Stylish, elegant and unique, The Headland is a luxury hotel with private cottages set on an exclusive clifftop overlooking Fistral Bay. It offers the perfect blend of discreet English ambience and decadent four-star hospitality. Individually-designed luxury hotel rooms and suites with ocean views; rosette-worthy dining and indulgent pampering and wellness at The Headland Spa. All brought together by a team dedicated to ensuring a comfortable stay. The Headland is one of the most understated yet personal four-star spa hotels in Cornwall.
Our spacious rooms and luxury suites offer an air of calm. They are designed to make you feel perfectly at home, yet utterly indulged, all at the same time. We believe that the key ingredients for a good night’s sleep are big comfortable beds, suitably-squashy pillows, luxurious bed linen… and breath-taking sea-views.
Our five-star self-catering cottages offer flexibility, privacy and coastal-chic interiors. An idyllic place for a romantic retreat and a favourite with families seeking a relaxing break, you can enjoy a little more seclusion with unlimited use of our facilities.

Overlooking Fistral Beach, this stylish Victorian hotel features a Five Bubble rated spa, surf school, approach golf course and a wonderful sea-view terrace. Awarded a 5-stay AA rating, the Headland Hotel is a 10-minute walk from Newquay centre.

The impressive leisure facilities include a brand new Aqua Club which includes 6 outdoor and indoor pools (open all year round). The spa includes a Cornish salt steam room, a Swedish sauna, a hot tub, and experience showers. Treatments by Elemis, Voya and OPI can be booked in the state-of-the-art ash wood panelled rooms or work out in the fully equipped Life Fitness gym.

There are three restaurants, and the hotel has been awarded an AA rosette. Guests can enjoy the best of Cornish coastal produce in the brand new restaurant RenMor or in the more relaxed Terrace which features an outdoor veranda with stunning beach views. The Deck as part of the Aqua Club offers poolside drinks, and Mediterranean dining. Afternoon teas and Cornish breakfasts are available, and the bar offers cocktails and fine wines.

The spacious 5-star bedrooms at The Headland have free Wi-Fi access and satellite TV. All rooms feature a cosy seating area, a work desk and a modern bathroom with fluffy robes.

The hotel has a communal laundry room, where guests can access a washing machine and a tumble dryer, as well as ironing facilities.

Perched on a rugged headland, this hotel is just a 20-minute walk from Newquay Railway Station. Free on-site parking is available, and Newquay Golf Club is a 5-minute walk away. The surf school also offers coasteering, stand-up paddleboarding and private surfing lessons.
