Perched above the golden sands of Mawgan Porth, sister hotels Scarlet and Bedruthan offer two distinct ways to experience one extraordinary stretch of Cornish coast.

At Scarlet, serenity, design and the wild horizon converge for an adults-only escape. Just next door, Bedruthan Hotel & Spa invites families and creative souls to reconnect through colour, crafts and coastal adventures.

Whichever path you choose, the rhythm of the Atlantic is your backdrop and no two stays are ever the same.

One lucky BALANCE reader will win a two-night break with a three-course dinner and artisan bakery breakfast, spa access and a Sensory Spa Garden experience at Bedruthan Hotel & Spa.

Creative outpost Bedruthan has been a feature on the Cornish clifftops since 1959. Its two restaurants beat with a coastal heart and have long believed in cooking sustainably, using local ingredients from this incredible setting.

Scarlet runs on 100 per cent renewable energy, powered instead with solar, wind and eco-efficient systems. The hotel has no AC, as every room is cooled by the sea breeze flowing through its floor to ceiling doors and windows – natural and refreshing.
