Kai Tak

This striking coastal sanctuary is perfectly suited to families or groups seeking an indulgent getaway just metres from one of Cornwall’s finest beaches. Polzeath is renowned for its golden sands and superior surfing, and the village is dotted with great cafes and restaurants too.

Stroll the coastal path for incredible views, especially from Pentire Point (2 miles), and see if you can spot any seals or dolphins in the water. Head to Rock (2.5 miles) for another excellent beach and the ferry to Padstow, where you should try some fresh seafood in one of the high-end eateries.

If you’re feeling active, all kinds of water sports are on offer in the area, and there’s golf at The Point and St Enodoc (both within 3.5 miles), plus the option of hiring a bike and cycling the Camel Trail, which links Padstow with the market town of Wadebridge (7 miles). Arranged over three storeys, this exceptional property showcases a seamless blend of modern design, light and space.

Pale colours, soaring ceilings and the textures of polished concrete, exposed stone and natural timber highlight its relaxed coastal vibe, with daylight flooding through panoramic windows that frame Atlantic views. On the ground floor, a snug with a Smart TV offers quiet times with a book or favourite movie, while for anyone feeling more active, the private gym includes a rowing machine, treadmill and exercise bike, as well as a Smart TV, bar and drinks fridge.

For an additional charge, it’s also possible to rent the adjacent wellness room, featuring a sunken spa bath, sauna and rainfall shower. A utility room with laundry facilities and a large freezer completes this level.

Taking up much of the first floor, an L-shaped, open-plan living space encompasses the lounge, kitchen and diner, with comfortable seating at each end, a wood burner and a Smart TV. Enjoy morning coffee at the kitchen island before lounging in the sun on the sheltered balcony.
