The Location
Positioned along Headland Road and commanding uninterrupted, frontline sea views with the beautiful beach at Carbis Bay taking centre stage, No. 4 is located within a short walk of the beach, one of the UK’s finest bays. Porthkidney Sands, a relatively well-kept secret, is just moments along the coast in the other direction, ensuring that the apartments at Gwel Marten enjoy a situation that is perfectly placed to enjoy golden sands, fresh sea air and all the fun of St Ives within a few minutes’ walk.
Paddleboarding, kayaking and surfing are all on offer, along with scenic walks and inspiring runs along the coast path, or a round of golf at the nearby golf club, one of Cornwall’s most breath-taking. The branchline railway provides a regular service to St Ives with a mainline connection at nearby St Erth meaning that day trips are easy and varied.
The clarity of light, sandy beaches and turquoise waters of the bays in this area have attracted artists and holiday makers to this idyllic seaside location since the 19th century. Carbis Bay was the venue for the G7 Summit in 2021 with the luxurious hotel providing idyllic beach-side dining.
With a rich history and fascinating seafaring heritage, the winding cobbled streets of nearby St Ives that were once the homes and inns of sailors and fishermen are now peppered with boutique shops, quality restaurants, pubs and cafes showcasing Cornwall’s fabulous delicacies.
