What is laid back luxury?

We talk about laid-back luxury here at Three Mile Beach, but we thought that it might need some explaining.

What is laid-back luxury?

It’s the feeling of sand between your toes just a couple of minutes walk from your luxury beach house. Coffee in hand, with nothing ahead of you but the glorious Atlantic ocean and a day of fun, exploration or total relaxation. It’s the quiet magic of Three Mile Beach, a place we have created to blend thoughtfully designed beach houses with the wild and untamed beauty of St Ives Bay. It's a place where you can do everything and nothing, and we make sure that whatever it is you decide to do you have everything you need to enjoy it.

The devil is in the detail, as is the magic

Each beach house feels like a secret hideaway, private, beautifully designed and effortlessly in tune with its surroundings,. Natural wood, soft linens, vast windows that pull the outside in and that sense of understated elegance that doesn't try too hard. By night your private hot tub is steaming, on cooler evenings the crack of wood in your wood burner is the soundtrack to your stay, and if you like ordering top notch take away or booking a private chef, it’s all available, ready and effortless.

Three Mile Beach is a place where the classic barefoot beach lifestyle is amplified by thoughtful and luxurious touches. Think organic toiletries, handpicked interiors, rainfall showers. Hammocks swaying gently in the breeze as you decide if today’s for surfing and adventuring or simply soaking in the hot tub.

We’ll have your wetsuits waiting, your paddleboards prepped and your adventure gear ready to go, so you can slip straight into beach mode the moment you arrive.

It’s not style over substance either, it’s about knowing that you’re looked after, without feeling crowded. Our team is passionate about helping you have the best possible stay, creating lasting memories with family and friends.. That care goes beyond your luxury beach house, we offer insider tips and curated guidebooks that double as coffee table companions. It's boutique hotel-like customer service when you need it most, but space when you want it.

Three Mile Beach is perched on a stretch of Cornish coast that feels both untouched and warmly familiar. It's a place that is recognised for its beauty, picking up the plaudits from The Sunday Times and being named as its beach of the year in 2024. It's easy to see why when you are here. Wild dunes, untouched sand and stunning surf combine to make a real nirvana for coastal loving folk.

What really makes our corner of Cornwall special is its refusal to be anything other than itself: raw, beautiful, unspoiled. Yet here amongst all that wild nature is a place where

You can relax, unwind, breathe and connect with each other and the environment around you, knowing that your every whim is looked after.
