Hotels Own Introduction
A Mediterranean-Inspired Coastal Escape
Nestled in the charming South Cornish village of St Mawes, Tresanton offers a collection of whitewashed buildings that were once a yacht club, now transformed into a relaxed retreat reminiscent of the Mediterranean. Each of the 30 rooms is uniquely styled, featuring a curated mix of vintage and contemporary furnishings, exceptional local art, and breathtaking sea views.
The Beach Club
Just steps away from the main hotel, Tresanton's Beach Club invites guests to unwind on Mediterranean-style terraces adorned with blue-and-white parasols and semi-tropical plants. Overlooking Tavern Beach, with direct access to the sand, it’s a chic haven for sunbathing in swimsuits or sipping cold-pressed juices in the Cornish sunshine.
Dining With a View
The hotel's main dining space offers a south-facing mosaic-floored restaurant and a terrace filled with vibrant pelargoniums. With stunning views stretching out to St Anthony’s Lighthouse, it’s the perfect setting for savoring a fresh, coastal-inspired menu in relaxed elegance. Whether you're here for a seaside escape or a culinary journey, Tresanton promises a serene getaway where the spirit of the Cornish coast meets Mediterranean charm.
