About The NICI

Following the huge success of The NICI Bournemouth, we’re bringing our signature laid-back luxury to the Cornish coast. Opening in 2026, The NICI Newquay will redefine seaside hospitality with bold dining, vibrant social spaces, and unforgettable coastal experiences.

This is more than a hotel opening, t’s the creation of a destination.
