Cosy Couples Breaks at The Esplanade Hotel
A perfect base for adventures and quiet moments by the sea
With fresh sea air and Fistral Beach just a stone’s throw away, The Esplanade Hotel is the seaside spot for couples seeking a balance of relaxation and adventure. Overlooking one of the UK’s most iconic beaches, our hotel offers more than just a place to sleep - it’s a place to reconnect, unwind, and enjoy timeless coastal experiences together.
In our opinion, autumn is one of the best times of the year to visit. The crowds have eased, the pace slows down, and the temperature is still pleasant, while the sea remains at its warmest - perfect for those who want to dip into saltwater thrills without the summer bustle. Perhaps now is the ideal moment to escape with your other half, leaving behind the busyness of the summer months to unwind, recharge, and reconnect by the sea.
Spend your days taking a wander and exploring our playground - from the endless stretch of sandy beach to the rugged Cornish coastline, all within easy reach. Whether you’re releasing your inner adventurer with a surf lesson at the Quiksilver Surf School or simply enjoying the laid-back Elements Bar with sultry cocktails and ocean views, there’s space to make memories and relax.
Our coastal-chic rooms set the scene for cosy evenings in, while the Cove Restaurant serves up relaxed dining with the very best of Cornwall on a plate, paired with unbeatable views of the bay. When it’s time to unwind, make the most of our leisure facilities - indoor pool, hot tub, and sauna - or head next door to the adult-only Fistral Spa, where guests receive a 10% discount on treatments.
For those looking to combine adventure with comfort, our couple breaks offer a thoughtful balance.
Two nights accommodation, breakfast in Cove Restaurant each morning, dinner each evening of your stay, and a surf lesson with the Quiksilver Surf School (including equipment hire). Enjoy a Quiksilver or Roxy gift in your room and a complimentary hot drink after your lesson. Available April to October.
One night stay for two people with breakfast in Cove Restaurant, a three-course evening meal on Sunday night, and full use of the leisure facilities. Plus, 10% off spa treatments at Fistral Spa.
Whether you’re here to chase saltwater thrills or simply unwind together with breath taking views and fresh sea air, The Esplanade is the perfect place to slow down, reconnect, and create lasting memories by the sea this autumn.
