Set in a privileged position overlooking the Blue Flag-awarded Carbis Bay Beach, this apartment offers barefoot luxury, stunning interiors and jaw-dropping views in one of the UK's most inspiring stretches of coast. The interior is beautifully styled, with crisp, clean decor and deep blue highlights throughout, from the awning-striped curtains and plant prints to the contemporary kitchen and outdoor furniture. The open-plan living room features a comfortable corner sofa that you can stretch out on with the French doors flung open and enjoy alfresco breakfasts out on the balcony.

    We'd recommend having access to a vehicle to explore the area – there's allocated parking for one car – additional spaces are available on request for an additional cost
