Overview
The Hythe Retreat
Welcome to The Hythe Retreat — a peaceful coastal escape where sea views, spa evenings and quiet moments above the shoreline come together beautifully.
Set on the hillside above Hythe, this unique retreat combines two stylish properties, giving you the perfect balance of shared time and personal space. It’s ideal for two couples travelling together, friends on a coastal break, or families who want to stay close while still having their own private retreat to unwind in.
From the moment you arrive, the views steal the show. Sitting high above the town, the retreat enjoys panoramic views across Hythe, the coastline and the open sea beyond. On clear days you may even spot France on the horizon, while sunsets paint the sky in soft coastal colours.
During the day, you might wander down into Hythe’s charming high street for coffee, stroll along the beach, or explore the surrounding Kent coast. Folkestone, Port Lympne Safari Park and the beautiful Romney Marsh are all within easy reach.
But what makes The Hythe Retreat truly special is the chance to slow down and relax in your own hillside sanctuary.
Guests staying here have access to the Hythe Spa, located on site. Each stay includes the opportunity to reserve up to two hours of spa use per night, where you can soak in the outdoor hot tub or unwind in the sauna while enjoying the sea air and coastal surroundings. Spa sessions are subject to availability, so please book in advance if you’d like to secure your preferred time.
Whether you're here for a romantic coastal escape, a relaxing break with friends, or simply to breathe in the sea air for a few days, The Hythe Retreat offers a calm, beautiful place to pause and recharge.

The Finer Details
Arriving at The Hythe Retreat feels like discovering your own private corner of the coast.
The retreat consists of two neighbouring properties, each with their own character, outdoor space and incredible views. Together they create a flexible space that’s perfect for small groups who want to spend time together but still enjoy their own privacy.
The Hideout offers a stylish cabin-style retreat with cosy interiors, a peaceful atmosphere and its own private garden. It’s the kind of place where you can curl up with a film, wake slowly with coffee while looking towards the sea, or step outside to enjoy the fresh coastal air.
Next door, The Bolt Hole is a cleverly designed coastal home spread across two levels. Upstairs, the bedroom looks out across the coastline with panoramic sea views that make mornings feel particularly special. The living space downstairs is bright and welcoming, with everything you need for relaxing evenings or preparing simple meals together.
Outside, both properties offer their own seating areas and garden spaces, creating quiet spots to enjoy breakfast, read a book or simply sit back and watch the ever-changing colours of the sea.
A highlight of staying here is access to the Hythe Spa, located on site. Guests can reserve up to two hours of spa access per night stayed, enjoying the outdoor hot tub and sauna in a peaceful setting overlooking the coast. Spa sessions are subject to availability, so booking ahead is recommended.
Despite the peaceful hillside setting, Hythe’s beach, canal walks and lively high street are only a short walk away, meaning everything you need for a relaxed seaside stay is close at hand.

A stunning location
Hythe
Hythe is one of Kent’s most quietly charming seaside towns — relaxed, welcoming and wonderfully scenic.
From The Hythe Retreat, you’re perfectly positioned to enjoy both the town and the wider Kent coastline. Sitting above Hythe, the retreat enjoys sweeping panoramic views across the sea and town below, yet the beach and high street are only a short walk away.
You can start your day wandering down into town for breakfast at one of the local cafés, browse independent shops along the historic high street, or take a peaceful stroll beside the Royal Military Canal — one of Hythe’s most picturesque walking routes.
The town’s shingle beach offers a quieter coastal experience than many seaside resorts. Long walks along the shoreline, sea air and open views across the Channel create the perfect setting for slowing down and switching off.
Hythe is also ideally placed for exploring the surrounding area. Just minutes away is the spectacular Port Lympne Safari Park, where guests can experience unforgettable wildlife encounters and breathtaking countryside views. The vibrant Harbour Arm in Folkestone is also nearby, offering restaurants, street food, galleries and coastal walks.
For those travelling to or from Europe, the Eurotunnel terminal is only a short drive away, making The Hythe Retreat an ideal stopover before or after a Channel crossing.
Whether you're here for spa evenings, sea views, coastal adventures or simply a few days of peace by the water, Hythe offers the perfect setting for a relaxed and memorable seaside escape.
