Eastbourne.

Tucked into Eastbourne's Little Chelsea quarter since 2017, Skylark leans hard on Sussex producers and never feels like it's trying too hard to prove it. The table locals actually book for their own birthdays.

Housed above the historic Tally Ho in the Old Town, steaks here are dry aged on the bone and grilled over genuine lump wood charcoal. A proper carnivorous night out, hand cut chips included.

All-day dining on Eastbourne's seafront, in the same family's hands since 1912. Natural daylight, sea views, and a menu that swaps between seafood and steak without missing a beat.

Locals call it “The White Palace.” Open since 1875, the only five-star resort on this stretch of coast, and once host to Churchill, Chaplin and a King of Greece.

Painted black against a row of magnolia neighbours, Port is an on-trend transformation of a townhouse B&B. Sea views, a Luna Bar mixologist, and not a hint of chintz.

Eight stylish en-suite rooms inside a beautifully refurbished Victorian townhouse, overlooking Devonshire Park in Eastbourne's cultural quarter. Small, considered, and quietly stylish.

An unhurried spa with sea views from the treatment rooms and a massage list long enough you'll genuinely have to think about it. Best booked for a weekday afternoon.

Eastbourne's leading day spa, by local reputation, not just its own marketing. Five-star treatments from experienced therapists, right in the centre of town.

A proper holistic menu, from full body brushing to Indian head massage, finished with a hydrating herbal tea. The kind of hour that resets everything.

Launch off the top of Beachy Head and get the view every clifftop walker is secretly jealous of. Tandem flights need zero experience, wind permitting.

Sporting, skeet and trap shooting set in the heart of East Sussex countryside. Friendly, fully instructed, and genuinely good for a proper away day.

A genuinely peaceful retreat from the town centre, home to everything from small sailing boats to proper luxury yachts. Watch the boats, or hire one yourself.

Floor-to-ceiling windows, a terrace that catches the last light over the water, and a cocktail list built for staying far longer than one drink.

Over 100 cocktails, mixed by managers trained in London's best bars. Loud, confident, and exactly where Eastbourne goes when it actually wants to dress up.

Traditional pub bones with genuine speakeasy vibes, live jazz most weekends. Bring something to dance to, because most nights end up that way regardless.
