Monkey Island Estate redefines luxury in the heart of Bray-on-Thames. This historic retreat, part of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World, offers an enchanting escape on a private island in the River Thames. The estate's beautifully restored buildings blend 18th-century heritage with contemporary elegance, creating a uniquely refined atmosphere.
Guests can unwind in the state-of-the-art spa, cleverly housed in a moored barge on the river, offering treatments that draw inspiration from the property's storied past. The hotel's restaurant showcases the best of British cuisine, with ingredients sourced from local farms and the estate's own kitchen garden. Whether you're dining in the elegant indoor space or al fresco on the terrace overlooking the manicured gardens, each meal is a celebration of flavor and craftsmanship.
While Monkey Island Estate feels worlds away from the bustle of everyday life, it's conveniently located near some of England's most iconic attractions. Windsor Castle, Cliveden House, and Legoland are all a short drive away, making the hotel an ideal base for exploring the Royal County of Berkshire. At day's end, return to your luxurious room or suite, many of which offer stunning views of the river or gardens, and relish in the tranquil seclusion of your own private island retreat.
