Moonjar

Located high above Porthminster Beach and the sweeping waters of St Ives Bay, Moonjar makes an unforgettable first impression, pairing an exceptional setting with beautifully considered interiors and a calm, luxurious atmosphere.

Arrive into the central hallway and ascend to the lofty penthouse level, where the open plan living, dining and kitchen space unfolds in a wash of natural light and instantly draws the eye to the uninterrupted sea views beyond.

This is the true heart of the house, a wonderfully sociable and light-filled space where family and friends can gather in comfort and coastal style, whether over slow breakfasts, long lunches or relaxed evenings together.

The sleek modern kitchen is exceptionally well equipped for holiday cooking, with every detail thoughtfully chosen to complement the home’s elegant seaside setting, while the open layout makes it easy for conversation to flow as drinks are poured and plans are made.

At the centre of it all, the Conran-designed oak dining table comfortably seats up to six, offering the perfect place for memorable meals together, while tri-fold doors can be pulled back to invite in the sea air and create an effortless alfresco feel.

At the end of the day, sink into the soft sofas and watch the changing light over the bay, or in the cooler months settle in for an afternoon of storm watching with a good book and the Cornish coastline as your backdrop.

The bedrooms are arranged across the first and ground floors, each beautifully furnished with luxurious five-star beds and mattresses to ensure a deeply restful night’s sleep.

The indulgent principal bedroom offers a super king-size bed and a stylish en suite bathroom, creating a peaceful sanctuary where waking to the gentle sound of the sea feels wonderfully special.

A second bedroom is also located on the first floor with an adjacent cloakroom, while the ground floor is home to the family bathroom, complete with a deep bath and ample space for a soothing post-beach pamper.

Also on this level are the third bedroom and a tucked-away snug, offering a quiet retreat from the sociable penthouse space above and a welcome place to read, rest or simply enjoy a little extra room to spread out.

Throughout, Moonjar has been finished with great care and personality, from nautical stripes and cool coastal tones to surf-inspired artwork and beach scenes that bring the spirit of St Ives indoors.

Far more than simply a holiday home, Moonjar is a stylish and luxurious family base from which to experience the beauty, energy and coastal magic of West Cornwall.

From the living space, the tri-fold doors slide effortlessly open to welcome in the salty sea air and gentle rhythm of St Ives life below, creating a wonderful inside-outside feel that makes every meal and quiet moment feel all the more special.

With the doors fully opened, the penthouse level becomes an inviting space for long, sociable lunches, relaxed evenings and slow mornings spent soaking up the atmosphere of the bay from the comfort of your own luxurious retreat.

Below, a small slate courtyard accessed from the ground floor bedroom and snug offers another peaceful place to pause, where wooden steamer chairs invite you to recline, unwind and watch the boats drift by.

Perfectly placed for exploring, Moonjar allows you to wander down into the heart of St Ives in under fifteen minutes, where the white sands of award-winning Porthminster Beach and the celebrated Porthminster Beach Cafe await.

From dawn until dusk, the harbour is alive with colour and energy, yet still retains the timeless beauty that has made St Ives one of Cornwall’s most iconic and captivating seaside towns.

Lose yourself in the hidden lanes and winding streets, where independent galleries, artisan potteries, chic cafes and characterful little shops sit alongside the traditional charm of this much-loved harbour town.

St Ives has a rare way of blending its artistic spirit and cosmopolitan edge with the warmth and authenticity of old Cornwall, making every visit feel both vibrant and deeply atmospheric.

For those keen to explore further afield, Moonjar also offers easy access to the South West Coast Path, with some of the county’s most spectacular coastal walks right on your doorstep.

Head west to discover the drama, myth and wild beauty of Cornwall’s far western tip, or follow the coastline south for maritime towns and picture-perfect coves that make unforgettable day trips.

Check into penthouse luxury at Moonjar and experience St Ives in effortless style, where sea views, coastal charm and contemporary comfort come together beautifully.
