Brighton is one of the UK's most visited coastal cities, known for its independent shopping streets, pebbly beach, vibrant nightlife and easy rail connections to London (roughly 50 to 60 minutes from London Victoria). Choosing a whole apartment here means you get a front door to yourself, a kitchen for self-catering and, in several cases, a private terrace or harbour view that a standard hotel room simply cannot offer. The properties listed below are spread across central Brighton, with a cluster near the historic Lanes district and another group overlooking Brighton Marina, giving guests a genuine choice between city-centre buzz and a quieter waterside setting.
Prices for whole apartments in Brighton start at around 230 EUR per night for a compact studio sleeping up to three guests and rise to roughly 472 EUR per night for a penthouse with a rooftop terrace and sea views. Most options sit in the 287 to 370 EUR range. Because these are self-contained units rather than serviced hotel rooms, guests typically benefit from more space per euro spent, along with the freedom to keep their own schedule. Public transport is straightforward: Brighton train station is within walking distance of most central apartments, and the seafront is reachable on foot from nearly every property listed here.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between staying in a whole apartment versus a hotel in Brighton?+
A whole apartment gives you exclusive use of the property, including a kitchen, living area and, in many cases, a private outdoor space such as a terrace or balcony. You are not sharing corridors or facilities with other guests. Hotels typically offer daily housekeeping and an on-site reception, but less living space. For groups of two to four people staying several nights, a whole apartment usually offers better value per person and more flexibility around meal times.
Which Brighton whole apartments have sea or harbour views?+
Several properties on the current list are positioned at or near Brighton Marina and offer direct water views. On the Water 2, On the Water 3 and On the Water 4 by My Getaways are waterside studios with terraces overlooking the harbour, priced between 335 and 367 EUR per night. The Lanes Gem Penthouse Rooftop Terrace Sea View, at 472 EUR per night, sits in the Lanes area and combines a central location with open sea views from its rooftop terrace.
Are whole apartments in Brighton suitable for families or larger groups?+
Some properties accommodate small groups comfortably. Urban Heights is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom loft-style apartment rated 4 out of 5, priced at 459 EUR per night, which suits two couples or a family with children. Rainbow Studio sleeps one to three guests at 230 EUR per night and is the most budget-friendly option on this list. For larger groups, combining one of the Grafton properties with a nearby unit from the same My Getaways portfolio could be a practical solution, though availability should be confirmed directly.
How easy is it to get around Brighton when staying in a whole apartment?+
Brighton is a compact city and most central apartments are walkable to the main attractions, including the Royal Pavilion, The Lanes shopping area, the seafront and the pier. Brighton train station connects directly to London and other southern England destinations. Local buses run frequently across the city. Apartments at Brighton Marina are slightly further from the train station, around 2 to 3 kilometres east of the city centre, but a local bus route and taxis make the connection straightforward. Parking in central Brighton is limited and expensive, so arriving by train is generally the more practical option.
