Spend this summer at these luxury 1 & 2 bed Beach Suites situated above the golden sands of Carbis Bay.

Carbis Bay Hotel, Spa & Estate has been awarded a five-star GOLD Award by Quality in Tourism, becoming the first hotel in Cornwall to be honoured with this prestigious accolade.

Last weeks Gin Tasting evening at the Carbis Bay Beach Club Bar & Restaurant was a great success. Hosted by Tarquin’s Gin, guests were treated to a range of their award-winning Gins as well as a fascinating insight into the creation and history of this successful Cornish brand.

A firm favourite for many years with our guests, Tarquin’s was the first distillery in Cornwall for over 200 years. Meticulously handcrafted in tiny batches using three special flame-fired copper pot stills, they are a contemporary Cornish take on a classic London dry gin, inspired by the wild Atlantic Ocean and cliff tops of North Cornwall.

They have been multi-award-winning picking up the most prestigious award in spirits at the San Francisco Spirits Awards, among several other internationally acclaimed awards.

Did you know? Every bottle is filled, labelled, waxed, stamped, signed and given individual batch tasting notes all by hand.

As the sun broke out on Carbis Bay Beach this morning a small pod of dolphins graced us with their presence. The ocean, washed with colour from the spring sunshine, was the perfect playground. The best view was from the roof gardens of our Beach Lodges! Take a peek inside The Lodges here
