The best hotels in St Ives, Cornwall for sea views, swimming pools and spa treatments

Do not settle for a view any less magnificent than the ones overlooking St Ives’ best beach - (Carbis Bay)

It’s easy to see the attraction of St Ives. Sitting oh-so-pretty in southwest England, this quintessential Cornish fishing town has a harbour speckled with colourful boats, cobbled streets leading to tucked-away galleries, whitewashed cottages and that wide, expansive ocean the colour of turquoise gemstones.

In St Ives, you’re never far from a beautiful Blue Flag beach, spectacular coastal walk or subtropical garden. And while this seaside town somehow retains its innate charm, it has also added to its growing repertoire with numerous galleries (St Ives is a hotspot for artists), cool boutiques and a diverse range of eateries – from old-school fish and chips to fine dining.
