Carlyon Bay Hotel

The Carlyon Bay Hotel stands on the cliffs above Carlyon Bay on the south coast of Cornwall, near St Austell — a 1931-built hotel with art-deco lines, set in its own grounds with sweeping views over St Austell Bay and the Channel. Wellness and leisure are central here: a full-service spa with a sauna, a steam room and a hot tub, an indoor pool and a seasonal outdoor pool, a fitness centre and treatment rooms. The hotel also has its own golf course and driving range and outdoor tennis courts, so a stay can be as active or as restful as guests choose. The location is classic Cornwall: the beach is a short walk down from the cliffs, the South West Coast Path runs along the headlands, and the Eden Project, the Lost Gardens of Heligan and the harbour towns of the south coast are all within easy reach. With two restaurants, a bar and wedding facilities, the Carlyon Bay Hotel suits couples, families, golfers and anyone after a coastal Cornish break with a full spa.
