An Islander’s Guide

AT AIRWAYS, WE’RE BASED IN THE CHANNEL ISLANDS...

and have the privilege of living in a place of incredible beauty, peace and fun. We love our lush countryside as much as our white beaches, wild cliffs and hidden coves. We enjoy nothing more than spending time in the fresh air surrounded by the changing flora and fauna throughout the seasons.

Our land and our seas are rich and plentiful, providing us with an insatiable appetite for food and all this is waiting to be discovered in our restaurants, tearooms and markets.

Come, let us share it with you.

FRESH FRIDAYS

We love the unbeatable freshness of our local produce. Stock up in St Peter Port Market Square with fresh fish, vegetables, chutneys and cakes and don’t forget to catch up on the latest gossip.

SPA DAY AT ST PIERRE PARK

Islanders like a slow pace and a bit of pampering. Take a leaf out of our book and take time out at the indulgent new facilities at St Pierre Park.

RENOIR’S MOULIN HUET

Play and pose as the models did for Auguste Renoir in 1883. To deserve the view though, you’ll need to climb down to sea level and back up – the tearooms provide a welcome break.

AFTERNOON TEA AT OLD GOVERNMENT HOUSE Thick Guernsey cream with scones, delicate sandwiches and cakes as pretty as a picture; afternoon teas are a true island tradition splendidly delivered on any occasion by our beloved 5* OGH. 4

SURFING VAZON BAY

There’s nothing better to wake you up on a weekend than the wind in your hair and the waves at your feet. Hire boards and get wet and wild at Vazon Bay.

SUNSET FISH & CHIPS AT COBO BAY

Facing west and simply one of the island’s most treasured spots, Cobo Bay is where we relax at the end of the day with fish and chips from Cobo Fish Bar and sunsets to die for.
