Who We Are
Proud heritage. Exceptional hospitality.
China Fleet Country Club is a unique enterprise comprised of two core elements:
China Fleet Trust
The China Fleet Trust is a military charity whose origins stem from the original China Fleet Club in Hong Kong. The Trust owns the entirety of the enterprise and has a mixture of currently serving Royal Navy and business professionals, headed by the Chair of the Trustees, and has one permanent member of staff on-site, the Chief Executive Officer.
China Fleet Country Club Ltd
The China Fleet Country Club Limited operates the enterprise on behalf of the Trust under license and in accordance with an Operating Agreement. The Company is headed by a Managing Director, and it employs over 200 staff, who are managed by 5 company directors.
Our History
From military roots to a modern-day retreat
The story of China Fleet began in Hong Kong, where the original club provided a haven for Royal Navy personnel. When the base was returned in the 1990s, the vision relocated to the UK — reborn in Cornwall as a premier wellbeing destination that still honours its military legacy.
