Surf's Up at Gwel Trebarwith:
Newquay's New Luxury Coastal Development Caters to Wave Riders and Eco-Conscious Homeowners
As the prime surfing season begins in Newquay, a new development is launching that caters to surf enthusiasts and those seeking high-end coastal living.
Gwel Trebarwith, located on the former Trebarwith Hotel site, set high on the cliff with exceptional sea views, offers buyers a unique blend of luxury and practicality with 16 new-build properties and three renovated dwellings.
The development's design pays special attention to the needs of surf enthusiasts. With direct access to Great Western Beach, residents can enjoy year-round surfing opportunities right on their doorstep.
The Atlantic Ocean swells tend to be larger during the current season, creating optimal surfing conditions that draw wave riders from around the world. After a day on the water, residents can make use of the secure storage facilities for surfboards and equipment, ensuring their gear is safe and easily accessible.


Convenient outdoor showers allow for a quick rinse before heading indoors, making the transition from beach to home seamless. Each property also features a private patio with sweeping views of the waves, perfect for monitoring surf conditions or simply enjoying the coastal scenery.
Dan Harris, Partner at Knight Frank and Head of South West New Homes said;
“Gwel Trebarwith represents a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in Newquay's property market. It's particularly appealing to surf enthusiasts who dream of having premium waves just steps from their front door.
However, the development's broad appeal extends to anyone who values coastal living combined with modern amenities and sustainable design. Whether used as a primary residence, a vacation home, or an investment property, Gwel Trebarwith offers an unparalleled living experience in one of Cornwall's most sought-after locations.”


The properties at Gwel Trebarwith incorporate several eco-friendly features in their design, starting with Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery systems. These systems ensure improved air quality throughout the homes while boosting their energy efficiency. Heating is provided by state-of-the-art Air Source Heat Pumps, which distribute warmth evenly through underfloor heating systems in each home.
To further enhance energy conservation, the development utilizes double-glazed, argon-filled windows, providing superior insulation without compromising on the stunning ocean views. LED lighting fixtures and smart home systems are installed throughout, allowing residents to easily manage and reduce their energy consumption.
The attention to detail extends beyond the individual properties to the development as a whole. Gwel Trebarwith's exterior spaces are thoughtfully designed with brick-paved parking bays and resin-bound aggregate pathways, combining aesthetics with functionality. The landscaped communal gardens offer residents a tranquil space to relax and socialize, adding a touch of natural beauty to the development.
In its design and construction, Gwel Trebarwith strikes a careful balance between modern luxury and practical features for coastal living. Each property is crafted to maximize natural light and ocean views, creating bright, airy spaces that connect residents with the stunning surroundings.
