At a glance
Panoramic Atlantic vistas from bedrooms, lounge and terraces Elegant design with sculptural staircase, bespoke furnishings and high-end finishes Generous outdoor space with terrace, balconies, BBQ and sea views
About the property
Ocean Skies pairs architectural flair with coastal elegance with its floor-to-ceiling windows, a sculptural spiral staircase, bespoke oak furnishings and rich finishes from leather Chesterfields to curated art combine to create a space that feels at once bold and comforting. Every room is framed by panoramic views of the Atlantic and terraces, balconies and elegant social spaces invite you to live in light, relaxing or entertaining with the sea as your constant backdrop. Just a short stroll from Porthtowan's golden sands and lively surf, with coastal trails leading to hidden coves, this wonderful holiday home offers such luxury and comfort that you may never want to leave.
The space
Step through the sleek front door into a dramatic foyer where the spiral staircase immediately draws the eye upward, promising wonder at every turn. The architecture flows subtly between levels, inviting movement through light and space.
The main living area is spectacular. Expansive glazing frames endless sea views and sliding doors open onto the terrace so indoor and outdoor living blend effortlessly. Chesterfield sofas, soft lighting, and elegant finishes make it equally inviting for relaxation or gathering.
Off the lounge, the snug doubles as a games room and flexible retreat. It features a comfortable sofa bed, smart TV, a collection of board games, and a desk for those who wish to catch up on work - all in a cosy, private corner.
A high-spec German Nolte kitchen anchors the home, with handcrafted cabinetry, granite surfaces, a sociable breakfast island and state-of-the-art appliances. Meals are shared around a bespoke Dekton dining table, and every moment is elevated by the ocean vista visible through the large windows.
Four bedrooms are designed to be restful havens. Three come with Ercol beds, while one is flexible (zip-and-link) and can be configured to suit your party. Two feature private balconies looking out to sea, and another offers a Juliet balcony. Floor-to-ceiling doors and blackout curtains ensure that views and privacy coexist beautifully.
Three en-suite shower rooms and an additional full bathroom offer luxury fittings, rainfall heads, and elegant tile work. Every bath and shower is designed to feel indulgent, with premium Villeroy & Boch fittings throughout.
The exterior is equally striking. A broad terrace is furnished for lounging and alfresco dining, complete with a Big Green Egg BBQ and luxury outdoor furniture. Balconies off several rooms invite you to breathe in the sea air at any hour. A dedicated surf shed stores boards and wetsuits, and parking with an EV charger adds thoughtful convenience.

Why they chose this property
Tucked away on Cornwall’s wild and wonderful north coast, Porthtowan is a dreamy destination that promises the perfect blend of natural splendor and modern indulgence—making it a top choice for a luxury staycation.
With its sweeping sandy beach, dramatic cliffs, and crystal-clear waters, Porthtowan captures the very essence of Cornwall’s coastal magic, while offering high-end escapes that cater to comfort, style, and relaxation.
At the heart of Porthtowan is its Blue Flag-awarded beach, a true jewel of the Atlantic coastline. The beach is ideal for everything from sun-soaked lounging to exhilarating surf sessions, and as the tide rolls out, tidal pools and hidden coves invite peaceful exploration. Framed by towering cliffs and wildflowers, the scenery is postcard-perfect, especially at golden hour when the sun sets over the sea in a spectacular wash of colour.
Gourmet lovers will feel right at home. Porthtowan’s food scene may be relaxed, but it’s anything but ordinary. Enjoy fresh seafood caught just offshore, artisan coffees, and fine wines from local vineyards—all served with a sea view. Whether you’re sipping cocktails at the legendary Blue Bar or indulging in a locally-sourced tasting menu, dining here is an experience in itself.
Adventure is always within reach. The South West Coast Path offers incredible cliff-top walks right from your doorstep, while nearby attractions like St Agnes, Chapel Porth, and the iconic Wheal Coates tin mine provide glimpses into Cornwall’s rich cultural and industrial heritage. Day trips to St Ives, Padstow, or the Eden Project are also easily doable, making Porthtowan a superb base for exploring the region in style.
Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a wellness retreat, or a stylish escape with friends, Porthtowan delivers the perfect mix of coastal calm and luxurious living. It’s a place where you can switch off, breathe deeply, and rediscover the magic of Cornwall—at your own pace, and in total comfort.
