Where sea, sand and sky meet, Watergate Bay Hotel is a place to reset. Watch the surfers from the pool, breathe in the Atlantic air, and balance the simple pleasures of good food, time together and moments in the elements.

This winter, the story comes alive with Skate by the Sea. Cornwall’s first beachside ice rink is just a few steps from the shoreline, surrounded by Christmas lights, après-skate drinks and wide Atlantic sunsets.

The prize includes a two-night bed and breakfast stay for two, daily ice skating sessions on the rink, and a surf lesson with Wavehunters. A chance to feel both the stillness and the energy of the season, in one extraordinary setting.
