Food & Drink
The Rally Restaurant & Bar
Orange hues and oceanic blues serve up a striking interior seascape. Commanding the best view in the house, just moments away from the pebble beach, you can enjoy fresh, seasonal cuisine including the 'catch of the day' supplied by Sussex fishermen. Start with grilled octopus, before tucking in to native lobster, and finishing with a quartet of English local cheeses - Olde Sussex, Golden Cross, Sussex Brie and Brighton Blue. Uniquely, there's a vegetarian menu, too, replete with delicious plant-based options. Wines by the glass have been carefully curated to elevate both the subtle and full-flavoured dishes on the dinner menus.
The Terrace on the Beach
As the name suggests (!), it would seem callous of us not to offer guests the opportunity to dine al fresco, with sweeping views over this ample arm of the Atlantic Ocean, when staying on the Sussex coast. Open all day, dependent on the weather.
Wellness
The Spa
Fresh sea air, wide open space and magical coastal light. The beachfront location sets a tranquil scene for restorative spa treatments which harness the therapeutic power of nature. The Spa at Relais Cooden Beach is partnered with local, Kent-based Pelegrims. This small-batch producer crafts sustainable skincare products using wine by-products from Kent’s ‘Garden of England’. Nutrient-rich and packed with antioxidants, they gently work in harmony with your skin to promote healing and rejuvenation. Choose from a luxurious menu of treatments, including massages, wraps, facials and couples treatments.
