The Fig Tree Hotel, Shanklin

Exclusive hire: the whole hotel, just for your group

40 seconds: the hotel from the air, the Bridal Suite, the lounge bar and terrace, catering and our rooms.

When you take the whole hotel, it is yours and yours alone. We close the hotel to the public for your stay, and the team is there just for your group. It suits corporate retreats, intimate wedding receptions, birthdays, anniversaries, family gatherings, seminars and small local events. Read more about corporate retreats, weddings and celebrations on their own pages.

What is included

You have sole use of all rooms, the bar, the restaurant space and the facilities. The hotel is closed to the public for your stay, and the team is there just for your group. Breakfast is included for everyone.

From £3,995 per night

Prices start from £3,995 per night in low season, with all rooms booked and breakfast included. The price depends on the time of year, so we will give you a tailored quote when you enquire.

Who it suits

A whole-hotel buyout works well for corporate retreats, intimate wedding receptions, birthdays, anniversaries, family gatherings, seminars and small local events. If your group is smaller and you want a single private event rather than the whole hotel, a £100 deposit secures it. See our celebrations page for those.
