Why Choose Dorset for a Hot Tub Break?
A hot tub holiday in Dorset offers a unique blend of dramatic coastline and peaceful countryside. It is home to the Jurassic Coast, England's only natural UNESCO World Heritage Site, where 185 million years of history are locked in the cliffs.
Away from the spectacular beaches like Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove, the inland countryside offers a slower pace of life. It is a landscape of ancient hill forts, thatched villages, and market towns that feels refreshingly untouched. Soaking in a hot tub here means enjoying some of the darkest skies and most tranquil surroundings in the South West.
Dorset is a jewel of South West England. Explore more hot tub lodges in South West England.

Can I find fossils in Dorset?
Yes, the Jurassic Coast is famous for them. The best places to look are Charmouth and Lyme Regis. It is a thrilling activity for all ages, but always remember to stay safe, keep away from the cliffs, and check tide times.
