The Atlantic Hotel Jersey

Best for... cyclists and golfers

Built in the ’70s but inspired by the ’30s, the crisp, modern lines of this hotel are a contrast to the views of the ocean. Rooms are simple and comfortable, the ideal place to rest after exploring the island by bike. Golfers will be in heaven, too: the La Moye club is next door. What’s more, the restaurant is a seafood heaven. Rooms from £160; theatlantichotel.com
