Waves is the perfect place for a coastal escape, just 100 steps from Vazon Bay. A family-run complex of beachside self-catering apartments, it's a home away from home in Guernsey, where you can enjoy island life like a local, with all the support of a hotel. Waves is under new management, operated by returning local Ed Benfield and his family.
You can enjoy an extra night for free at Waves when you book a week-long break in August. Add the code 'WAVESPROMO12' to the notes when you book.

Explore Vazon Bay
A long crescent of golden sand just seconds from the apartments, Vazon bathes in sunshine from sunrise to sunset.
A very popular family beach, the bay is also Guernsey’s premier surfing location. Excellent for every kind of water adventure, including swimming, paddle boarding, snorkelling, windsurfing, kitesurfing and sea kayaking; Vazon will keep the whole family occupied from dawn to dusk.
Whether you want to lounge at the beach, wander along the coast or enjoy local food and drink with a view, there’s so much to do in the local area and beyond. Spend a day exploring before relaxing on your deck or balcony with views of the sea and countryside surrounding Waves as the sun goes down.
During your stay you can:
- Try wild swimming in the bay. Vazon offers you the chance to try a longer swim (if you are confident) in a relatively shallow bay at high tide.
- Take a class with Guernsey Surf School or Shore Thing.
- Hire a paddleboard from Outdoor Guernsey or Go Guernsey Land and Sea.
- Join a kayak tour and explore the cliffs and marine environments.
- Borrow a bodyboard from Waves and enjoy the surf.
- Visit Fort Hommet and walk through history, or take a guided tour with Tours of Guernsey.
- Explore the nearby nature reserves at L’Eree and Lihou Island.
- Hire bikes and discover all of our west coast beaches.
- Grab a coffee and lunch at Vistas.
- Head inland for a great pub dinner at Fleur du Jardin.
- Head to Port Soif for a Seaweed Foraging Tour - great for learning with kids.
- Stroll down through Vazon, Richmond and L’Eree to see Fort Saumarez and Fort Grey.
- Enjoy a beach BBQ down on Vazon Bay.
- Discover Guernsey’s magical Fairy Ring (Table des Pions).
However you choose to spend your time here, Guernsey is a safe welcoming place, perfect for a break away from it all.
Guernsey, Vazon and the nearby area have a special place in the hearts of the Waves team, with many growing up just minutes around the corner. You’ll also find Ed living around the site to support you during your stay, with his children ensuring all the free beach gear is fully kid-approved.
A Self-Catering Adventure
At Waves, you will find everything you need for a self-catering holiday in Guernsey, with apartments and studios that sleep between one and ten people, ideal for a family holiday. Each apartment is named after local landmarks and areas that you can discover on your visit, and multiple rooms can be combined in one booking to suit your needs.
Comfortable and cosy, the apartments come fully furnished with everything you need for a short getaway including free WiFi, a kitchen, linens, TVs, dishwashers and relaxed living areas. In larger suites there are also laundry facilities to help reduce your packing and that post-holiday washing pile. An onsite laundry room is available for guests at all times.
Whether you’re preparing breakfast in bed, snacks for a hike or burgers for your beach barbecue, you’ll find all the essentials you need in your kitchen. Locally, you can visit the Cobo Butchers, Cobo Bay tearooms and explore the nearby 'hedge veg' stalls for homemade produce to use during your stay.
To make your family trip easy and relaxed, Waves also provides baby items, cots and highchairs, and can also lend you toys and help find a babysitter. Just let them know what you need when you book!
For those wishing to travel with four-legged friends, dogs are welcome in a range of Waves’ ground-floor suites, so the whole family can holiday together.
Whether you’re visiting for a quick island getaway or joining us for an extended visit, you’ll find a warm welcome at Waves. With no set changeover days, the team can be flexible around your travel plans. As a managed facility there is always someone on hand to help, even while you enjoy the independence of a self-catering apartment.
When you book for a week-long getaway this August, you can enjoy one night extra for free. Add in the code ‘WAVESPROMO12’ in the notes when you book to take advantage of the offer.
