Cornwall’s Atlantic shore features some of the most dramatic coastline in the whole British Isles. And the town of Newquay has its fair share of exhilarating rocky promontories, towering cliffs and golden beaches, all packed into a small area. We wanted to get in touch with the town’s breathtaking scenery, and decided to find out just which are the best sea view Newquay hotels. One of the best things about the spectacular landscape here is that you can enjoy it year round – nothing beats an invigorating morning walk along a windy cliff top, or waking up to the gentle sound of rolling surf. So here’s our list:

1. The Harbour

This 4-star is the cream of the crop of Newquay Hotels when it comes to both luxury and location.

2. The Headland

Another elegant and upmarket hotel, the Headland is surrounded on three sides by rugged coast battered by the tempestuous Atlantic Ocean.  As you might expect, the interior at one of the best sea view hotels in Newquay is far more serene. This 4 star setting provides a tranquil counterpoint to Newquay’s summer mayhem, or a warm and cosy retreat from the winter wind and rain. Doubles from £84.  Compare Prices Now…

3. The Glendorgal

Further along the coast is this 3 star hotel, surrounded by an expansive 17 acres of private land exposed to the sea and looking out over Porth beach.

The hotel is situated away from the bustle of the town centre, but not so far that you can’t get there on foot in a few minutes. Doubles here start at an inexpensive £50.  Compare Prices Now…

4. Hotel Victoria

Perched atop a cliff in the centre of town, the Victoria is one of the most grandiose hotels in Newquay. This large 3-star looks out directly over the ocean, offering a view that extends to the town of Trevose, miles along the shoreline. The Victoria even provides an exclusive private lift for guests to get down onto the Great Western Beach below in style. A highlight is a choice of four themed restaurants connected to the hotel. Doubles from £54 per night.  Compare Prices Now…

5. The Carnmarth

At the northern tip of the famous Fistral beach, the Carnmarth is another of the hotels in Newquay to benefit from gorgeous vistas. Here you can take in a view over the bay, the green expanse of Newquay Golf Club and out to the sea beyond. You take this sight in from the hotel’s stylish C-bar and Terrace, a contemporary nightspot for hip young things with a large raised patio for a front-row seat for those glorious Atlantic sunsets. Doubles start at £65.  Compare Prices Now…
