5-star historic island estate on the River Thames with a floating spa

Amenities

Monkey Island Estate offers a Floating Spa moored on the river, providing wellness treatments that rock gently on the water. The property has a fitness centre with brand new equipment, outdoor BBQ facilities, and a sun terrace overlooking the Thames. Guests also have access to a golf course nearby and a shared lounge/TV area in the historic buildings.

Rooms

The estate provides diverse room types including The Barn, Temple rooms, and the Wedgwood Suite, each with bespoke interior design. Rooms in The Barn are compact but feature Elemis bathroom products, complimentary mini-bar with soft drinks, and flat-screen TVs. The Temple Terrace rooms offer private balconies with river views, while Sundial Cottage is a three-bedroom retreat with its own garden.

Dining

The Monkey Island Brasserie serves British cuisine with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, using locally sourced ingredients. The Monkey Bar offers creative cocktails including the hotel's own Monkey Island G&T, alongside a small-bites menu. Afternoon tea is a particular highlight, served with warm scones and delicate finger sandwiches in a historic setting.

Location

Set on a private island in the River Thames, the hotel is reached exclusively by a pedestrian footbridge or by boat. Windsor Castle is 10 km away, Ascot Racecourse and Cliveden House are nearby, and London Heathrow Airport is 21 km from the property. The village of Bray, home to Michelin-starred restaurants such as The Fat Duck and Waterside Inn, is a 20-minute walk.
