The Headland Hotel and Spa
Film fans may recognize The Headland from the 1990 film The Witches, where the hotel stood in for the fictional Hotel Excelsior. Many of the corridors, staircases, and exterior settings featured on screen can still be explored during your stay.
Behind the hotel's red-brick Victorian façade, rooms and suites combine contemporary comforts with historic character. Many overlook Fistral Beach and the Atlantic through large bay windows, while individually designed interiors reflect the property's long heritage. Luxurious touches include Molton Brown bath products, while select accommodations feature four-poster beds, roll-top baths, and private balconies.
RenMor celebrates Cornwall's land and sea with seasonal menus built around local seafood and regional produce. Award-winning Ugly Butterfly by Adam Handling highlights British ingredients and Cornish flavors overlooking Fistral Beach, while The Deck serves Mediterranean-inspired fare by the pool and afternoon tea pairs pastries, finger sandwiches, and Cornish cream tea with shoreline views.
The AquaClub centers around six indoor and outdoor pools, from hydrotherapy spaces to outdoor pools with views of the ocean. The Thermal Journey features a Cornish salt steam room, Swedish sauna, aromatherapy showers, and heated tepidarium beds. Spa time might include a hot stone massage, seaweed-based facial, or touch therapy treatment, while a gym with Life Fitness and Peloton equipment supports more active pursuits.
Step directly onto the South West Coast Path for clifftop walks or head to nearby Fistral Beach for surfing, paddleboarding, and coasteering. Warmer months bring Atlantic expeditions and snorkeling, while autumn and winter draw guests to the hotel's storm-watching experiences as waves crash against the headland. Golf, spa days, and seasonal events offer slower-paced ways to spend an afternoon.
