Welcome to the Luxury Villa Resort UNA St Ives

With its famous beaches, turquoise waters, picturesque harbour and renowned art scene, St Ives is undoubtedly one of the UKs premier holiday destinations.

Once home to the St Ives School of artists, attracted by the unique quality of light in West Cornwall, this coveted seaside town is filled with atmospheric cobbled lanes, bustling restaurants and independent shops, as well as its very own Tate gallery and Barbara Hepworth Museum.

Imagined by the multi award winning Dyer Architects, Una St Ives is designed to blend seamlessly with the natural beauty of its location.

Fashioned with a preference for locally 1 sourced materials, our textured palette of stone, timber and glass feels classically Cornish with a crisp, contemporary twist.

Each villa features an inverted design that elevates the living space upstairs. From here, the natural hub of your home is perfectly positioned to take in the local landscape through refreshingly airy double aspect windows.

Every detail in each villa has been thoughtfully designed. From the sympathetic landscaping to the Scandinavian influenced interior styling and the careful placement of the properties themselves, which nestle into the natural fall of the land to maximise privacy and views.

Sustainability has driven decision making throughout. For example, rocks excavated during construction have been repurposed as retaining walls and paths. And every villa is heated with energy efficient air source heat pumps that significantly reduce power consumption.

ON YOUR DOORSTEP

Step outside the comfort of your villa to explore the impressive facilities on hand at Una St Ives.

Stroll through meandering paths illuminated with low level lighting to the perfectly heated infinity pool. Embrace the soothing heat of the cedar lined sauna. Or indulge in dinner and cocktails at the award winning Una Kitchen.
