Who's coming?

Romantic breaks, solo getaways, relaxing reunions, bustling family gatherings, special occasions, or larger meetings and conferences with a difference – whatever the meet-up, Watergate Bay has it covered.

Breaks together

Lazy breakfasts, beach strolls, sea view saunas and chatting for hours. From honeymoons to short but sweet retreats, explore Watergate Bay. 

For couples

For families

Wellies lined up by the door, getting amongst the elements, exploring Kids' Zone. From babies to grandparents, fresh new families to bigger broods, why not bring along the whole gang.

For families

Solo travellers

Breakfasts to set you up for beach rambles, and coastal walks. Yoga on the beach and a surf lesson in the elements. Feet up in the ocean room after a massage in Swim Club,  and as the sun sets, dine in one of our three restaurants. 

25% discount on our rooms if you are travelling solo.
