The Headland Hotel and Spa  

Perched on a dramatic clifftop above Fistral Beach on the North Cornish coast, this luxury five-star hotel and spa puts the Atlantic on full display. Minutes from Newquay town centre, Beacon Cove, Towan Beach, Blue Reef Aquarium and the golf club, it’s ideal for surf days and coastal walks.

Rooms and suites are individually designed with modern comforts like flat-screen TVs, DVD players and private bathrooms, plus safes and work desks. Private self-catering cottages sit nearby for a more independent stay, and a multi-award spa and a brand-new £10 million swimming and wellness complex complete the clifftop escape.

Soak in multiple pools (including a large new six-pool wellness space), relax in the full-service spa, or sweat it out in the fitness centre, yoga area and outdoor tennis courts. On-site extras include a sauna, steam room, massage treatment rooms, mini-golf, ping-pong and concierge service, plus lift access and on-site parking—wake up to sea-breeze mornings and stroll straight to the headland.

Conference space and meeting rooms are available for events, with complimentary wireless high-speed internet throughout the property and express check-out for busy schedules.

Two acclaimed restaurants and a Mediterranean-inspired eatery in the wellness complex serve rosette-worthy dishes and a focus on regional ingredients. There’s also a coffee shop/café, bar/lounge, 24-hour room service and a complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast to start surf days or board meetings right.
