If you’re spending a special occasion on island, or just in need of a little extra extravagance, a Sunday brunch treat could be just what you need.
All inclusive Sunday brunches are a-plenty around our little isle, and they vary just as much in cost and what they offer.
The majority of the brunches offer unlimited bubbles alone as the alcohol option, so you might want to take this into account in your selection. If you’re not a fan of the bubbly, there are still quite a few with a wider variety of ways to make you wake up full of regret, even if you’re not quite sure what you’re regretting.
So then, with that in mind, we’ve compiled a handy list of some of the most popular brunches to help you decide which one is the best fit for your needs.
