Feel a gentle whoosh of sea breeze as you lounge outside on the spa terrace at one of Cornwall's newest boutique retreats. Sitting languidly above Portminster beach you get the best views of the area – and a spa treat to remember – at St Ives Harbour Hotel, hailed the latest hotspot for the hip and holistic. Wallow in the deep glassy waters of the indoor spa pool with its vast vistas and exposed brick walls; take your time in the crystal steam room and clear overworked minds, or work up a sweat in the techno terrific fitness area. Espa provides a decadent menu of face and body treatments, using only the finest ingredients and revered massage techniques.
