The art of extraordinary hospitality comes to life across Cornwall with a collection of new properties designed for restorative, five-star stays.
Cornish Gems, the award-winning luxury holiday home specialist, has welcomed four new properties to its portfolio, including two brand-new launches for 2026 and two homes recently reimagined by the Cornish Gems Interiors team.
With a belief that luxury is defined not just by beautiful spaces but by how those spaces make you feel, Cornish Gems delivers the sophistication of a five-star hotel experience alongside the freedom and privacy of an independent stay. Guests can elevate their break with a dedicated concierge service, offering everything from private chefs, in-house spa treatments and wellbeing classes to luxury boat charters, surf lessons and helicopter transfers.
Each property is chosen for its architectural merit, exceptional design and distinctive sense of place, spanning secluded farmhouses in the Cornish countryside to contemporary coastal homes in St Ives.
A B Corp accredited business, Cornish Gems has been curating luxury holiday experiences across Cornwall since 2007.
