Read, Ramble & Recharge: A coastal reading retreat
Whether you’re seeking literary escapism, windswept wanderings, or simply a moment to catch your breath, this break offers everything you need to reconnect with yourself — and the wild Cornish coast.
There’s a special kind of magic that happens when you press pause on life’s busy soundtrack and tune into the rhythm of the sea. At Fistral Beach Hotel in Newquay, we’ve bottled up that magic and poured it into a brand new break designed to help you completely unwind.
Read
Picture this: you, a hot drink in hand, with a view of Fistral’s crashing waves, lost in a book you’ve been meaning to read for ages. That’s the kind of vibe we’re talking about.
As part of your stay, you’ll receive a special edition signed copy of The Salt Path by Raynor Winn, a captivating true story on the coastline that you can view from a Sea View bedroom. The book is a powerful memoir of resilience and discovery. As you turn the pages, feel the rhythm of the coast drawing you in, then bring the story to life by exploring the very path Raynor and Moth walked. Follow the breath-taking South West Coast Path, where dramatic cliffs meet the endless sea, and experience the healing power of nature first-hand.
Ramble
Step outside and let your senses awaken. With direct access to the South West Coast Path, the Fistral Beach Hotel is your gateway to some of Cornwall’s most stunning seaside strolls.
Breathe in the salty air, feel the Atlantic breeze on your skin, and let the cliffs, coves, and crashing surf do what they do best — refresh and inspire. Whether it’s a mindful morning walk or a golden hour hike, this is rambling at its finest.
Recharge
After a day of exploration, retreat to our Fistral Spa for some serious R&R. With your break, you’ll enjoy complimentary spa access and an exclusive 20% off treatments — because relaxation should never be rushed.
Sink into the warmth of the hot tub, detox in the steam room, or take a moment of calm before your treatment in our relaxation room. Let go of the noise, and simply be.
Whether you’re traveling solo, booking a mindful getaway with a friend, or gifting someone the joy of pause — Read, Ramble & Recharge is your invitation to breathe deeply and come back to yourself.
