Secret UK party island loved by Rihanna, Olly Murs & Stormzy launches family holidays with Center Parcs-style activities

A TINY island in the UK is often visited by huge A-Lister celebs, rather than families.

But Osea Island has revealed plans for a new Family Easter Holiday Package, with Center Parcs like activities.

Running from April 11-13, it includes Beach Safari sessions, where kids can learn about nature with tide-pooling and beachcombing.

Art projects and scavenger hunts are also part of the beach day.

Not only that, but on arrival guests get pizza delivered to their door, and can head to the Woodfired BBQ at The Shack which has everything from burgers, chicken and sausages to veggie options of aubergine and potatoes.

Other activities include films at the Shack cinema, as well as a games room, bike riding trails with blackberry picking along the way.

And kids can roam the island to explore the local wildlife, which includes owls, peacocks and foxes.

While the heated pool isn’t open until May, there are other activities including rounders, croquet, football and water spots such as boating and fishing on offer too.

Adults can enjoy a drink at the Puffin pub too.

And there are a number of different properties to choose from which the public can book.

The largest is the Manor House that sleeps 20 people, or there is the Captains House that sleeps 16.

Otherwise there are options for one-bedroom properties as well as smaller cottages for four people.

You will need to start saving though – prices start from £300 a night for the two bedroom properties, or £2,990 a night for the 10 bedroom properties (working out to £150 each a night).

And the Easter family package costs £65 for adults and £95 for kids, on top of the usual stay.

However, the package includes 25 per cent off the stay.

This means a family of four could expect to pay around £825 for the whole weekend – but it does come with the exclusive access to the private island.

The Essex island can only be accessed twice a day via an ancient causeway.

You can even rent out The Bomb Factory, used in WWI as a torpedo store for larger parties and events.

The island has even been dubbed the “English Necker Island” due to its popularity with celebs.

In 2019, Rihanna rented the island for a huge £20,000 a night to record a new album.

Other celebs have included musicians Stormzy, Charlie XCX, The Weeknd and Sean Paul.

Actors Jude Law and Daniel Radcliffe visited while filming (for movies The Third Day and The Woman In Black, respectively).

And celebs visiting to party in private have included Poppy Delevingne, Sienna Miller and Jaime Winstone.

Olly Murs even had his wedding there in 2023, with guests including Mark Wright.

Another island in Essex is Canvey Island, which was once a popular seaside resort.
