Droskyn Lookout

Droskyn Lookout is one of Cornwall’s most exciting new openings, a clifftop wellbeing hub, hostel and cafe perched right on the coast path at Droskyn Point above Perranporth, housed in the newly transformed former YHA building with some of the most jaw-dropping views on the north Cornish coast. This is the kind of place that stops you in your tracks before you have even got through the door, with the sweep of Perranporth beach and the Atlantic laid out below you in a way that makes everything else feel rather beside the point.

The wellness facilities are the headline act, with a state-of-the-art sauna, cold plunge pool, hot tub and recovery facilities that must rank among the finest viewpoints for a post-plunge moment of quiet awe anywhere in the UK. When you have thawed out, the laid-back cafe serves coffee, pizza and more to keep you fuelled for the next clifftop adventure. For those who want to linger longer, the hostel offers comfortable, affordable overnight stays with those extraordinary sea views thrown in for free. Vibrant, community-minded and genuinely unlike anywhere else in Cornwall, Droskyn Lookout is well worth going out of your way for.
