10 Best Isle Of Wight Hot Tub Holidays - Glamping, Cottages And Lodges With Hot Tubs 2022

Why wouldn't you want an Isle of Wight hot tub holiday? Not only do you get the glorious novelty of having a bubbly bath outdoors but you also have the freedom to break wind without anyone noticing. And you get to hold a champagne flute whilst saying things like "ahhhhhhhh, this is the life" and "well, this is very civilised isn't it?".

We've chosen 10 of the best Isle of Wight hot tub holidays including glamping holidays with hot tubs, self catering cottages with private hot tubs and luxury lodges with hot tubs.

For our price comparison, we looked for the cheapest accommodation available with a private hot tub or jacuzzi for a week in early August 2022. Bear in mind that some of the accommodation is for couples or families of four, whilst some is for a party of 16 people so the price isn't really comparable.

There are generally cheaper options at holiday parks if you want accommodation without a hot tub, but why are you looking at an Isle of Wight hot tub holiday guide if it's not an absolute holiday essential? Honestly, some people...

1. Woodside Bay Lodge Retreat and Woodside Coastal Retreat (beachside lodges on large holiday park)

There are two posh holiday lodge parks next door to each other in Wootton, which is on the north east side of the Isle of Wight. Woodside Coastal Retreat and Woodside Bay Lodge Retreat are owned by the same company and both have hot tubs included with several of their lodges.

​They both get great reviews from customers of about 8.5 or 9/10 on average. If you want a sea view then Woodside Coastal Retreat is your best bet, whilst Woodside Bay Lodge Retreat has slightly newer lodges (including some rather cool treehouses) and is much closer to the restaurant and gym. There isn't a swimming pool onsite, but Ryde isn't far away and it has a rather nice community-run pool with a retractable roof which opens up on warmer days.

The beach at the park is shingly rather than sandy, so you won't be building sandcastles but it is ideal for an early morning stroll when you'll start plotting how you can rearrange your life so you can live by the sea.

Fact fans will like to know that the two parks are around the site where Bob Dylan famously came out of exile to perform in front of 150,000 people at the 1969 Isle of Wight Festival.

Price: £2505 for a two bedroom lodge with a hot tub at Woodside Bay Lodge Retreat for a family of four for a week in August 2022. Woodside Coastal Retreat was more expensive at £2669 but I'd check both prices as it depends on availability.

2. Whitecliff Bay Holiday Park (busy, family-friendly beachside holiday park)

​**Whitecliff Bay Promo Code: Save up to 10% with discount code IOWG10 via this link, until 31/12/22**
Whitecliff Bay Holiday Park is a good one to choose for an Isle of Wight hot tub holiday if you want endless onsite entertainment and direct access to a sandy beach. For those who don't religiously follow Shane Richie's career, you may also like to know that this is the holiday park featured in a Channel 5 programme called 'Caravanning with Shane Richie'. 

They offer hut tubs with several of their chalets and lodges and they come with the added bonus of booking the Isle of Wight ferry for you at a considerable discount (sometimes half price when I've done some test searches). 

The park itself has lots for children to do including indoor and outdoor swimming pools, an onsite restaurant, indoor soft play, an outdoor playground, minigolf, an amusement arcade and evening entertainment. They also do outdoor cinema in the summer.

The beach at Whitecliff Bay is sandy and idyllic (apart from the freezing cold seawater) but it does have a ridiculously steep slope leading down to it which requires perseverance and a can-do attitude.

Whitecliff Bay is in the East Wight, just outside of posh Bembridge and not too far from the bucket and spade resorts of Sandown and Shanklin. The famous sands of Alum Bay and the Needles lighthouse are an hour's drive away on the other side of the Island, which is the Isle of Wight equivalent of driving from Land's End to John O'Groats. Don't tell any locals if you attempt that journey, they'll think you've lost the plot and will tell you to put a shovel and blankets in the car even if it's August.

Price: £2675 for a week in a 'Rockstar' lodge with a private hot tub for a week in early August 2022 for a family of four. We found it was much cheaper to arrive on a Friday than a Saturday (and the ferry is usually a bit cheaper on Fridays too).

​
​Also consider: Parkdean Resorts Landguard Holiday Park and Lower Hyde are sister parks in Shanklin which offer a similar mix of lodges with hot tubs, caravans, swimming pools and kids' entertainment.

3. The Bay, Colwell (holiday cottages with hot tubs, sleep 4-6)

​**The Bay Colwell Promo Code: Save up to 10% with discount code IOWG10 via this link until 31/12/22**
There are several small holiday cottages with hot tubs to choose from at The Bay, Colwell which is run by Away Resorts. It's got a communal indoor swimming pool, small restaurant, soft play and tennis court. It averages 8/10 from reviewers.

The local beach at Colwell doesn't have a lot of sand at high tide but it's a popular spot for families. It's also home to a trendy restaurant called The Hut which is popular with people who have Instagram accounts overflowing with photos of sunsets and cupcakes.

The West Wight is the sleepier and (in my opinion) the prettier side of the Isle of Wight. It's not very convenient for busy resorts like Sandown and Shanklin but it's close to some of my favourite spots such as Freshwater Bay or Compton Bay and it's also close to The Needles and Alum Bay.

The cottages sleep between 4 and 6 people. 

