Love is always in the Cornish air
Romantic breaks in an iconic location
Nestled on the cliffs above the iconic Fistral Beach in Cornwall, The Headland Hotel and Spa delivers seaside luxury, spectacular ocean views and elegantly romantic escapes designed for two. With spacious suites, delicious dining, a tranquil spa and experiences tailored for couples, it stands out for couples seeking a memorable getaway.
Settled right on the Cornish coast, The Headland’s panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean are perfect for sharing sunset moments with your partner. Our Grade II listed building provides a real historic charm.
If you would prefer more of an intimate and flexible getaway, why not cosy-up in one of our coastal cottages and spend evenings in your own private hot-tub with a bottle of bubbles. We have an array of self-catering cottages dotted on the coastline, just a stone’s throw away from the main hotel, AquaClub and beach.
The Headland Spa is the ultimate hide-out for couples wanting to indulge in self-care and quality time. There are dedicated couples’ treatments for you and your partner to enjoy side by side. After your blissful treatment, retreat into the adults-only relaxation lounge for moments of reflection and connection.
The Headland gives you access to both indoor and outdoor pools, seven in total, spread over two facilities. Both facilities provide two different atmospheres, the Thermal Journey is an intimate adults-only space that provides couples with a full switch off from reality. The AquaClub boasts six pools, including a cold plunge pool, for those more experimental couples. The Headland offers something for everyone. Indulge whilst you dip with beers, glasses of fizz and cocktails or mocktails delivered to you in the pool.
