May Half Term Breaks

23rd May – 31st May 2026

Escape to the north Cornwall coast this May half term and soak up the first tastes of summer with a laid-back family break at The Esplanade in Newquay. Nestled next to  Fistral Beach, our hotel is your perfect base for enjoying longer days, sea views and effortless time together.

Settle into comfortable family rooms, wake to the sound of the ocean and step straight into seaside adventure. May half term at The Esplanade is all about being outdoors. From sandy toes on golden beaches to breezy walks and rockpool discoveries, it’s the perfect time to explore Newquay and beyond.

Back at the hotel, kids can get stuck in to FREE May half term activities, with plenty of spaces to play and unwind. Enjoy family dining in Cove, drinks in Elements Cocktail Bar, and panoramic views of Fistral Beach from our sea-view lounge.
