THE ESPLANADE HOTEL IN NEWQUAY
Half Term Breaks
Create cherished family memories on the Cornish coast with a school holiday break at The Esplanade Hotel in Newquay. With Fistral Beach right on our doorstep, our half term holidays are perfect for beachside family adventures. Discover a place where generations can come together, relax, and play, whatever the weather.
Your ultimate family break in Cornwall
Escape the everyday and dive into a world of fun. We believe that school holidays are for making memories, which is why we offer a packed schedule of FREE family activities. There’s always something to keep the whole family busy and smiling.
Make a splash in our heated indoor swimming pool, and check out our places to play, from the outdoor pirate ship ready for boarding, to the indoor soft play area where little ones can let off some steam. When it’s time to unwind, head to our in-house cinema room. Grab some popcorn, settle into a comfy seat, and get lost in a family-favourite film together.
And of course, no coastal getaway is complete without a bit of sand between your toes. Simply borrow a bucket and spade from our Beach Library and stroll down to the golden sands of Fistral Beach, just steps away, to build the ultimate family sandcastle.
Want to try surfing lessons? Quiksilver Surf School is adjoined to The Esplanade Hotel. Simply pop in and book your discounted lessons as a hotel guest.
