24 Hours at The Village, Watergate Bay

Beach Retreats team 02 July 2025

Wake to the sound of the ocean at The Village. Just 200 metres from your front door lies the beautiful sands of Watergate Bay, and the rolling waves of the Atlantic. From the wildflower-planted roofs to the soft curves of the timber cladding of these eco-conscious properties, The Village homes are designed to blend harmoniously into the cliffside above Watergate Bay. 


Why stay at The Village?

If you’re looking for a coastal escape that blends thoughtful design with effortless beachside living, The Village offers something truly special.

Perched along the cliffs, these contemporary eco‑homes are designed to sit gently within their surroundings, complete with wildflower-planted roofs and a low-impact approach that keeps nature at the heart of every stay. It’s a place where modern comfort meets the rhythm of the coast.

From the moment you arrive, everything feels effortless. The beach is just 200 metres from your door, perfect for morning swims and watching the sun set over the water from your terrace.

Inside, these stylish properties, which sleep between four and ten guests, are wonderfully spacious, making them perfect for families, groups of friends, or multi-generational getaways. Luxurious interiors open onto sun-soaked terraces, designed for relaxed, barefoot living, whether that’s long breakfasts in the morning light or evenings dining al fresco as the sun dips below the horizon.

Step beyond your door and the experience of a holiday at The Village gets even better. Surf lessons, coastal path walks, and sweeping ocean views are all easily accessible, meaning whatever your perfect break, you can enjoy it here.

Read on to discover how our local experts would spend 24 hours at The Village.


Morning in motion

Step onto your spacious sun terrace balcony and watch the golden light stretch across the beach, surfers already tracing lines through the early swell. Conditions look good? Grab your board from your dedicated surf storage area (or hire one down on the sand) and head straight to the waves.

Prefer dry land? Follow the coast path north to the granite sea stacks at Bedruthan Steps or take a gentler stroll south to the sheltered sands of Porth.


Midday delights

Ease into post-surf snacking at The Beach Hut, where you can graze on small plates over the best sea views in the area. Just seconds from The Village, this laid-back beach restaurant is perfect for heading down for an easy bite to eat. 


Afternoon ease

Back at your Village retreat, floor-to-ceiling windows flood the open-plan living space with light.

Each property is designed differently, but all of the interiors are quietly luxurious – clean lines, curated furnishings and coastal textures. Sliding glass doors let summer air drift in from the balcony and lead to cliffside and sea views.


Evening indulgence

Stroll down to Zacry’s on the sea wall for refined dishes made with local produce – think chargrilled seafood, punchy salads and well-paired wines. Or settle in at The Living Space for more laid-back bites and cocktails with a sunset backdrop.

Head back to your retreat for a glass of wine on the sofa or the terrace, or a leisurely bath. 


Sunset and starlight
