Cornwall’s Watergate Bay to redevelop former site of Tregurrian hotel

Watergate Bay hotel has secured planning permission from Cornwall Council to redevelop the former site of the Tregurrian hotel into a beach club.

 

The Watergate Bay Beach Club will extend the resort’s wellness offering through the addition of a swimming pool, gym, studios and treatment rooms.

 

It will also feature large multi-room apartments, a small convenience shop selling deli food and essentials, and 12 beach loft hotel suites with grass roofs.

 

The current shipping container development will also be replaced by a timber food pavilion offering a selection of independent food and drink outlets to guests and locals.

 

The plans also seek to improve accessibility to the hotel through the construction of a new walkway and landscaped car parking area.

 

The redevelopment will be delivered in three stages over a few years.

 

Will Ashworth, executive director at Watergate Bay hotel, said: “Having listened to our neighbours, partners and local community, we are today announcing that our plans have been approved.

 

“We thank everyone for their input in this process as their views have helped evolve our vision, which will secure the sustainability and accessibility of Watergate Bay for the future – as well as maximise enjoyment of the Bay for everyone. This is an exciting milestone that we are now looking forward to putting into action over the next few years.”
