Steve Walker | #MyJerseyFive

Head Chef, Steve Walker, gives his top 5 recommendations for Winter in Jersey…

1. Visit El Tico & take a walk along St Ouens Bay

El Tico is an Island favourite – a real Insta opportunity! Cosy surroundings inside with views out to sea! On a milder day you can still sit outside (they even provide blankets!)

Steve likes to pair his visit to El Tico with a long walk along St Ouens Bay, situated on the famous ‘Five Mile Road’ – miles of long sandy beach! Nothing better than breathing in that fresh sea air!

2. Visit Gorey Castle

Even in the Winter – Gorey Castle is open for exploration. Ideal for a family day out. Find out about Jersey’s history.

3. Visit Jersey Zoo

Plenty of fun all year round! At Christmas time you can even watch the Gorillas and Orang-utans open their presents!

4. Visit Corbiere Lighthouse

Take a walk around Corbiere Lighthouse – watch the waves crash into the rocks and take in the sea views!

5. Shopping in King Street

Enjoy the festive spirit of St Helier at Christmas time with a selection of High Street stores and Local boutiques. If you visiting in the New Year then make the most of the January Sales!

DJ Live

What a fantastic night for our first DJ Live in The Drift on Saturday 9th December 2017.

Electrifying live sax, percussion and DJ set. Check out the highlights:

Festive Fun at The Yacht

It was an absolutely fantastic evening for the annual Christmas Light Switch On!

We were joined by the talented choir from St George’s Preparatory School, who sung from Sirocco Balcony, much to the crowds delight! The turn out was fantastic and everyone was enjoying the Choir, Mince Pies and the Mulled Wine of course!

A big thank you to everyone who came down to make it a truly magical evening! You watch watch the highlights here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZu9-f91z9Y&t=1s

Watch with glistening eyes when Father Christmas joins us on Thursday 23rd November for the big Christmas Light Switch On at the Weighbridge!

Enjoy our complimentary Mulled Wine and Mince Pies from 5.30pm whilst the lovely choir from St George’s Preparatory School will be singing from Sirocco balcony.

The Ultimate Festival Weekender

So you like festivals? You love the music? But … you hate camping!

Well The Weekender Festival in Jersey sounds like the right festival for you! In September, blogger Kara from Heels in My Backpack came over to visit for the festival. Staying with us at The Royal Yacht, she expresses that she “could get used” to this kind of festival lifestyle. Head out to the Weekender all day and come back to the luxury of The Royal Yacht Hotel!

Kara also had the chance to explore the Island whilst she was here and one thing she noted was how very friendly the Islanders are, saying “I found everyone I spoke to in Jersey just so lovely”. This was also the case for “the bar staff, waiters and hotel receptionists we spoke to and I just came away with a really good impression of Islanders”.

Speaking about her hotel room, at The Royal Yacht, Kara said “We had a wonderfully large room with a big balcony overlooking the water and it was just heaven.”
