.
The Setting & Style
Built with a curved, larch-clad façade to maximize sea views, the hotel ensures many rooms overlook the cove and estuary. Much of the design leans into a relaxed, beachy luxury — light woods, glass, and an easy flow between indoor and outdoor spaces.
Accommodation & Views
There are 50 rooms and suites, many with sea-facing views and balconies — perfect for enjoying morning light or evening calm.
Guests frequently mention the views as a standout:
“I could have stared at the view of South Sands beach for the entirety of my stay …” Country and Town House

Spa, Pool & Wellness
Spa, pool and wellness offerings are central to the Harbour Beach Club experience. The indoor pool, hydrotherapy features, sauna/steam, and spa treatments (Temple Spa among them) are popular amenities.
