Virgin Holidays View
This lovely hotel sits on its own 100-acre peninsula at the southeast point of the island, just a 5-min drive from Nelson's Dockyard with its historical buildings, museum and bars. There are 2 beaches, one of them for water sports and the other enjoying refreshing ocean breezes, making it perfect for sunbathing. If you're a tennis fan, this is a great place to come - 6 tennis courts are available for guests and there's a tennis pro available for coaching*. The kids' club is excellent with lots of different activities - and it's open until 10.00pm, meaning you can enjoy a romantic meal for 2 at one of the lovely restaurants. Most fêted of these is Piccolo Mondo, up on the hillside, while the attractive waterside Docksider does a mean steak in candlelit, alfresco surrounds.
