Group appeal

Self-catering stays with sea access, spa facilities and Falmouth’s exciting calendar close at hand.

At the eastern curve of Gyllyngvase Beach, St Michaels Resort has long occupied a particular niche in Falmouth’s hospitality scene, the epitome of a well-run and comfortable hotel catering to guests who intend to stay a while.

Although the hotel and spa are known in their own right, it is the resort’s self-catering apartments that increasingly draw families and groups of friends looking for space and flexibility during their stay.

Set just above or a short stroll from the sands of Gylly Beach, the resort’s self-catered apartments place guests firmly within reach of the shoreline and the wider resort. Arranged across a range of buildings and layouts, they are designed with shared stays in mind, offering generous living areas alongside well-equipped kitchens and dining spaces that make time together feel easy rather than improvised. Whether travelling with children, extended family or friends, guests can settle into a rhythm that suits them, without forfeiting the amenities of a full-service resort.

Every apartment booking includes access to St Michaels’ Health Club, a significant draw in itself. The indoor pool and gym are shared by guests and members, creating a relaxed, lived-in atmosphere rather than something purely transient. Early swims, restorative sessions after coastal walks, or a straightforward workout before breakfast all slip naturally into the day. For many visitors, having everything close at hand removes the need to choose between venturing far afield or staying close to home base.

Location plays its part too. Gylly Beach is moments away, while Falmouth’s town centre can be reached easily on foot along the seafront. The town’s lively events calendar adds further incentive. Spring brings the Falmouth Spring Flower Show at Princess Pavilion, followed by Falmouth Pride in April and the Food Festival in May. In June, the Sea Shanty Festival returns, with St Michaels acting as one of its hosts, bringing music and colour directly to the resort. For the latest offers on self-catered apartments, guests are encouraged to visit the St Michaels Resort website, where new incentives are introduced regularly.
