3Perched high above its own golden sands, Carbis Bay Hotel & Spa is one of the most spectacular places to stay on the Cornish coast — a luxury hotel in Cornwall where floor-to-ceiling windows frame the turquoise sweep of St Ives Bay from almost every room. Just a mile from St Ives and set within a sprawling coastal estate, this beachfront hotel in Cornwall pairs grand Victorian character with a relaxed, barefoot-luxury feel. At its heart is the award-winning C Bay Spa, a destination in its own right. Float in the heated outdoor infinity pool as it seems to spill into the sea, unwind in the hydro pool, sauna and steam rooms, or book a treatment with the horizon stretching out in front of you — few spa hotels near St Ives can match the view. Active guests will find a yoga studio and fitness gym to keep the holiday balanced. Dining is just as memorable. Four on-site restaurants include MOR by Tom Sellers, where the celebrated chef brings seasonal Cornish produce and seafood to the table, alongside relaxed beach-club bars and terraces made for lazy afternoons. What truly sets this Carbis Bay hotel apart is the beach itself. Guests have direct access to a private, Blue Flag beach — a rare luxury that makes it one of the few genuine private beach hotels in Cornwall. Families love the safe, shelving sands and the space to roam, making it a wonderful family hotel in Cornwall, while couples can retreat to a self-contained beach lodge in Cornwall right at the water's edge. The setting is equally sought-after for celebrations, and the hotel is a breathtaking wedding venue in Cornwall, with the bay as a natural backdrop. With its own train halt moments away, the whole of west Cornwall is easy to explore — though with so much on your doorstep, you may never want to leave.
