Overlooking the sweeping, romantic Mawgan Porth beach, this scintillating eco-hotel blurs the boundaries between inside and out, with glass walls, flat roofs covered in sea thrift and infinity pools that seem to reach to the sea. At the heart of Scarlet Hotel is the womb-like Ayurveda-inspired spa, with tented pods suspended in the dark for deep relaxation.

There’s an indoor pool and a reed-fringed, rock-strewn outdoor one and a cedar barrel sauna overlooking the ocean. Plus four clifftop hot tubs, complemented by two cold drench buckets for hot and cold therapy. Bedrooms are soothing, with deep coastal colours, funky touches, excellent lighting, gorgeous beds and sea and sunset views.

In the kitchen, the Scarlet Hotel team has a passion for fusing flavours, foraging and sustainability. The result is exceptional seasonal dishes, using everything from fresh samphire from the beaches of North Cornwall to herbs plucked from the coastal path below the gardens. There’s also an impressive collection of sustainable, slow-aged wines. An adults-only sanctuary which is also dog friendly, Scarlet Hotel is a thoroughly restorative retreat, with a feeling of soothing, sybaritic luxury. The ultimate escape.

Competition closes on 2 April 2026.
