Summer on Tresco

Time to be spoilt. With a short flight yet scenery that doesn’t seem to be of this country. With deserted beaches in the middle of August. With long days bookended by epic sunrises and sunsets. With all the island-hopping, clear-water kayaking, peaceful paddleboarding possibilities.

Abbey Garden G&T Evening Tours

As the warm evening sun bathes our island garden in a golden hue, join our experienced gardeners on a captivating tour of the breathtakingly beautiful sanctuary of Tresco Abbey Garden after the gates have closed.

Summer on the islands is unbeatable – think supper pop-ups, open-air theatre, cocktail-fuelled afternoons spent on the Ruin terrace.

A sense of freedom that’s hard to find elsewhere – of doing a little bit of everything or nothing at all. Embrace the best of Tresco with an island summer.
