What do you think makes a stay at Woolacombe Bay Hotel & Spa unique?
⭐️ We are proud to have won 'Best Hotel in Devon' Silver Award by Visit Devon in 2025.
⭐️ We have been voted 'Best Large Hotel in Devon' for 3 years running by Muddy Stilettos.
Our coastal home is the closest hotel to the award-winning Woolacombe Beach, nearly all of our 58 bedrooms and all luxury suites offer stunning seascapes – as do the hotel's lounges. Come rain or shine, you can spend just 24 hours at the hotel, and enjoy some of the finest experiences...
Catch one of the latest Hollywood blockbusters at NEO Cinema, hit SALT for a bass-thumping fitness class, head to The Alchemist Spa to choose from a range of TEMPLESPA treatments, take to the multi-sport courts for a game of tennis or pickleballl, and watch the sunset over the seascapes as you dine.
On sunny days, the Bay Lido is the place to hangout - take a dip in the heated pool, sip cocktails, and chill-out on cabana-style lazy loungers.

Can you suggest any activities or things to do while staying in the Woolacombe area?
With miles of soul-stirring coastline and rugged countryside within easy reach, Woolacombe is quite simply one of the most beautiful places to visit in Devon and the whole of the South West.
You'll find no shortage of magical places, unique attractions and one-of-a-kind activities to try. But perhaps the greatest quality of all is that in spite of its accessibility, Woolacombe feels as if it exists a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It's the perfect destination to lose yourself and make new memories.
Pack a surf board and hit the world-renowned waves, or pull on your hiking boots and enjoy the famous South West Coast Path - right from the door! This is a place where you can feel the cool rush of the Atlantic or discover the rugged beauty of Exmoor National Park.
Where can guests enjoy food and drink?
Just off the beach, you'll find The Bay Brasserie. Serving handcrafted brasserie-style dishes, the menus are packed with gastro delights, showcasing the season’s - and region's - finest flavours. You can expect fish fresh off the day boats, perfectly-cooked steaks, a selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes, and beautifully-presented desserts... All accompanied by a selection of fine wines, expertly muddled cocktails, and heartfelt hospitality.
Afternoon Tea is served daily (booking required), inviting you to tuck into three tiers of treats.
Special dietary requirements, allergies and tastes are all expertly catered for, and a Kid's Menu is available. Dogs are welcome to dine with you in the internal courtyard of the Bay Brasserie. Early family-friendly suppers are available, as is room service.
