| When you think of a great beach hotel, there is a good chance that holiday destinations such as Spain, the Caribbean or even France are high on your list of places to go. But for sunny beach hotels, the UK certainly has plenty to offer and all within a few hours' drive of your home. The UK can be underestimated when it comes to great beaches and the best hotels, but take a look at the following list to find the best beach hotels the UK has to offer. |

| Hotel Una in Brighton |
 |
| If you are into cool interiors and something a little bit stylish, then this hotel is for you. Each of the rooms is named after rivers of the world and utilise organic woods and materials to create a calm atmosphere. Each room even has its own piece of artwork. This place isn't necessarily designed for those who want a swimming pool and a buffet breakfast, but if you want to be close to the ocean and enjoy all that Brighton has to offer, Hotel Una can't be improved upon. |

| The Big Sleep in Eastbourne |
 |
| If you thought Eastbourne was just a sleepy coastal town, you need to think again. This hotel is part owned by the actor John Malkovich and offers great sea views. There are three Big Sleep hotels, but the one in Eastbourne has the beach on its doorstep. For families there are spacious rooms and those who like something a little bit stylish, this hotel ticks the boxes. It is even possible to enjoy a day on the beach and follow it up with a game of pool or table tennis in the games room. |

| The Pier Hotel in Essex |
 |
| If you want wonderful views of the quayside, then this hotel will not disappoint. With two seafood restaurants, taking advantage of what is on its doorstep, this hotel is New England in styling but typical British seaside in location. Built in the 1850s, the main hotel sits next to another building which dates back to the 1700s and boasts another seven rooms. If it is history you are looking for, you cannot go wrong with The Pier. |

| The Number One in Blackpool |
 |
| There was a time not so long ago, when Blackpool was the best destination if you wanted the fun of the seaside and a typical British seaside holiday. However, the reputation of this seaside town took a knock more recently and it is often regarded as a slightly tacky place to go on holiday. Well, not so now. Number One is certainly changing the face of Blackpool. This five-star hotel has 14 rooms and a restaurant with amazing views of the South Beach Promenade. There is nothing like a bit of luxury when it comes to a beach holiday and this hotel certainly provides that. |
 |
| It may not be easy to decide which is the best UK beach hotel, but these options will certainly give you some food for thought. It seems that luxury is the order of the day and UK hotels are a perfect example. |
