Wellness and waves
Enveloped by the sea, the ebb and flow of the tide creates a calming rhythm around the peninsula; a place to relax in nature, amid the soothing sounds of the sea and fresh coastal breeze. It's the ultimate location to slow down, prioritise mental health, care for your physical well-being, and disconnect from devices.

Dulse - Sandy Acres, Hayle
Nestled amid the dunes of Hayle Towans, this scandi-style luxury lodge provides a blissful base for your wellness getaway by the coast. Picture restful mornings amid the peaceful dunes, doors open to the sound of birdsong, ready for a day of slow exercise designed to soothe the body and soul.

With so many wellness options within walking distance, you can choose from yoga on the beach or in the dunes; sea swimming combined with a session in the beach barrel sauna; a healing soundbath overlooking the sea, and even silent discos yoga-style on the sand!

For the ultimate end to your day of relaxation, sink into the hot tub and gaze up at the stars as the world melts away.

8 Woodlands, Newquay
Perched overlooking the Gannel Estuary in Newquay, 8 Woodlands is an exclusive getaway for eight, ideal for a wellness retreat with friends. In addition to the outstanding views, the property's prominent position also means that it benefits from direct access to the Gannel! It takes just a few minutes to head through the communal landscaped gardens, down the steps and into the water. Whether swimming or paddle boarding along the crystal clear water, you'll feel in a world of your own in this exotic oasis. You can even book a SUP yoga session to test your balance and embrace inner peace.

Keep the wellness vibes flowing and practise some yoga positions in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the ever-changing estuary as the sun sets. Bring the day to a close with a soothing soak in the hot tub - pure bliss!

Fitness and Fins
Surfing is synonymous with Cornwall, thanks to its miles of coastline and numerous beaches where waves await. With two distinct coasts, the north and south (both are easily accessible from anywhere in Cornwall), there's almost always a spot where the waves are good. Furthermore, the rugged coastline and miles of countryside offer a runner's playground with route upon route of trails to tackle.

1 The Old Corn Store, St Agnes
Located in a desirable area on the north coast of Cornwall, 1 The Old Corn Store in St Agnes is ideally placed for an active holiday. This area on the north coast is a hotspot for high-energy activities, including surfing, running, cycling, hiking, kayaking and coasteering. Being situated close to the South West Coast Path and nearby coves, at the end of an adrenaline-filled day, you can simply return to the peace and relaxation that awaits at this characterful yet calming cottage.

With a dedicated doggy washing station in the utility, it's perfect if you like to bring your four-legged friend on holiday with you, and along for some exercise too. Enjoy the scenic landscape together without having to worry about muddy paws. As dusk sets, relax in front of the glow of the log burner.

Surfside, Praa Sands
If you're looking for an active getaway then Surfside in Praa Sands is the ultimate beach pad. Ideally placed next to this surfing hotspot, it's easy to check the surf through the sea-facing porthole window before getting your wetsuit and board ready. And, after an invigorating surf (or kayak or coasteering session), simply pop back for a post-surf shower and a bite to eat. During the cooler months, warm yourself in front of the log burner, cuppa in hand.

The South West Coast Path is just a few minutes walk from Surfside; simply pop on your boots and enjoy an energetic ramble along the coastline. After a day of walking along the coast, return for some much-needed relaxation on the mezzanine level gazing out across the ocean.

Wherever you choose to stay in Cornwall, you're sure to experience wellness and active escapism, simply by taking part in activities amid nature. Let the landscape guide you - walk, run, surf or swim your way to wellness!
