The Ballacloan is the perfect family apartment to enjoy the heart of the Isle of Man in all its glory. Set directly on the promenade, The Ballacloan offers an enchanting ground-floor escape just steps away from Douglas Bay.

Step through the gate and into the front garden to enjoy serene alfresco moments, where perfectly trimmed hedges ensure privacy. Inside the apartment, cosy and charming interiors await, from the snug living room with a cosy fireplace for the colder months to the main bedroom boasting wide windows framing the ever-changing bay. Watch the sunrise spill across the water or spot passing vessels gliding into the harbour. At the heart of the home, the spacious kitchen/diner is perfect for whipping up a feast for the whole family to share around the dining table, while the breakfast bar is just the spot for slow mornings before coastal adventures.

Stroll along the harbour visiting boutique shops, spotting the famous statue of the beloved Beegee brothers and enjoy a mouth-watering supper with a view at The Terminus Tavern or La Table. And if you wish to explore further, the tram links close by invite you and your loved ones to explore the island with ease.
