Warmly Embrace the New Year

As the echoes of festive cheer fade and the promise of a fresh year begins to stir, there’s no better time to pause, reset and refocus. 

Situated against the edge of Cornwall’s coast, St Michaels Resort in Falmouth offers an invitation to local inhabitants. Let the soothing embrace of their hydrothermal spa, vibrant dining and rejuvenating Health Club set the tone for a revitalised year ahead.

Stepping into the Hydrothermal Spa at St Michaels Resort feels like entering another world – a cocoon of warmth and well-being. Anchored by the largest hydrotherapy pool in the southwest, this thermal paradise is heated to a soothing 35°C, the perfect remedy for winter-weary muscles. Feel the cares of the season dissolve as the gentle jets work their magic, massaging tension away.

Sink deeper into relaxation on poolside day beds and loungers before heading outdoors to the barrel sauna, where the panoramic views of Falmouth Bay elevate the experience to something utterly sublime. Inside, the rainforest steam room envelops you in restorative warmth, while the one-of-a-kind sea salt steam room offers a respiratory cleanse like no other. Finish your journey in the outdoor hot tub, where steam mingles with the crisp coastal air and the gardens unfold toward the glittering ocean.

The joy of St Michaels extends beyond its spa. Dining here is an experience in itself, with two ocean-view restaurants ready to nourish and delight. Nourish Restaurant offers a fresh take on communal dining. Its Cornish-inspired tapas and vibrant salads make it the perfect post-spa retreat, where locally sourced ingredients take centre stage. From bustling café vibes during the day to a relaxed yet chilled atmosphere at night, this is a space for connection – whether you’re sharing small plates with friends or savouring a solo moment of culinary indulgence.

For something more classic yet equally local, Brasserie on the Bay takes you on a delicious journey through Cornwall’s fields, farms and waters. The kitchen team works hand-in-hand with local producers, crafting dishes that are a true celebration of the region’s natural bounty. Every plate tells a story – of Cornish fishermen braving the waves or farmers tending to the land – and the dedicated service team delights in sharing them with diners. Expect menus rich in honesty, bursting with flavour and always mindful of sustainability.

For those looking to make 2025 a year of personal growth and vitality, St Michaels Health Club offers a veritable array of fitness and wellness options. From cutting-edge gym equipment to a packed schedule of classes in state-of-the-art studios, this is a place to find your rhythm.

Prefer a gentler approach? The indoor pool, sauna, and steam room provide a quieter space to unwind, or you can explore tailored wellness plans designed to match your goals. Whether you’re chasing peak performance or simply carving out time for yourself, the Health Club is the perfect partner in your journey.

St Michaels Resort isn’t just a destination; it’s something wrapped up in a philosophy – a commitment to living well, eating well and reconnecting with what matters most. As the new year unfolds, take the opportunity to recharge in a setting that combines the best of Cornwall’s natural beauty with a world-class retreat experience.

Whether you’re local to the area or travelling from further afield, this is your chance to step into 2025 feeling grounded, inspired and ready for what lies ahead.
