Our Top 25 Ultra-Chic Luxury Beachfront Stays

8 January 2021

While rustic beach huts have a certain charm about them, some beach stays demand an extra helping of luxury.

We think there’s something utterly irresistible about the combination of a stylish design-led retreat, with atmospheric coastal scenery.

Those romantic, crashing waves and that huge, ever-changing sky become even more beautiful when viewed from the comfort of bespoke furnishings and gleaming mod cons, gorgeously soft blankets, and a crackling log burner.

So, if you’re in the mood to upgrade that traditional seaside break, why not take a look at our hand-picked selection of chic beachfront stays…

…without a Kiss Me Quick hat in sight?
