Summer by The Sea

Cornish luxury without fuss – this is St Michaels Resort in Falmouth.

St Michaels Resort in Falmouth offers a practical mix of comfort and good service just above Gyllyngvase Beach. It caters to a broad range of guests, whether they’re visiting for a short break, a family holiday, or time out with friends. The atmosphere is relaxed but professional, and the facilities are well-maintained and thought through without being showy.

The hotel has two restaurants. Brasserie on the Bay now serves a new menu created by Stephane Delourme, who previously spent 25 years at the Rick Stein group. Dishes focus on local produce from Cornish farms and waters, prepared to a high standard. For something less formal, Nourish is a café-style space with a broad selection of lighter meals – from salads and small plates to sourdough pizzas – with plenty of options for daytime dining.

Guests can use the on-site Health Club, which includes a large gym, swimming pool, sauna, steam room and a full programme of indoor and outdoor classes. Spa facilities are also available, including a hydrotherapy pool, outdoor sauna, cold plunge, as well as a sea-view hot tub. Treatments can be booked separately, and the space is designed to be used by day guests as well as those staying at the hotel.

The location is one of the hotel’s main advantages. Gyllyngvase Beach is just across the road, with paddleboards included as part of all room bookings. The South West Coast Path is close by, offering access to longer walks, and the town centre is within easy walking distance.

Overall, St Michaels is set up to offer a wonderful guest experience – combining good food, good leisure facilities and proximity to one of Cornwall’s most popular beaches. It suits guests who want structure without being micromanaged, and comfort without excess. Staff are attentive but not intrusive, and the range of facilities on offer means most guests can find what they need without leaving the site.
