It is difficult to decide if I prefer a summer or a winter spa break. Winter spa breaks appeal to me as my focus is more on healing and nourishing my body at this time of year. Doing that in a beautiful, luxury hotel overlooking one of the UK’s best beaches is also extremely appealing!

February is the toughest month of the year! Yes, I said it. Not only has winter dragged on for what seems to be 100 years, but the “new year, new me” motivation is waning and the “wintering months” have had me buried under fleece blankets watching Love Island All Stars which is enough for anyone to question their wellbeing.
It is a time when we should be prioritising our mental health and self-care and what better way to blow away the cobwebs than heading to the coast for a winter spa break? Take in the extra fresh air, be revived by the colours and sounds of nature’s finest, and of course, indulge in some pampering.



Fistral Beach Hotel and Spa is perched on the banks of Newquay’s most famous surfing beach. The immaculate, sweeping sandy bay has a hypnotic draw for many and is the most beautiful vista to wake up to at the hotel. This time of year, you will still catch brave souls heading in for a surf despite the chill factor, and if that’s not for you, no fear, there is a warm spa, sauna, jacuzzi, and swimming pool waiting for you in the hotel.

Fistral Beach not only provides a stunning backdrop but it is great for walks, rock pooling, and feeling all the beneficial elements of nature. You might think of Cornwall as a Summer destination but at this time of year with just the locals for company, you will get to experience the true essence of rugged, wild Cornwall with a lot less traffic and no annoying crowds.
