Frequently asked questions

How much does a beach hotel in Saint Helena Island cost?
Prices for beach hotels in Saint Helena Island vary, but you can find a great deal from £70 on Expedia. You're likely to find lower rates if you're travelling during the off-peak season or mid-week. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
Which area of Saint Helena Island is best to stay in for beaches?
For those seeking a beach-focused stay on Saint Helena Island, the best area is the Fripp Island community.

Fripp Island is a private, gated community on the easternmost tip of Saint Helena Island, known for its extensive shoreline. The island is primarily residential, with many holiday rentals ranging from villas to larger homes, most offering direct access to the beach or being a short walk away. The main road, Fripp Island Road, runs the length of the island, connecting various amenities.

Couples looking for a relaxing beach holiday will find Fripp Island ideal. The uncrowded beaches provide a tranquil setting for walks, sunbathing, and enjoying the natural beauty. There are also opportunities for kayaking and paddleboarding in the calmer waters.

Families often gravitate towards Fripp Island due to its dedicated facilities. Beyond the beach, the community offers several swimming pools, tennis courts, and organised activities for children during peak seasons.
What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in Saint Helena Island?
The most popular time to stay in a beach hotel on Saint Helena Island is during the summer months, particularly July and August. The weather is beautifully warm, with average temperatures ranging from 27°C to 32°C, making it great for enjoying the beaches, swimming, and water sports. These months offer extended daylight hours, ideal for leisurely strolls along the shore or exploring the island's natural beauty. All beachside amenities and activities are in full swing, ensuring a lively and engaging holiday for families and couples alike.

As another option, May is another excellent time to visit. The weather is still wonderfully warm, with temperatures typically between 24°C and 28°C, which is fantastic for beach activities and outdoor exploration without the peak summer intensity. During May, you may find better value on beach hotel rates and it can be easier to secure reservations at popular restaurants or for specific tours.
How can I save on a beach hotel in Saint Helena Island with Expedia?
One Key™ —Expedia's free travel rewards programme—gives you instant access to perks and Member Prices on Saint Helena Island beach hotels. Plus, you'll earn OneKeyCash™* on eligible bookings to use on future trips. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on your hotel booking.

What beach activities should we do in Saint Helena Island?
The best beach activities on Saint Helena Island revolve around its natural beauty and wildlife, with excellent options for exploring the coast and observing local ecosystems.

For those looking to connect with nature, kayaking or paddleboarding through the salt marshes is a fantastic experience. You can rent equipment locally and navigate the calm waters, often spotting various birds and marine life in their natural habitats. This is particularly appealing for couples or families who enjoy outdoor adventures together.

Families with children will find the expansive, quiet beaches great for shell collecting and building sandcastles. Hunting for shark teeth is a popular and rewarding activity here, providing a unique souvenir. Many beaches on the island also offer gentle waves, making them suitable for younger swimmers under supervision.

Boat tours are another excellent way to experience the island's coastal environment. These tours often focus on dolphin watching, which is a memorable sight for all ages, or they can take you to more secluded sandbars for a truly private beach experience.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Saint Helena Island as a package?
Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking a beach vacation package well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Saint Helena Island for you.
