In addition to the gym, the hotel also offers personalised, private yoga sessions for those looking to rejuvenate their mind along with their body. You can perfect your downward dog in the spa, stretch out your mat in the hotel grounds, on the local cliffs or even on the beach. The stunning natural surroundings provide a serene backdrop to enhance your wellness experience.

Or just bring your walking boots and head outside in the fresh air. Ask at reception and they’ll give you a printed map with all their favourite walks in the Salcombe area. On request, they can pack you a luxury picnic in an easy-to-carry backpack to eat along the way.

The Harbour Hotel Salcombe is not just a coastal oasis for serious spa connoisseurs. It’s a culinary paradise of destination dining that will delight all your senses, thanks to exquisite seaside flavours and breathtaking views.

The Jetty

The hotel's flagship restaurant specialises in locally sourced, fresh seafood that reflects the changing seasons to ensure you’re savouring the very best of Devon's bountiful produce. Diners rave about the fish pie and, in the summer months, there’s even a seafood bar, where you can select whatever fish takes your fancy. Not a fan of anything with gills or scales? Try the mouth-watering aged steaks. 

The Terrace & Bar 

For those seeking a more relaxed setting, pull up a bar stool or head outside to the Terrace for light bites and classic British dishes with a twist. Have a sandwich, burger or sharing plate, or try something a little bit different, like the cockle popcorn. They’re all served with an impressive list of beers, wines or spirits, alongside a dangerously good cocktail or two. 

Yes, and it’s like a liquid paradise. Generously-sized at 13m, this watery oasis sparkles with tranquil allure. Do laps, float like a starfish or just curl up in your robe on a chic, seaside-striped lounger. You can even draw a curtain around you for extra privacy while you read your book. Even better, there’s a huge hydrotherapy pool right next to the pool that lets you take a deeper dive into therapeutic indulgence.

It has 50 stunning rooms and suites bursting with seaside charm, so turning your spa day into a spa stay will always be a temptation. With a blue, oatmeal and white colour palette (along with the odd pop of zesty colour) you’ll feel like you’re waking up in a chic New England beach house!

With categories from Classic to Suites, some rooms come with a balcony so you can watch the bobbing boats from your complimentary binoculars while sipping a G and T made from the in-room decanter. They’ve thought of everything.

Superior rooms are a step above Classic and feature more spacious layouts, while Deluxe rooms elevate the experience further, with indulgent extras like roll-top baths. But for the ultimate seaside escape, Suites come with extra opulence, with separate living areas, panoramic views and double balconies with outdoor furniture.

Here on an overnight stay? Lucky you. You can check-in any time after 3pm, while check-out time is up to 11am.

You can shop ‘til you drop at Salcombe’s many boutiques and cute independent shops. Get nostalgic at the pink and white-striped Cranch’s, Devon’s oldest sweet shop established in 1869. You’ll find it hard to choose between the retro candy on offer. Head to the Salcombe Distilling Company to pick up a bottle of Salcombe Gin or visit the bar or gin school.

But the best things to do in Salcombe are free. Ask the hotel for a bucket, a fishing line and some bait (the smellier the better!) and head out crabbing on the harbour-side. Or go to the beach - both North and South Sands are within easy walking distance of the hotel. If you’re an overnight guest you can borrow blankets, windbreaks, fold-up seats, kites to fly, and, of course, buckets and spades! They’ll even pack you a picnic to take with you for £25. 

Yes it is. Whether you have specific requirements or need assistance, Salcombe Harbour Hotel & Spa is dedicated to ensuring that all guests enjoy an inclusive experience on the stunning Devon coast. The hotel has ground level entrances and lifts. You’ll also find wheelchair-accessible rooms with wetroom style bathrooms and grab rails ensuring a comfortable stay.

Very. While there aren’t any family rooms, there are adjoining rooms and some rooms have space for cots or an extra bed (suitable for children up to the age of 12). Picky eaters will love the children’s menu designed to cater to young palates, and kids can splash about in the swimming pool in 30-minute bookable slots between 8.30am and 10am and 4.30pm and 6pm each day. 

Harbour Hotel Salcombe also offers a range of family-friendly activities from beachcombing to crabbing to keep your little explorers entertained. The hotel's proximity to the beach makes it an ideal base for building sandcastles and enjoying picnics by the shore. They’ll even lend you buckets and spades and can pack you a picnic.

Yes it is. Bringing your furry companion to Salcombe Harbour Hotel transforms your coastal getaway into a memorable pet-friendly adventure. This luxury hotel welcomes four-legged guests for £15 per night (per dog) in dog-friendly rooms located just opposite the main reception for easy and convenient access at any time. Dogs aren’t allowed in the restaurant or lounge but can join you on the terrace.

Salcombe itself is a haven for dog lovers, with stunning coastal paths and beaches to explore. Whether you fancy a brisk morning walk along the shoreline or a scenic hike in the surrounding countryside, your dog will revel in the natural beauty of this coastal paradise.

No, there’s no golf course at the Harbour Hotel Salcombe, but the Thurlestone Golf Club is under a 20-minute drive away. With undulating fairways, well-placed bunkers and winds coming off the sea to keep you on your toes, this golfer's paradise makes the most of every inch of its stunning location. It’s situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty so expect some spectacular views over the coves where smugglers used to operate.
