Tucked into the sand dunes of Gwithian Towans on St Ives Bay, Three Mile Beach is a collection of 19 individually designed luxury beach houses with everything thoughtfully taken care of — sunken cedar hot tubs, barrel saunas, log burners, fully equipped kitchens and welcome hampers on arrival. The beach is a five-minute walk, the views stretch to Godrevy Lighthouse and St Ives beyond, and the on-site Chomp food truck serves changing world cuisine in summer. Surf boards, wetsuits, e-bikes and private chefs all available to book. Rated number one on TripAdvisor for Cornwall. Genuinely hard to leave.
