Welcome to the lovely island of Alderney! If you are looking for total relaxation, a place to wind down at
your own pace and leisure a little oasis where time doesn’t count but where
quality of life, hospitality and gastronomy are all-important, you’ve just
found it:
Alderney, the third largest of the Channel Islands, has
pledged allegiance to the English Crown for close on 1,000 years and is
frequently described as the most British of the Channel Islands. Yet,
Alderney (Aurigny in French) has a distinctly French flavour which is not
surprising: the island’s closest neighbour, France, is only 8 miles away.
Alderney offers the perfect ingredients for a short or long holiday, at
any time of the year. Here you will find a choice of cosy, privately-owned
hotels, friendly guest houses and pleasant holiday homes and a
uniquely-positioned camp site - Click here

something going on in Alderney. Amazingly, this little island boasts over
thirty social,
sporting and cultural clubs and associations who between them provide a
busy diary of events throughout the year, many of which welcome visitor
members.
Alderney is an island for every season - whatever the weather. There is
something for everyone every week of the year. Wonderful walks, rough
pathways across the common and the long, rugged cliffs, excellent golf and
great tennis. Go to our Leisure Activities Page. Click here
Golden, sandy and blissfully uncrowded beaches, the pretty
town of St. Anne’s, the beautiful, quiet beaches, and an abundance of flora,
fauna and wildlife, wild pheasants, black rabbits and blonde, yes blonde,
hedgehogs, and much more….
Unlike the other Channel Islands, Alderney as not been
affected by mainstream tourism. That’s what makes Alderney so special and
that’s probably the reason why such a large number of visitors come back to
Alderney, year after year, for more.
