Baywatch

Geometric prints, crisp whites and maritime touches combine resulting in an interior space which is equal parts stylish and relaxed. Pad across the floorboards between dining table and eclectic sofas, or fetch an aperitif from the modern kitchen.

Cool whites run from living space throughout the bedrooms, all of which are accented with differing fabrics, and outdoors an expanse of garden encircles the property and adjoins the sands of Ravens Porth below.

The Ruin Beach Cafe is so close you might overhear the subtle clink of glasses from the garden if you listen closely. Opt out of cooking and tuck into a sharing platter on the terrace instead.

Also nearby are the Sailing School, tennis courts and an indoor pool.

We love the boat-shaped bookcase in the lounge almost as much as we love the unbeatable proximity to the beach.
