St Helier is the natural base for most visitors to Jersey, offering a lively foodie scene, VAT free shopping and easy access to the rest of the island.
Families and beach lovers tend to head for St Brelade, home to one of Jersey’s best known bays and attractions like Corbière Lighthouse and the Valley Adventure Centre.
History enthusiasts often choose St Martin, close to sites such as Mont Orgueil Castle and Le Couperon Dolmen, or St Ouen, known for its wartime bunkers and military museum.
Hotels in St Helier range from smart budget options to five star spa properties with sea views, while St Brelade offers several beachfront choices with pools and family facilities.
St Martin and St Ouen tend to have fewer large hotels, so travellers drawn to these quieter areas may need to look further afield for a wider choice of rooms.
