Scarlet Hotel

Perched on the rugged cliffs of Mawgan Porth, The Scarlet is a groundbreaking adults-only eco-hotel that balances high-end luxury with deep environmental consciousness.

Designed to embrace the outdoors, the hotel features glass-walled spaces that “stare into the gentle blue” of the Atlantic. From its reed-filtered natural swimming pool to its famous clifftop wood-fired hot tubs, every element of the Scarlet is crafted to provide a serene, soulful retreat where guests can reconnect with nature in total comfort.

Accommodation

The hotel’s rooms are categorised by their feeling and space rather than traditional standards, each offering a unique connection to the coastal landscape.

• Room Categories: Choose from Just Right, Generous, Unique, Spacious, and Indulgent. Each features floor-to-ceiling windows and private outdoor spaces (balconies or terraces).
• Eco-Design: Rooms are built with sustainable materials and feature natural cooling systems, organic linens, and locally sourced furniture.
• The Views: Regardless of category, every room is designed to offer a view of the gardens, the cliffs, or the sweeping sands of Mawgan Porth beach.
• Dog-Friendly: A selection of rooms are designated for guests travelling with dogs, ensuring your four-legged companion can enjoy the clifftop air.

Spa & Dining

The Scarlet experience is centred around wellness and a “game of tastes” that celebrates the changing seasons of Cornwall.

• The Scarlet Spa: A holistic sanctuary offering Ayurvedic-inspired treatments, a chemical-free indoor pool, a steam room, and iconic outdoor hot tubs perched over the waves.
• Scarlet Restaurant: A bright, airy space serving modern European cuisine. The kitchen works with slow-grown, sustainable ingredients from local farmers and fishermen.
• Retreat Spaces: The hotel features numerous “hushed” lounges and quiet corners, including a library and a cinema room, perfect for deep rest.

Accessibility

The Scarlet has been designed with accessibility in mind. The hotel features level access to all main public areas, including the restaurant, bar, and spa, and is served by a lift to all floors.

There are specially designed accessible rooms available, featuring wide doorframes, wet-room showers, and grab rails. Given the hotel’s clifftop location, some of the external paths can be steep, but the internal layout is modern and navigable. Guests are encouraged to contact the host team to discuss specific requirements before arrival.
