The sea views are simply stunning. The picturesque Cornish coastline vista stretches toward Pendennis castle, built by Henry VIII, and out, uninterrupted to the blue beyond.

South facing, our mature Cornish gardens and spa deck capture the warmth of the sun all day long. Meanwhile, the Gulf Stream creates a climate unique in the UK, supporting a warmer environment all year round.

Overlooking Falmouth Bay, St Michaels is nestled into the hillside, its beautiful gardens leading down

to Blue Flag Gylly beach and the ocean beyond.

From rock pooling, wave jumping and sandcastle building to paddleboard yoga at dawn and exploring the coastline by yacht, countless adventures await.

Cultural discoveries are also on hand. The picturesque and vibrant centre of Falmouth is a short walk away and there is always something to celebrate. With October’s Oyster festival and the Red Arrows display over the bay for Falmouth Week annual highlights, year-round fun can also be had at Pendennis Castle and the National Maritime Museum.

Steps from Gyllyngvase beach, you are moments from feeling the sand between your toes.

Our enviable location is a tonic for the soul in its own right. The Cornish sea air invigorates the mind during your

morning stroll along the beach, but the real benefits are found in our state-of-the-art health club, world-class spa

and award-winning restaurants. And, of course, in the luxury of taking time for yourselves.

Saluting the sun on Gylly beach as it rises over Pendennis castle is an experience to savour.

Bettered only, perhaps, by doing so on a paddle board, the dawn rays shimmering on the sea.

Among more than 100-instructor-led classes each week, the latest Les Mills classes are held in our purpose-built fitness studio, alongside more gentle yoga and Pilates.

Our unrivalled health club extends beyond the expansive confines of the facility itself. Our expert trainers and fitness coaches run regular classes outside, practising yoga on the beach, providing personal tennis coaching on our courts, and running exercise routines in our health club garden.

The relaxed Brasserie on the Bay, overlooking our sub-tropical gardens and on to the dazzling sea, showcases the best in Cornish ingredients.

Our executive chef works closely with local producers, farmers and fishermen. Passionate about using locally grown, reared and hooked produce, he creates dishes that are fresh, of the highest quality and low in food miles.

The morning’s catch is brought in each day, so only the freshest fish and seafood make it to your plate. A supporter of sustainable fishing, we ensure the species we choose are not threatened or from depleted stocks.

Popular with all the family, it is open for breakfast and evening meals. Awarded 2 AA rosettes, it is a favourite with locals too, and so best to reserve ahead of time to avoid disappointment.

Beyond our restaurants, you may also enjoy a bite in our lounge or Locker – a separate space, traditionally decorated, with a large television and more informal seating – or in our bar at the heart of the hotel.

With signature cocktails, local lagers, beer, ales, spirits and a great range of wines, it is always a hub of activity.

The welcoming Arrival Lounge, with comfortable sofas, arm chairs by the wood-

burning stove and large country table, is not only a place to check in with our St Michaels hosts over a refreshing glass of mineral water, but also a space to discover local attractions, using our maps and tourist guides.

Downstairs, the secret Wine Vaults can be booked for private dining and events. With a dedicated bar and the latest AV equipment, it is designed for the ultimate intimate occasion.
