ITV Channel has been given a first look inside Jersey's new floating holiday pods.

'The Shells' can be found in the middle of St Helier Marina and hope to offer holidaymakers a new perspective: with views that change with the tides.

The culmination of a 6-month long project by Ports of Jersey, the floating self-catered accommodation pods are built from recycled materials and are designed to have a minimal environmental impact.

The pods can sleep up to 4 people and will be open for bookings from early 2025.
