The Sandbanks Hotel is a water's-edge hotel in Poole with three wedding suites and direct access onto a Blue Flag beach.
The Sandbanks Hotel stands on the water's edge at Sandbanks, Poole, in the south west of England. The first impression on arrival is the view, and the hotel is one of only a few in the country with direct access onto a Blue Flag beach. That position shapes the hotel as a wedding setting, with the sea close at hand and wide outlooks across the water.
Three separate wedding suites allow the hotel to host parties of different sizes, so a smaller gathering and a larger celebration can each be given a room that suits it. A wedding planner works with couples from the first conversation, alongside award-winning chefs and the management team, who help to shape the menus, the timings and the practical details of the day. The hotel is listed among exclusive-use venues and marquee suppliers as well as luxury wedding venues. Overnight guests have the beach, the water views and the three wedding suites all within the same property.