Price: 
£2016
 for a family of four staying in a cottage with a hot tub for a week in August 2022.

4. The Lakes, Rookley (holiday lodge park with hot tubs)

**The Lakes Promo Code: Save up to 10% with discount code IOWG10 via this link until 31/12/22*
If you don't mind being inland, then you might consider The Lakes, Rookley which has a mix of caravans, cottages and posh 'lakehouses' which are a bit like lodges. Some of the cottages and caravans come with private hot tubs.

It scores about 8/10 on review sites. In a former life it was Rookley Country Park but it's had a few upgrades in the last couple of years.

It's got indoor and outdoor swimming pools, evening entertainment, kayaking on the lakes and a restaurant (described as an 'eatery' which Mrs Guru tells me is more casual than a restaurant).

The advantage of its location on a modestly sized Island is that you can't travel for more than about 25 minutes without driving into the sea. If you want to see a lot of the Isle of Wight, it's a good option.

Price: £1969 for a 'premium' cottage with a hot tub for a family of four for a week in August 2022.

5. St. Helen's Holiday Resort (lodge park, 15 minute walk to the beach)

**St Helen's Promo Code: Save up to 10% with discount code IOWG10 via this link, until 31/12/22**
St Helen's Holiday Resort isn't as close to the beach as Woodside Coastal and Woodside Bay and it doesn't have the same sea views but it has the added advantage of offering a simple outdoor swimming pool (which is heated thankfully).

The beaches are about 15 minutes walk with local options including St Helen's and Priory Bay, both of which are favourites of mine. They offer shallow water for paddling and nice views across to Portsmouth. St Helen's has a water sports place called Tackt-Isle where you can hire kayaks and paddleboards.
​​
St Helen's Holiday Resort was previously called St Helen's Coastal Park, but the new name is more accurate. It's been upgraded over the last couple of years with new lodges with hot tubs being built. It doesn't offer an abundance of activities, but customer reviews average 9/10

Price: £1547 for a week in a caravan with a hot tub for a family of four in August 2022.

6. Buttercup Barn Retreat (self catering/Glamping with hot tub for couples)

Buttercup Barn Retreats in Wootton are ideal for couples looking for a romantic hot tub holiday (wink wink, nudge nudge etc.). 

It's described as Glamping, but they're somewhat fancier than a tent with a mattress on the floor. There's a proper kitchen, bed and shower as well as countryside views you can enjoy from your hot tub. 

There's more than one at the site but don't worry, you won't be sharing a hot tub with your neighbours...

...and three of them come with hot tubs
There ​are several self-catering cottages to rent at Rossiter's Vineyard Barn which is in a mega-quiet inland part of the West Wight. Three of the cottages come with private hot tubs - Dornfelder, Madeline Angevine and Rondo (they're named after grapes, in case you're curious).

They sleep between 4 and 6 people, and you could obviously rent out two or three of them if you'd rather not share a hot tub with Aunt Maude and Uncle Cecil. The barns are nice and modern with lots of very positive reviews at the time of writing. They're also dog friendly holiday cottages. 

Price: £2059 for a two bedroom cottage with a hot tub for a family of four for a week in August 2022.

...and they come with wood-fired lodges
If you want a proper glamping and hot tub experience on the Isle of Wight then Tom's Eco Lodges are probably your best bet. They're on the same site as the Isle of Wight Aqua Park, Tapnell Manor and Tapnell Farm Park, where we've wasted many hours on the go-karts and soft play. 

As far as I can tell, two of the five tents come with hot tubs so make sure you book the right one or you might end up looking enviously at your next door neighbours whilst they sip on the prosecco. The hot tub is wood-fired to add to the authentic outdoorsy feel.

Price: £2011 for a week in late August 2022. It sleeps up to 8 people. Early August was fully booked when we checked.

9. Kingston Manor (Self catering with a hot tub, sleeps 16)

Kingston Manor
The hot tub isn't an original feature but was added later...
This Grade II listed, 8 bedroom manor house in the South Wight comes with a hot tub, although I would advise against trying to squeeze all 16 members of your family in at the same time. The inside is grand, to say the least, with open fires and two dining areas. The one described as 'The Little Dining Room' is larger than most flats in London.

It's got 15 acres of land and allows pets, so you can bring the whole gang along.

Price: £6864 for a week in August 2021. Obviously that's a lot for a family of four, but if you can fill it up with 16 relatives then it works out as about £60 per person, per night which is pretty decent value. (2022 unavailable at time of writing)

10. Gladice's Barn (self catering for 14 people with hot tub)

...and it's got a slick modern interior
Here's another Isle of Wight cottage to consider if you want a big family gathering with a hot tub. Gladice's Barn has seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms and is in a very rural and picturesque spot in the South Wight. It's certainly not one for those who want to be in the thick of the action, but then you probably shouldn't be considering an Isle of Wight holiday if you're after a faster pace of life...

It has distant seaviews from the hot tub and a really modern decor with shiny floors which look perfect for sliding around in your socks. It's a little bit of a drive to, well, anything but you can visit my favourite beach - Compton Bay - if you drive for 15 minutes. Alternatively, head to Ventnor for an evening meal on the seafront.

Price: £6235 for a week in August 2022, which is £63 per person, per night if you fill it up.
