Design & Leisure

The Cumberland Hotel - Oceana Collection is a 4-star deluxe hotel built in 1930s Art Deco style on Bournemouth's Eastcliff. The hotel was awarded 'Best Large Hotel 2018' by the Bournemouth Tourism Awards. Guests have full access to a seasonal outdoor heated pool with sea views and a lido deck, plus leisure facilities at two neighbouring hotels including an indoor pool, sauna, mini gym, and squash courts at Suncliff.

The hotel's Ventana Grand Café holds 2 AA Rosettes for its cuisine and serves dinner until 22:00 in summer. A discounted 3-course dinner can be booked with the reservation in advance. Children have special meal options, and the hotel also provides a coffee house on site and a snack bar by the pool.

The spa offers body treatments, facials, manicures, pedicures, waxing, and spa/wellness packages. Additionally, Suncliff's heated indoor pool, sauna, and fitness centre are open to Cumberland guests.

Family: Family rooms & kids' meal options

“The 1930s Art Deco design makes this hotel stand out, and I think the heated pool overlooking the sea is a genuine treat. With dining options ranging from casual to award-winning, there's something for everyone, and the ability to use the spa facilities at neighboring hotels elevates the experience. In my opinion, this could be an excellent choice for families or anyone wanting a beach holiday with a bit of style.”
