The Isle of Wight has one of the UK’s most spectacular and diverse coastlines, and along its length, you’ll find a wealth of fascinating wildlife, natural beauty and places to explore. The West Wight remains rugged and unspoilt and is a favourite with fossil hunters searching for links with the Island’s rich prehistoric past. East Wight is best known for its miles of sandy beaches and seaside attractions and is perfect for family holidays where sun, sea and sand are the highest priority.

Isle of Wight Beaches
The Isle of Wight has 57 miles of coastline and contains some of the best beaches in the UK.

The latest TripAdvisor Review for Spectrum Breaks

1 week ago

The closest I’ve come to feeling human in a looooooong time!
Oh wow! I am torn about writing this review - families with members with autism deserve holidays too, but I also don’t want more competition for booking our return visits….however, altruism has won.

BOOK NOW! Honestly - I never thought we could have a holiday where I could relax a little but Spectrum Breaks does that - a 6ft fence around the garden with a maglock made my heart fly…and my kids took a looooong time to get past the swings and trampoline in the garden. Once I managed to get them inside, there were more treats - a sensory room with bubbles and bean bags (I’ve never been more pleased when my son had a meltdown and we had somewhere to go!), a computer room and a cinema area, a music room (my daughter trying the saxophone will stay with me for a loooong time), billiards and pool tables…an art room, a gym and a beautiful swimming pool - which is bookable for at least 1hr a day per apartment…so honestly, you don’t need to leave the complex…but if you do, it’s a hilly 10 minute walk to Shanklin, and there are loads of small attraction on the IOW, many of which do ‘7 day return tickets’…

So, that’s the outside, but inside the apartment was beyond my wildest dreams - it was luxury! The doors in our apartment were able to have locks fitted (perfect for little adventurers!), the en suite bathrooms had anti-flood alarms, and easy to use power showers, beautiful comfy beds, a laundry room, fully equipped kitchen (with an amazing magnet safety knife block which Hubby now wants), a dishwasher…the kitchen/lounge/diner was lovely and homely…for me, the fact that the furniture is from IKEA not only make my heart sing because I love it, but because it made me feel that if there were accidents, things were replaceable.
Sam, our point of contact for the weekend, was fantastic - nothing was too much trouble. The whole family were full of kindness - and such an inspiration. Thank you so so much to you all for reminding me that my family CAN have a holiday we all enjoy, but that doesn’t mean not leave one or more of us overwhelmed or exhausted!
