Has Newquay gone posh? 'Britain's Magaluf' swaps strip clubs and mankinis for Michelin-starred restaurants and boutique hotels

Newquay, a coastal town in Cornwall, has undergone a significant transformation from being known as 'Britain's Magaluf', a hub for stag parties and nightlife, with issues like underage drinking and strip clubs, to a more upscale destination. In 2009, local authorities introduced a ban on 'mankinis' and other inappropriate attire, leading to a decline in anti-social behavior. Recently, the town has seen the opening of the Nici Hotel, a boutique establishment targeting affluent travelers seeking luxury and style. The hotel, located on the cliffs overlooking Great Western Beach, features modern design elements, high-end amenities, and a range of free seaside activities. While the hotel caters to a more sophisticated clientele, it still faces challenges such as crowded beaches during peak times.
