What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
expansive windows track the Atlantic from public spaces. Vintage surfboards mount the walls, lobster net pendants hang above the dining room, nautical ropes suspend from bar ceilings.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Fistral Beach lies right outside the door, with surf rentals across the sand and central Newquay five minutes away.
The rooms
Rooms have handmade timber furniture and local coastal art. The top suites add private in-room hot tubs.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated indoor vitality pool sits beneath a fiber-optic starlight ceiling, with underwater lighting and massage jets.
The spa
Nine treatment rooms host organic GAIA and ESPA rituals, from jade crystal facials to herbal poultice massage.
Dune Restaurant
Floor-to-ceiling windows look out across Fistral Beach, where the kitchen serves three-course dinners of local Cornish produce.
At the table
Bay Bar serves small plates and flatbreads beneath a sculptural timber chandelier, looking out toward the ocean.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
