Hospitality
re-awakened
The sand between your toes. Sky and beach as far as your eyes can see. Wonderful food made with love. Deeply comfortable beds. Beautiful rooms and a team that are here to make you smile. All these things in abundance. But something new and different too.
An invitation to find inspiration here. Through daily yoga, talks and workshops with experts in food, creative practices and more.
So not just hotel business as usual, but a chance to learn new things with a handful of new people and leave not only happy, but inspired.
The re-awakened Gallivant is open for the exclusive use of our overnight guests, our Members and their friends.
We are always looking for optimistic people to join our team and offer ground breaking benefits and £1,000 for all successful introductions. See our industry leading Gallivant Wellness Employment Charter.
A blast of fresh air. A breathtaking beach. An exquisitely simple lunch or dinner. Only bettered by sinking into a sensational bed, in a beautifully thought out room. Our bed linen has a seriously high thread count. Sweet dreams.
The Gallivant is spacious and comfortable. For all our team and guests to feel safe and relaxed we need to keep numbers lower. That’s one of the reasons we are now only open for overnight guests, our Members and their friends. This makes physical distancing easy to apply. No pressure on space, no pressure on you.
Keeping numbers low also means we can focus our time and effort on the important things – like keeping things scrupulously cleaner and ensuring our team follow best in industry hygiene practices.
Wonderful food made with love. A celebration of where we are and what we believe in. Seafood straight from the shore, produce from the surrounding countryside and outstanding English wine.
We are open for overnight guests, Members and their friends.
Enjoy more than a great stay. Enjoy an enriching experience. Our mission is simple: we want you to leave us inspired.
Experience classes are free for overnight guests and Full Members
Come and stay with us. Not just to escape, but to remember. Just over an hour from London and you’re in another world. A stone’s throw from Camber Sands’ sensational beach. Wide skies, salt-laced air. The feeling of time stretching, not rushing. Life in the moment.
Romantic weddings, beachside get togethers for family and friends, or corporate events with a difference – come and gather at the Gallivant.
Our Gallivant – your home from home. Turn up when you like for a coffee, a drink or just a quiet read.
Book lunch or dinner and invite a few friends. Enjoy a massage or facial in our mini spa.
Take part in an Experience class in the Summer House or on the beach.

Yes, but we only allow smallish dogs, so nothing bigger than a spaniel please. They are allowed in the bar area and in three of our bedrooms but please never on any furniture. They are also allowed on the beach all year round but in the summer only to the right hand side of the beach as you walk onto it from in front of us.
