☀️ Evil Under the Sun

Escape to the English coast for sunshine, seaside glamour and a holiday where there may be more than meets the eye.

Inspired by Agatha Christie’s Evil Under the Sun, this journey takes us to the beautiful coastline of Devon, where dramatic cliffs, sandy beaches, elegant seaside hotels and the unmistakable atmosphere of a classic British summer create the perfect setting for a Christie-inspired escape.

At the heart of the story is Burgh Island, a tiny tidal island just off the South Devon coast. With its art-deco hotel, sweeping sea views and wonderfully secluded setting, it feels almost as though it was designed for a Christie mystery.

Your adventure could begin by exploring South Devon, discovering picturesque coastal towns and villages, walking sections of the South West Coast Path and enjoying some of the region’s finest beaches and seafood.

Then cross the causeway — or, when the tide permits, arrive by the island’s famous sea tractor — and step into the unique world of Burgh Island.

But there is plenty more to discover beyond the island. Your journey could continue along the Devon coast, perhaps taking in Salcombe, Dartmouth, Torquay and the English Riviera, with beautiful hotels, coastal walks, gardens and leisurely afternoons by the sea.

Your Evil Under the Sun could include:

☀️ Burgh Island — the iconic setting and its famous Art Deco hotel
🌊 South Devon Coast — dramatic cliffs, beaches and coastal scenery
⛵ Salcombe — harbour, sailing and boutique shops
⚓ Dartmouth — historic waterfront and river cruises
🌴 Torquay & the English Riviera — classic seaside glamour
🥾 South West Coast Path — spectacular coastal walks
🍽️ Devon dining — fresh seafood, local produce and traditional treats

You could make this a glamorous seaside escape, a walking and coastal adventure, a classic Devon road trip — or simply spend a few unforgettable nights surrounded by the atmosphere of Burgh Island.

Because sometimes the best mysteries are the ones where the destination itself becomes part of the story.

The story is the inspiration.
Devon is the setting.
Your adventure is yours to create.
