Senara

Introduction

Flamingo pink sunsets, picnics on the beach and morning dips in the ocean before even the keenest of surfers have made their way to Gwithian’s blue shores; life at Senara is an idyllic one. The outdoor pool is the centrepiece from May to September, while the hot tub, fire pit, games barn, and sauna give the home a year-round appeal. Even in winter, when the winds whip the waves into a frenzy and frost glitters the sand, this luxury self-catering home offers warmth, a sense of togetherness, and the promise of adventure.

Inside

Scandinavian vibes and large basket pendants; the interiors of Senara were built on the fundamentals of chic beach house style. Wall-to-wall white reflects the waves crashing on the horizon, while exposed wood cabinetry mimics the brown sugared sands where the sea meets the land just over the hedges. The first floor is where the most magnificent of views can be found; a laidback space for family living Cornwall-style. Six large bedrooms continue the theme inside, followed by the seventh bedroom suite which resides in the self-contained annexe.

Outside

A true oasis, spend languid days in Senara’s acre of garden, alternating between the pool and the pool house, making jugs of iced lemonade and mojitos. On rainy days, the games barn offers entertainment, complete with a pool table and an arcade machine. After a dinner served from the al fresco kitchen, sink into the hot tub or warm up in the sauna before watching the moon rise from behind the sea. Be sure to also catch a matinee at the Minack Theatre nearby, a unique cliffside venue that you'll see echoed in Senara’s very own amphitheatre.
