Soak up the last of the summer tango vibes in Shanklin, officially the UK's sunniest spot. Flavio de Brito and Matt Donovan bring carefully-crafted workshops, and we bring you great tango tunes from across the decades, including tangos from the modern orchestras as well as a splash of Nuevo and Alt, at the milongas and practicas. Inbetween events, the beach is a 1-minute walk and our beautiful hotel has a cute pool and a terrace overlooking the English Channel.
Easy to get to, Shanklin can be accessed by fastcat ( a fast boat with the company Wightlink) to Ryde then a fun train ride on an ex-London subway train.
Coming from London/Brighton /Southampton on the train? Buy a through return ticket which includes train and fastcat.
OR…come on the car ferry and drive - it’s a relaxed way to get here - free parking at our Hotel & ferry discounts available.
***Watch out for my upcoming video on the bijoux train connection from Ryde to Shanklin…
