Carbis Bay Hotel
Set within a private 125-acre estate, the Carbis Bay Hotel & Estate is a coastal sanctuary that gained worldwide fame as the host of the 2021 G7 Summit. Perched directly above the golden sands of its own Blue Flag beach, the hotel combines Victorian elegance with contemporary luxury.
Whether you are seeking a restorative spa break or a high-end family holiday, the estate provides an unparalleled waterfront experience just a short, scenic train ride or coastal walk from the heart of St Ives.

Accessibility
The Carbis Bay Estate offers wheelchair-accessible facilities, including lift access in the Main House and accessible dining areas. Many of the newer developments, such as the Ocean Venue and certain beach suites, have been designed with modern accessibility in mind. However, due to the sloping nature of the cliffside estate, guests with limited mobility are encouraged to contact the concierge team to discuss the best room locations and shuttle options within the grounds.
