Step Inside

Designed with grown-up gatherings in mind, Samsara sleeps up to eight guests across four beautifully styled bedrooms, each with its own en suite, offering every guest a private sanctuary to retreat to at the end of the day.


At the heart of the house is a spacious open plan kitchen, dining and living area, created for entertaining, unwinding and coming together in effortless style.


Floor-to-ceiling glass doors slide open onto a vast balcony, where mornings begin with yoga or coffee overlooking the bay and evenings unfold with drinks, laughter and sea air.


For a truly memorable celebration, invite a private chef to create a bespoke dining experience in the comfort of your holiday home, transforming supper into an occasion to savour.


The interiors are bold, playful and full of personality, with statement furniture, vibrant colour and quirky artwork sparking conversation at every turn.


From the Snoopy mural and surf-inspired pieces to eclectic design details throughout, Samsara feels creative, confident and as spirited as its Cornish setting.


When it is time to unwind, retreat to the private sauna and steam room, or sink into the bubbling hot tub beneath a canopy of stars after a day spent exploring the coast.


Outside, suntrap gardens dotted with sculptures and hidden seating spots create an atmospheric setting for everything from lazy afternoons with a book to unforgettable celebrations with friends.


This is more than a place to stay; it is a luxurious coastal escape designed for relaxing, celebrating and creating memories that linger long after you leave.

On Your Doorstep

Beyond the house, the best of West Cornwall is waiting to be explored, with scenic cliffside paths leading you towards St Ives and its irresistible mix of art, culture and coastal glamour.


Spend slow mornings wandering the harbour, watching boats drift across the bay, or charter a private boat for a day on the water, complete with champagne stops and hidden coves.


St Ives is a true destination for food lovers and those seeking a little indulgence, with Michelin-recommended dining, elegant beachside restaurants and stylish cocktail bars perfect for long, languid evenings.


Browse chic independent boutiques, discover handcrafted jewellery and coastal-inspired fashion, or spend an afternoon immersed in art at Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Museum.


For a more curated experience, arrange a private art tour, book a chef’s table or enjoy a spa day at one of the nearby luxury hotels, where sea-view treatments and rooftop terraces elevate relaxation to another level.


If you’re feeling creative, a workshop at the iconic Leach Pottery offers a beautifully mindful way to connect with Cornwall’s artistic heritage.


Beach days come effortlessly, with Porthmeor, Porthminster, Porthgwidden and Bamaluz all within walking distance, offering everything from surf and paddleboarding to sun-soaked lounging and sunset swims.


For a touch more seclusion, head further west to Sennen Cove or Gwynver, where sweeping sands and Atlantic drama create a breathtaking escape.


Iconic landmarks such as Land’s End, St Michael’s Mount and Cape Cornwall are all within easy reach, making every day an opportunity to explore somewhere extraordinary.


Whether you are sipping cocktails by the sea, indulging in exceptional dining or simply soaking up the effortless beauty of the coastline, Samsara is perfectly placed for a stay that feels both elevated and unforgettable.
