Best Luxury Hotels In Newquay
The UK’s wild, western coastline is a paradise for surfers. And Cornwall’s unofficial tourism capital is a major draw for wave riders. Newquay, in the north of the county, is also a top holiday spot for families, groups and couples wanting a fun, beachy getaway with beautiful scenery. Unlike the more rural parts of the county, the town has a vibrant nightlife, an abundance of bars, restaurants and attractions, as well as an airport and railway station for fast, direct access from across the country. Here are the most stylish places to stay and be pampered, in the vicinity of Newquay.

Fistral Beach Hotel And Spa
(4 stars) Overlooking Cornwall’s most famous bay, Fistral Beach Hotel is conveniently close to the surf action — choose a waterfront room and you can fall asleep to the soothing sounds of crashing waves. The colour palette inside reflects nature’s colours outside, with laid back contemporary decor across the 71 bedrooms (guests also have the benefit of Nespresso machines and ESPA toiletries). Dine indoors at Dune restaurant and drink outdoors, overlooking the ocean, at the Bay Bar. Fistral Beach is a super choice for fitness fanatics, with a state of the art gym and a busy timetable of classes, as well as a top-notch spa.
