May Half Term Breaks

23rd May – 31st May 2026

Escape to the north Cornwall coast this May half term and enjoy the first tastes of summer at The Esplanade Hotel in Newquay. Set beside Fistral Beach, it’s your base for sea views, surfing and proper downtime, made for families who want adventure and space to unwind.

Settle into comfortable family rooms, wake to the sound of the ocean and step straight into seaside fun. May half term at The Esplanade is made for outdoorsy days, from rockpool discoveries on the beach to coastal walks and hours spent at Cornwall’s best family attractions.

Between days out, enjoy FREE May half term activities at the hotel plus in-house leisure facilities: an indoor swimming pool, cinema, and indoor and outdoor play areas. Dine together in Cove (with an adjacent jungle gym play area), toast the day in Elements Cocktail Bar, and take in panoramic Fistral Beach views from our ocean-facing lounge.
