My partner booked a spa day and Sunday lunch at St Michael’s Resort & Spa, which included two hours of spa access followed by lunch. On arrival, you walk through the hotel lobby and restaurant to reach the spa, which immediately sets the tone as the hotel itself is very fancy and welcoming. The spa receptionist greeted us warmly and clearly explained all the facilities available. The ladies’ changing room was lovely, with GHD straighteners, hair dryers and secure lockers included. The spa itself was excellent — plenty of loungers to relax on and a huge pool heated to 35 degrees. There were also several sauna and steam rooms, plus an outdoor hot tub, sauna and plunge pool. Drinks can be ordered at reception and delivered poolside, which was a really nice touch. Although the spa was quite busy when we arrived, it became much quieter during the second hour, making it even more relaxing. After the spa, we headed upstairs to the restaurant for Sunday lunch. They offer two courses for £30 or three courses for £35. We both chose two courses. I had the heritage tomatoes and mozzarella to start, followed by the beef roast dinner. The roast was absolutely huge and came with all the trimmings — excellent value and very satisfying. The hostess was also incredibly friendly and positive, which made the experience even better. I would 100% recommend St Michael’s Resort & Spa to anyone in Falmouth. Whether you visit for the spa or the restaurant, both are equally impressive and well worth it.

I booked St Michaels 4 Day Christmas break as a single person. I had a fantastic time, the food was delicious, the wine was very good, and the brass band on Christmas Eve was a lovely touch along with the singer on boxing night. There were particular members of staff who went the extra mile & were just great. So a big THANKYOU to Caitlyn, Dave & Anderson who made this experience FANTASTIC. I will definitely be booking again for Christmas 2026!

We stayed in the Liner apartments which was dog friendly. Needed member of staff to take us to apartment for the first visit as Very confusing carrying our luggage and dog paraphernalia via the quickest route. We will definitely return as apartment was very well equipped. Close to beach and staff in hotel were lovely especially Ziggy !

Did the 2 hour Hydrotherapy spa session with my partner and it was honestly the best spa experience I’ve ever had!! Facilities are incredible and the cold plunge pool is a massive bonus that a lot of spas don’t have. Nate, the worker who greeted and welcomed us was also brilliant, super friendly & extremely helpful! Defo will come back.

My partner and I had an amazing evening in the spa and then for a 2-course meal after. The spa is incredible - so clean and so many different features, we felt like we could have stayed there all night. Our meal in the Brasserie on the Bay was INCREDIBLE. Our server Senara was absolutely lovely and completely made our evening. The food was delicious - best crab linguine I’ve ever had. Overall 100000/10 experience.

*SPA* I couldn't recommend the spa more. All the staff are absolutely amazing and so attentive! If you're looking to book a treatment I couldn't recommend Amelia more! She's done my last few facials. She makes you feel so relaxed and makes sure you're comfortable the whole time. Absolutely perfect service. More to the point I leave feeling amazing every time! Makes such a difference to my skin! She really knows her products and how to use them!

An excellent venue for a spa break. Situated very close to the beach and walking distance of the town. The spa hydro facilities are fantastic and definitely worth booking a 2 hour session. The health club is included which offers a reasonable pool, sauna and steam room. The breakfast was excellent with lots of choices to cater for everyone. Will definitely return.
