A chilled, family-friendly hotel on a sandy surfing beach with huge views and a sensational pool with sustainability at its heart

Surfers can ride the waves with Wavehunters surf school. But you have unlimited use of the superb spa, and if you have kids, it's a treat; young children can make friends in the popular Ofsted-registered Kids' Zone while you disappear for a massage, a swim, long lunch or late dinner.

Gaze through walls of glass in The Living Space (a huge café/bar), float in the 25-metre infinity pool looking over the ocean, laze on a terrace strewn with loungers directly above one of the best sandy beaches in Britain – two miles long. There's a large ocean room with an open fire, a sauna and clifftop hot tub with stunning views, and food that's fresh and delicious - Executive Head Chef Chris Eden is in charge. Eat in the bar or Zacry's the grill, or it's only 50 paces to the The Beach Hut for a burger.

Gaze out to the Atlantic Ocean from the beach loft rooms and sea view suites. The family suites have separate bunk rooms and apartments have their own kitchens and sitting rooms.

Local points of interest from Mark Williams:

Punti d'interesse locali da
Mark Williams:

  • Set on a spectacular surfing beach on the north Cornwall coast, Watergate Bay Hotel is the perfect destination for a contemporary beach holiday.
  • It’s a place that’s all about the balance of life; being active, getting amongst the elements, eating and drinking well, spoiling yourself a little, chilling out, getting cosy and most of all having a good time.
  • Watergate Bay is a real foodie destination with four different places to eat. The Beach Hut is right on the sand, while The Living Space and Zacry's are in the hotel. Emily Scott Food is serving up hyper-local dishes sits right on the sea wall too.
  • The Watergate Bay Hotel is right next to Watergate Bay, a two-mile stretch of sandy beach, popular with surfers and kite surfers. Wavehunters at the Extreme Academy surf school hires kit and teaches surfing and stand up paddle boarding.
  • For a proper Cornish foodie break beside the sea, stay for three nights and experience three of the bay’s best restaurants with the hotel's Taste of the Bay offer, available outside of school holidays.
  • Keep up to date with the Watergate Bay blog. Find out what's going on in Cornwall and around the bay during your stay. It's where we share all our best recipes, cocktails, and top 10 favourite things to see and do whilst on holiday.
