Caledonian expands hotel collection with Isle of Wight acquisition

Caledonian Leisure has strengthened its hotel portfolio with the purchase of a 104-bedroom property on the Isle of Wight. The Broadway Park Hotel in Sandown will be rebranded as The Caledonian Island Hotel and is scheduled to reopen in February 2026.

The addition marks the sixth site in the Caledonian Hotel Collection, joining existing properties in Torquay, Blackpool, Scarborough, Arrochar, and Callander. The deal, completed with the support of Caledonian’s investment partners, extends the group’s footprint into another established UK holiday destination.

The move reflects continued growth for the Leeds-based company, which operates through the Caledonian Travel and UKBreakaways brands. Once operational, the Isle of Wight hotel will welcome both coach package and self-drive visitors. Recruitment for local staff is expected to begin ahead of the reopening, supporting regional employment and reinforcing the company’s commitment to operating in key UK leisure markets.
