A Unique Conference Location

The Island of Portland

The Portland Spa Conference and Banqueting Centre is a purpose-designed conference venue in a spectacular location in Dorset. Located at Southwell Park, towards the southerly tip of the Island of Portland near the famous Portland Bill lighthouse, The Portland Spa offers a world class venue for conferences, meetings and events.

Portland, linked to the mainland by a road bridge from Chesil Beach, has all the advantages of being situated only 4 miles away from the popular attractions of the major UK resort of Weymouth, whilst possessing its own quiet charm, rugged beauty and stunning coastal scenery.

Portland is also right at the heart of the 95 mile long ‘Jurassic Coast’, designated by UNESCO as England’s first Natural World Heritage Site, as it provides a geological ‘walk through 185 million years of the earth’s history’.

Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy, based at Portland and on the finest small boat sailing waters in northern Europe, has been chosen to host the sailing events for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Portland is a mecca for many exciting leisure and adrenalin activities, including dinghy and yacht sailing, windsurfing, leisure diving and rock climbing, to mention just a few, and is well known for its rugged coastal walks, unique cultural heritage and being the home of world famous Portland stone.

The resort of Weymouth is packed with visitor attractions and offers a wide variety of hotel and alternative bedroom accommodation and the County of Dorset is renowned as one of the most attractive and popular tourism destinations in England.
