Escapes your way: Romantic, restorative or adventurous

There’s no one way to plan the perfect escape; from romantic retreats (far from the hustle and bustle) to weekend adventures that put you right in the heart of the action, the key is to play your way.

And, here in Cornwall, you really can have a taste of it all. For the burnt-out city slicker, find restoration at one of the county’s many luxury spas or outdoor saunas, while those with a thirst for a thrilling challenge take on some of the nation’s most extreme sports. And if you’re looking to rekindle the spark? You’re never too short of a sunset picnic on the beach.

Here’s our guide to the perfect escape… your way.

The Restorative Respite

If your idea of bliss involves switching off completely, a restorative staycation in Cornwall offers space to breathe. Wake slowly to the rhythm of the sea, enjoy a leisurely breakfast overlooking the cliffs, and let the day unfold without an agenda.

From our front door, take a gentle walk around Pentire Headland, where you can pause for mindful moments and taste that salty, fresh air, or simply curl up with a book and a sea view. After all, sometimes the most powerful escape is the simplest one.

If you’re looking to take your relaxation a little further, though, why not make the most of Cornwall’s award-winning spas? Whether you want to enjoy an outdoor hot tub session with views over the sea, or to melt the stresses of daily life away in a heated pool, there’s something for everyone.

Top spa packages to consider include The Scarlet in Mawgan Porth, the Headland Hotel in Newquay or St Michael’s Resort in Falmouth. And, if you’re still not sure, just ask our team for their best recommendations!

Perfect for: Burnout recovery, digital detoxes, and solo retreats.

The Romantic Getaway

Begin your weekend with a hand-in-hand stroll along the South West Coast Path, taking in sweeping views over Fistral Beach and the endless Atlantic horizon. Time it for golden hour and you’ll be rewarded with one of Cornwall’s legendary sunsets (the perfect excuse to pop the question!).

Back at Lewinnick Lodge, sip something sparkling on the terrace or enjoy the ocean views from our restaurant’s floor-to-ceiling windows. A candlelit dinner made with fresh, seasonal dishes inspired by locally-sourced Cornish produce hits just the spot for foodies, or, for an extra romantic touch, pack it up and feast with the sand between your toes instead.

From wind-swept moors and sun-drenched coves, to cultural days out (or simply breakfast in bed with the sound of waves crashing below), there’s no better place to reconnect .

Perfect for: Anniversaries, proposals, or simply reconnecting.

The Weekend Adventurer

Cornwall’s north coast is a playground for thrill-seekers and, just minutes from our doorstep is one of the country’s most iconic surf beaches, where you can book a lesson or hire a board and ride the world-famous swells.

Beyond the beach, you’ll find endless adventurous things to do in Cornwall. Just think coasteering along rugged cliffs and paddleboarding in hidden coves, or hiking glorious stretches of the South West Coast Path. Wildlife lovers can take a sea safari to spot dolphins and seals, while explorers can venture further afield to discover charming fishing villages and ancient landmarks.

Back at the Lodge, you can refuel with a hearty meal before heading out for an evening of stargazing… or enjoying a well-earned rest before another day of adventure.

Perfect for: Active couples, friends’ weekends, and spontaneous explorers.
