Medina Rise Lodge | Peaceful Coastal Retreat with Solent Views & Beach Walks
Wake to birdsong, unwind with breathtaking countryside views and discover the quieter side of the Isle of Wight.
Perched in an elevated position at peaceful Thorness Bay, Medina Rise Lodge is a welcoming coastal retreat where life naturally slows down.

A peaceful location you’ll want to return to.
Set within the tranquil surroundings of Thorness Bay Holiday Park, the lodge enjoys one of the island’s most peaceful locations. A scenic footpath leads directly to Thorness Bay, a beautiful two-mile stretch of coastline designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), renowned for its wildlife, fascinating geology and spectacular sunsets across the Solent.
Unlike many of the island’s busier beaches, Thorness Bay offers space to breathe. It’s perfect for peaceful walks, paddling, beachcombing, fossil hunting or simply sitting with a picnic while watching boats pass across the water.

Your favourite place may become the deck
One of Medina Rise Lodge’s greatest pleasures is simply spending time outside.
