Room information

All 5 individually appointed bedrooms benefit from large windows that are characteristic of a Victorian villa and which ensure each room enjoys a considerable amount of natural light and an airy feel.

Area information

With a climate that belongs much further south, Torquay is a place to relax, soak up the atmosphere and take in the scenery; watch the world go by from the pavement cafes and restaurants around the lively harbour and marina; enjoy a gentle stroll along the palm-lined promenade and through the award winning public parks and gardens. You will find an abundance of shops, restaurants and nightlife that will cater to everyone’s taste.

Within minutes of the town centre there are some of the best beaches in the West Country where you can relax and soak-up the sun. Several of the beaches hold coveted awards for cleanliness and water quality. If you prefer something a little more energetic than a gentle swim, there are opportunities for surfing, diving, sailing and angling.

If you enjoy walking, a coastal path runs along all 22 miles of coastline around the bay and offers excellent routes at varied levels with spectacular sea views and an exotic range of flora and fauna.

One of the many advantages of staying at Villa Marina is the easy access to the excellent public transport system. You can visit the most popular areas, towns and villages and our wonderful local attractions without the need for a car.
