Easy days & golden-hour evenings for two

Cornwall’s calling. Spend lighter days on the coast with long walks along Newquay’s headlands, beach time between swims, and the joy of having nowhere else to be.

As the sun dips, settle in for sunset dining in Cove Restaurant with sea views across Fistral, then linger over cocktails in Elements. It’s the kind of easy evening that turns a seaside staycation into your summer story.

The Esplanade is on the South West Coast Path, with scenic routes in each direction from the hotel. With our two-night Walking Break in Cornwall, breakfast, dinner and a packed lunch are all included to fuel your coastal adventurers.

Keen to explore more of Cornwall? Our four-night Coast to Coast Break includes two nights at The Esplanade and two nights at our sister hotel Budock Vean Hotel & Spa near Falmouth. Explore the vibrant north coast and discover the serene riverside setting on the south coast.

Summer on the surfline

Longer days, more sets. Summer is made for chasing the tide at Fistral.

Quiksilver Surf School Newquay is right next door to our hotel, catering to every level from beginners to improvers, plus hotel guests receive discounted lessons!

Book our two-night Surf and Stay Break, or join a women-only Roxy Surf Weekends (24^th-26^th July and 4^th-6^th September). From morning lessons to afternoon sessions, everything you need is right here: accommodation, great sets, views, and the perfect wind-down afterwards in our pool and hot tub. When you’ve worked up an appetite in the waves, dine in Cove and head to Elements Cocktail Bar for post-surf sips.

Seaside stays, all summer long

This summer, come for the beach days and stay for how easy it all feels. Whether you’re here for sun, sea and togetherness with the family, a weekend by the waves for two, or a surf escape from first set to last light, The Esplanade keeps it simple: everything under one roof, and the coastline right outside. From breakfast, to beach, to bed, this is summer by the sea, sorted.
