Star icon Luxury apartment living in St Ives with panoramic coastal views

Perched above the sweep of St Ives Bay, with uninterrupted views across the turquoise waters and golden sands of Porthminster Beach, Chy Vista and Albany View offer an extraordinary coastal retreat for up to 16 guests.


Side by side within the exclusive Chy Albany collection, these neighbouring luxury duplex apartments combine to create a rare opportunity for large groups to holiday in style - ideal for celebrating together, yet with plenty of space to retreat.


Beautifully curated with designer furniture and elegant soft furnishings, both 2000 sqft apartments blend contemporary sophistication with relaxed coastal living. Eight boutique-style bedrooms with sumptuous Savoir beds promise deeply restful nights, while expansive open plan living spaces and sea-facing terraces invite long, sociable evenings overlooking the ever-changing horizon.


With private parking for four cars and the white sands of Porthminster just a gentle stroll away, this is Cornish coastal living at its most indulgent - ideal for milestone celebrations, multi-generational gatherings or unforgettable escapes with friends.

Step Inside

From the moment you step through the doors of Chy Vista and Albany View, a sense of light and space unfolds. Central hallways lead into breathtaking open plan living and dining rooms, where full-height glass doors frame the sea beyond like a living work of art.


Gather around generous dining tables for celebratory suppers as the sky turns pink over the bay, or sink into plush seating with the doors thrown open to the salty air. These are spaces designed for togetherness - for laughter, storytelling and the simple pleasure of being by the sea.


The sleek, contemporary kitchens are as practical as they are beautiful, featuring composite stone worktops and integrated appliances that make everything from lazy brunches to evening feasts a joy to prepare. Separate utility spaces and stylish bathrooms complete the thoughtfully designed ground floors.


Upstairs, eight serene bedrooms await across the two properties. Sea-facing master suites offer the luxury of waking slowly to sparkling water views, while additional king and flexible super king zip-and-link rooms provide comfort and versatility for every guest. Soft linens, calming interiors and beautifully finished ensuites create a boutique hotel experience with the privacy of your own coastal home.


On Your Doorstep

Morning swims, sandy toes and sunset strolls are all part of daily life here.


Both apartments offer two outdoor spaces - a private rear courtyard and a larger sea-facing terrace or courtyard garden to the front - perfect for coffee in the morning sun or alfresco dining as the light fades across the water.


From your elevated vantage point, wander down into the heart of St Ives in minutes. Spend carefree days hopping between Porthminster, Porthmeor and Harbour Beach, paddle-boarding in clear sheltered waters or browsing the town’s independent galleries and boutiques. Savour fresh seafood overlooking the harbour, pick up warm pastries for the beach or simply pause and soak up the unique energy of this much-loved coastal town.


With four allocated parking spaces, adventures further afield are effortless. Explore the dramatic shores of Sennen and Porthcurno, lose yourselves in the charm of Mousehole and Newlyn, or stand at the edge of the world at Land’s End. The very best of west Cornwall is within easy reach.


Whatever the season, Chy Vista & Albany View invite you to experience coastal living at its most elevated - where space, style and sea views come together beautifully.
