Our Story
The Fig Tree Hotel began as a Victorian guesthouse, lovingly restored into a contemporary modern, peaceful, boutique retreat while keeping its welcoming spirit.
The Hotel was closed in 2019 and then brought back to life by Scottish sisters Wendy & Karen.
Today, the hotel is a modern, peaceful boutique retreat for people who love calm, comfort and genuine hospitality. With clean, spacious rooms and a relaxed atmosphere just minutes from Shanklin beach and the Old Village.
