Retire to an island that's packed with rural beauty

From the peaceful beaches and bays of the Isle of Wight coastline to the immense views from its famous chalk ridges, it's no wonder that more than half of the island is an official Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

You can wander through the waterfalls and trees of the coastal ravine at Shanklin Chine, see the towering chalk stacks that make up the iconic Needles, or relax on the many unspoilt beaches around the area, such as the sleepy fishing bay at Steephill Cove or the sandy shores of Ryde Beach.

If you like the sound of a coastal retirement property surrounded by blue water and golden sands, take a look at some of our latest retirement homes on the Isle of Wight.

Explore a part of England that's rich with history and heritage

With royal residences, military castles and a deep maritime tradition, there's a huge amount of history to uncover around the Isle of Wight.

You can take a tour of the summer home of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert at the 19th-century Osborne House, ride through miles of scenic countryside on the Isle of Wight Steam Railway, or see the artillery fort built by Henry VIII at Yarmouth Castle.

You'll find medieval and military history at the Carisbrooke Castle Museum near Newport, prehistoric fossils and life-sized models at Dinosaur Isle, and countless ancient artefacts and mosaics at the excavated Roman Villa in Brading.

As if moving into my beautiful new apartment wasn’t enough, everything that led up to the move was handled by McCarthy & Stone. I couldn’t believe how easy it all turned out to be; I was left with just two boxes to unpack which suited me and Meira just fine.
