The Carbis Bay Hotel. Luxury hotel near St.Ives, Cornwall

About Us

The award-winning Carbis Bay Hotel is situated on the golden sands of Carbis Bay Beach, which is owned by the hotel and is reputedly one of the finest beaches in the world.

Part of the larger St Ives Bay, it is one of only two bays in the United Kingdom to qualify as a member of the exclusive, internationally recognised Most Beautiful Bays in the World organisation.

Family run, the hotel is a tranquil paradise, offering a complete hotel service; courteous, friendly staff and attention to detail are apparent from the moment you arrive and are part of the hotel's culture and tradition.

Whatever your mood, the Carbis Bay Hotel combines the perfect holiday ingredients. Enjoy the comfort in one of our forty-four individually furnished rooms and the luxury of room service; relax in one of our spacious lounges; sip a cocktail in our magnificent conservatory; rise to the challenge of our basement games room and enjoy a game of snooker or be entertained by an evening's cabaret (high season only). This unique destination is panoramic living at its best - which has been described as probably the best combination of coastal grandeur, food and beach location anywhere in the U.K. Carbis Bay is a very special place with a breathtaking setting on the shores of Carbis Bay Beach.

Alternatively stay in one of our newly built suite apartments or cottages situated in an idyllic wooded valley within the hotel grounds.

Built in 1894 by the famous Cornish architect, Sylvanus Trevail, the Carbis Bay Hotel quickly gained popularity as a result of the boom in seaside holidays.
