Sunrise to Sunset: 24-Hours of Family Fun at The Esplanade Hotel

At The Esplanade Hotel, a day in Newquay isn’t just a getaway - it’s a full-family adventure, from sunrise to sunset. With Fistral Beach on our doorstep, exciting facilities, and thoughtful touches for every generation, 24-hours with us is pure Cornish bliss.

Morning: Wake Up to Family Fun

Start your day in one of our family rooms, each designed with comfort and style in mind. Some even have balconies overlooking our outdoor children’s play areas, so you can keep an eye on the little ones as they explore and imagine. Kids under 15 eat Breakfast for FREE and receive a Build-My-Bear when booking direct for Bed & Breakfast and Dinner, Bed & Breakfast rates. Offer applied when using the code KIDSBREKKIE on Family Rooms only.

After settling in, take the family down to the Cove Restaurant for a hearty breakfast. With an extensive all-day dining menu and a fun kids’ menu, everyone finds something to love. Little ones can burn off energy in the soft play area right opposite the restaurant while you relax with a coffee, soaking up the morning sea breeze and planning your day.

Midday: Adventure Awaits

Cornwall’s natural playground is right on your doorstep. Take the family for surf lessons with our partner, Quiksilver Surf School, and ride the waves together on Fistral Beach. Back on land, splash about in our heated indoor pool or let imaginations run wild on our outdoor pirate ship. On rainy days, the indoor jungle gym or cinema room offer hours of entertainment - keeping the whole family happy, whatever the weather.

Afternoon: Creativity and Connection

Join in our free family activities during school holidays, from arts and crafts to beach games and pizza-making. Little ones get to create, play, and learn, while parents enjoy some relaxed downtime. Our multi-use sports court and outdoor decked areas provide space for grown-ups to unwind with a drink while the kids play safely nearby.

Evening: Sunset Magic

As the sun begins to dip, it’s time for a family dinner at Cove Restaurant, where front-row seats to Fistral Beach’s famous sunsets make every meal unforgettable. After dinner adults can head to Elements Bar to enjoy a cocktail or join a Cocktail Making Class, while registered babysitters look after younger children for a little parental “you-time.”

Night-time: Sweet Dreams

After a full day of adventures, return to your room for a restful night. Our family rooms are equipped with everything you need to feel at home, and with space for up to six guests, everyone stays comfortably together.

From sunrise breakfasts to sunset dinners, from splash-filled pools to outdoor adventures, The Esplanade Hotel is a place where families can truly enjoy 24-hours of fun together. Come for the views, stay for the memories, and leave with smiles all around.
