Haven Hotel  

Perched on the southern tip of the exclusive Sandbanks peninsula in Poole, this 4-star beachfront hotel overlooks Poole Bay, Brownsea Island and the Purbeck Hills. Direct access to seven miles of Blue Flag beaches and a short hop on the Shell Bay chain ferry puts the Isle of Purbeck and the Jurassic Coast within easy reach.

Eighty-four well-appointed rooms, many with balconies and sea or harbour views. Rooms come with LCD TVs, tea/coffee makers and private bathrooms with shower/tub combinations. Décor leans contemporary coastal with local touches, giving a relaxed yet stylish beach-hideaway vibe.

Unwind at the Haven Leisure Club with indoor and seasonal outdoor heated pools, a hydropool, three spa tubs, hot tub, sauna and steam room. The Massage Merit Spa offers massages, body treatments and facials. There’s a gym, outdoor tennis court, direct beach access, a poolside bar and a sunny terrace for alfresco lounging—perfect for sea-breeze mornings.

A dedicated conference centre and meeting rooms sit adjacent to the hotel, supported by a business centre and 24-hour front desk. Free self-parking and complimentary Wi‑Fi / high-speed internet keep meetings smooth and guests connected.

Two on-site restaurants serve everything from a complimentary full breakfast at the Peninsula Restaurant to fine dining at The Point, which offers ocean views and an alfresco terrace. Local flavors feature on the menu, and 24-hour room service plus a poolside bar keep snacks and drinks on demand.
