Discover East Kent: A Coastal Gem with Charm and Character
Key Retreats has carefully curated portfolio of properties and places guest experience at the core of its mission
Tucked away in the southeast of England, East Kent is a picturesque and inviting region, celebrated for its stunning coastline, vibrant towns, and peaceful countryside. Whether you're looking for a serene rural retreat or a lively seaside escape, East Kent offers something for everyone.
Stretching along miles of sandy and shingle beaches, the East Kent coast is a haven for beach lovers and coastal explorers. The area is dotted with charming towns, each offering its own unique character. Margate, with its thriving arts scene and iconic Dreamland amusement park, has become a cultural hotspot. Whitstable, famous for its oysters, boasts a working harbour and colourful beach huts that draw foodies and photographers alike. Further along the coast, Deal charms visitors with its Georgian architecture, boutique shops, and laid-back atmosphere.
Inland, the scenery transforms into rolling fields and tranquil woodlands, offering unspoilt countryside perfect for walking, cycling, and reconnecting with nature. At the heart of East Kent lies the magnificent Cathedral City of Canterbury. Steeped in history and architectural beauty, Canterbury’s UNESCO-listed cathedral is a must-see, alongside its cobbled streets, independent shops, and welcoming pubs.
