# F I S T R A L AT C H R I S T M A S
Set upon the cliff overlooking the sandy shores of Cornwall’s most iconic beach, the Fistral Beach Hotel and Spa is the perfect haven for couples wanting to cosy up, storm watch and unwind in a stylish, coastal sanctuary this festive season. Whether it’s a romantic break for two or a festive gathering with friends, retreat to the beach this winter and celebrate Christmas and New Year in style.

Food
From the moment you step through the doors, the gentle seascapes will relax you as you soak up the floor to ceiling views of the iconic Fistral Beach in Dune Restaurant. At the heart of any festive celebration, the food takes centre stage, and that’s no different at our festive break by the beach. Tis the season to be jolly and a time to indulge with all-inclusive dining. Think naughty-but-nice delights as an afternoon treat or be tempted by an old school favourite, mince pies and eggnog, all topped off with sea views and a festive atmosphere.
“Eat, drink and be merry”
Although Fistral offers a less traditional Christmas, there’s one tradition that doesn’t change – Christmas Day Lunch. The main event takes centre stage and is a time for all to gather and celebrate. Take a seat at the table, tuck into the mouthwatering dishes that Fistral has to offer and toast Christmas Day by the coast.
