A NEW luxury coastal resort is to open in St Helens.

Aria Resorts is opening a new resort, St Helens Coastal Resort, in May 2019. It will offer a unique collection of lodges and modern caravans, with a laidback licensed eatery, a pool, and easy access to the iconic beauty spots of Priory Bay beach and The Duver.

The secluded retreat will include sophisticated three bedroom premium lodges with hot tubs and private roof terraces from which to enjoy the sea views.

Complementing the range of lodges, there are contemporary two and three bedroom superior caravans. Some offer the option of a hot tub and all have a spacious open plan living area with a comfortable corner sofa and flame effect fireplace.

Aria Resorts is promoting St Helens Coastal Resort as a quiet, luxurious retreat — a world away from other Island holiday resorts.

Prices will start at £135 for a four-night midweek break with up to six guests in a superior caravan and £234 for a two-bedroom superior lodge.

Aria Resorts' head of commercial operations, Les Robertson, said: "The brand-new luxury lodges and caravans at St Helens Coastal Resort will offer a beautiful space to unwind and spend quality time together, either as a family or a couple.

"Its excellent location, just three hours from London, makes it ideal for anyone who wants to replace the busy cityscape with secluded countryside luxury.

"With so many things happening on the Isle of Wight, we are delighted to be opening this resort next summer and to be adding to the quickly growing Aria family."

The lodges and caravans are available to book at www.ariaresorts.co.uk for holidays from May 3, 2019.

Holiday homes including lodges with roof terrace and sea views are also available to purchase, with prices ranging from £49,950 to £250,000. For more information visit ariaresortshomes.co.uk.

St Helens Coastal Resort is one of eight Aria Resorts in the UK and joins Rookley Park, The Bay Colwell and Priory Bay Hotel (reopening in 2020) to be the company's fourth resort on the Island.
