Win 250 Philema Rewards points

Share your favourite family holiday moment at The Esplanade Hotel in Newquay and you could win loyalty points to put towards future stays, dining and experiences.

This is your summer to beach, sleep then repeat in Newquay, Cornwall. To celebrate the season, we’re inviting guests to get involved with our Instagram competition by sharing their favourite summer moment while staying at The Esplanade. It could be sandcastle building on Fistral Beach, splashing in the surf, joining in with children’s activities at the hotel, or settling in for sunset views over dinner. Anything that made this holiday unforgettable.

Overlooking Fistral Beach, The Esplanade Hotel is made for those easy, memory-filled Cornwall holidays where every day brings something new to share. We love seeing the moments that make your stay special, from big beach adventures to the little in-between details that become part of the holiday story.

Each week, we’ll choose one lucky winner to receive 250 Philema Rewards loyalty points, which can be used towards future stays, food, drinks and experiences across the Philema Collection.

How to enter

  1. Take a photo of your favourite summer moment during your holiday at The Esplanade Hotel in Newquay
  2. Tag @esplanadehotel on Instagram and add us as your location
  3. Use the hashtag #ShareYourSummer
  4. Make sure you’re signed up to Philema Rewards to be in with a chance of winning – it’s free to join

Whether you’re here for a couples’ getaway or a family break with days spent between the sand, the pool and the waves, we can’t wait to see summer through your eyes. Good luck!
