Christmas & New Year breaks

21 December

Settle into the festive spirit, drop your bags, put your feet up, and take a stroll on the sand.  Get involved with our beach clean with the Beach Guardians while Kids' Zone will be telling festive tales with toasted marshmallows and hot chocolates. There's gin tasting with Tarquin's, gift wrapping workshop for last minute presents and a DJ in The Living Space.

22 December

Fill up on waffles for breakfast, and settle into the ebb and flow of the Watergate Bay rhythm. The Beach Guardians will be creating Christmas baubles for the children and there'll be Champagne tasting with Laurient Perrier to start the festive celebrations. Settle in with live music in the evening.

23 December

Marking the beginning of our four-night festive stay is our latern workshop ready for the parade on Christmas Eve. Get creative and join our wreath-making workshop and help fill our corridors with festive scents, or take the wreath home with you. Book a casual dinner in The Beach Hut or a three-course meal in Zacry's, then join us back in The Living Space for live music.

Christmas Eve

Treat yourself to a treatment. Breathe in the fresh sea air on a bracing walk. Take a nap? Whatever. Today is for making it up as you go along and reindeer racing on the beach (the hobby variety). A lantern parade will illuminate the beach with carol singing and a brass band around the bonfire. Santa snacks and reindeer food will be served in Zacry's. Warm up back in The Living Space with live music.

Christmas Day

Mince pies at the ready, a Champagne breakfast, footstool by the fire. You might even find Father Christmas in the ocean room. Christmas lunch is bookable in The Beach Hut or Zacry's, through our reservations team. The Living Space is open until 4pm. In the evening, you'll find a festive buffet in Zacry's. 

Boxing Day

After a leisurely breakfast, go body boarding with Wavehunters, while the pool, with its view, is going nowhere. Take time over tea, linger over dinner and then decamp, if you like, to The Living Space for some music. If you want to learn a new craft there'll be whittling workshops on the beach with a hot toddy to keep you warm.

27 December

Discover the secrets of our rock pools, and learn more about our coastal environment on the beach with the Newquay Marine group. Drop into a gin-tasting workshop with Tarquin's while the children watch festive movies in the Kids' Zone.

28 December

Today is for Cornish Christmas punch and making it up as you go along. Gift wrapping and festive crafts in Kids' Zone and Champagne in the hot tub. 

29 December

Mince pies and mulled wine in The Living Space. They'll be hoola hooping on the beach with an afternoon silent disco to get the party started.

30 December

The start of our New Year house party, with lantern making workshops, gin tasting and plenty of good food and drink. In the evening there'll be music in The Living Space.

New Year's Eve

A very special three-course menu in Zacry's or The Beach Hut. Live music and a family silent disco. Glitter art for the children and a latern parade to the beach. Welcome in the New Year with Champagne and sparklers on The Living Space deck.

New Year's Day

An afternoon beach walk at low tide. Festive movie nights, popcorn, and the final day of our twelve days of Christmas celebrations.
