In the shelter of Southampton Water, and right in the heart of the city itself, Ocean Village is much more than a marina. Surrounded by shops, restaurants, a cinema and bars, it offers outstanding recreational facilities, luxury apartment blocks and is seen as a popular and sought after area to reside in the city.

The basin, formerly used for commercial ships, is deep enough to offer mooring facilities for tall ships and large yachts. It has also become famous for hosting the start or finish of round-the-world yacht races.

Nearby Oxford Street boasts some of the city’s finest period architecture and with its chic bars and restaurants is the destination of choice for those who enjoy a truly cosmopolitan environment.

The marina is home to a £50m luxury spa hotel complex the Harbour Hotel and the city’s current tallest landmark building The Morseby Tower.
