With exclusive use of the full hotel and all our accommodations, you can relax knowing all your loved ones can spend quality time together in one place. Our exclusive use hire is 2 nights minimum (except permitted low-season midweek dates), giving you the chance to extend your wedding celebrations.

A Secret Suite Wedding is perfect for those couples who are looking for a smaller, more intimate wedding celebration. The secret suite is separate from the hotel, with a beautiful glazed wall overlooking the sea. The ceremony and drinks reception can be held in the suite giving you complete privacy. The wedding breakfast would be held on the private dining table just off the lounge in the main hotel. Our Secret Suite Weddings are suitable for a maximum of 24 guests, including the wedding couple.
