Retreat in Style

Explore the benefits of owning a luxury holiday home at Retallack Resort, with its exceptional on-site facilities just minutes from the coast.

There’s a unique joy in returning to a place that feels entirely your own, especially when it offers the kind of luxury, freedom and comfort found at Retallack Resort. Just ten minutes from the foodie haven of Padstow and Cornwall’s dramatic north coast, this countryside retreat offers the rare chance to own a piece of Cornwall without compromise. Here, fully furnished holiday homes start from just £149,950, delivering not only a beautifully finished space but also a lifestyle that makes every return feel like the best kind of homecoming.

Holiday home ownership at Retallack is refreshingly simple. With a 999-year lease, owners are assured long-term peace of mind, while selected properties come free from stamp duty and legal fees making the process as stress-free as the holidays themselves. Step through the door of your new property and everything is ready for you: from stylish interiors to spacious outdoor decking, each home is thoughtfully designed for ease and enjoyment. Many even come with the option of a private hot tub, perfect for soaking up the serenity of the countryside under star-studded skies.

But perhaps what sets Retallack apart is the ease of ownership. Everything is turnkey. There’s no renovation, no furnishing, and no to-do list, just your very own Cornish escape, ready to enjoy from day one. And when you’re not using it? There’s the opportunity to earn a healthy income by subletting through the resort’s managed letting scheme. It’s a smart way to offset costs while giving other holidaymakers the chance to experience a slice of this Cornish paradise.

Unlike many holiday parks, Retallack is open all year, which means every season can be savoured in its own way. Whether it’s spring sunshine on a quiet coastal walk, summer fun with the family, or a cosy winter break with spa treatments and hot drinks by the fire, the resort offers a true year-round escape. This kind of flexibility is perfect for families, couples, or anyone seeking a more permanent base to enjoy Cornwall in every season.

One of the standout features of life at Retallack is the wealth of on-site facilities that make every visit exciting, relaxing, or both. For those who love the water, Retallack is home to Cornwall’s only FlowRider surf simulator; a wave machine that lets guests of all skill levels ride the continuous wave, all without ever setting foot in the sea. It’s an adrenaline rush that appeals as much to kids as it does to adventurous adults. The on-site Aqua Park offers another splash-filled thrill: a floating playground of inflatables and obstacle-course fun that’s a hit with families and groups of friends alike, while the Wake Park provides adrenaline-fuelled fun either on a board or an exhilarating Ringo ride.

For more traditional water lovers, the indoor swimming pool offers a calm alternative ideal for morning laps or unwinding with the kids. There’s also a well-equipped gym for those wanting to stay active and the Esya Spa, a calming sanctuary offering treatments that range from deep tissue massages to restorative facials. Whether you’re recharging after a day exploring the coast or simply treating yourself to a little downtime, this is where the real world melts away.

When appetites kick in, The Lookout Bar & Eatery is a place to refuel and relax. With its welcoming, family-friendly vibe and hearty menus inspired by fresh local produce, it’s a hub for casual dining, weekend brunches and those long summer evenings over a glass of something chilled. Whether you’re eating in, grabbing a takeaway, or sharing stories over a Cornish ale, it’s all designed to make your time at Retallack easy and enjoyable.

It’s this blend of peace and play that makes Retallack so appealing. While the resort itself sits in gentle countryside, the wild beauty of the coast is moments away. A short drive takes you to Padstow’s famous harbour, the golden sands of Harlyn Bay, or the surfy buzz of Newquay. Coast paths beckon for long walks and hidden coves await discovery. Then, after a day of exploring, you return to calm: your own tranquil retreat, with a glass of something special on the deck and the gentle ripple of the lake as your evening soundtrack.

For those thinking long term, the financial sense stacks up too. From lakeside apartments to spacious three- and four-bedroom lodges, there are options to suit various budgets and aspirations. Selected properties are mortgageable and come with a 10-year warranty, and with dedicated advisors on hand, the buying process is made refreshingly smooth.

Ownership also comes with a host of perks; discounted spa treatments, food and drink offers, priority booking for on-site activities, and exclusive owner events, all designed to make every visit special.  In a world where time away matters more than ever, Retallack offers something truly valuable: a chance to own your downtime, to create memories with loved ones, explore Cornwall at your leisure and invest not just in property, but in a lifestyle. For many, it’s the dream of Cornwall made real. And right now, it’s more within reach than ever.
