The Beach Club at Hotel Tresanton

Since its complete redesign by Olga Polizzi in 1997, Hotel Tresanton has been an enchanting spot to stay, play and get married. With 30 rooms and suites, a restaurant with large terraces, a room for private parties, a Dogs' Bar, a Beach Club and a private sailing boat, as well as a playroom and children's garden, its location in the pretty village of St Mawes has held appeal for many nearly-weds on the hunt for a wow-worthy venue.

Tresanton specialises in smaller, intimate weddings from 2 to 70. Imagine having Tresanton as your own private seaside abode; it's a magical place to call home for a weekend, with a focus on style, fine comforts and good food.

Now, for the first time in its 20-year history, the hotel is accepting bookings to get married outside at the sea-view Beach Club. From the blue-and-white parasols to the semi-tropical plants and azure waters below, the Beach Club wouldn't look out of place on a Mediterranean island.

Set just above the waterline of Tavern Beach, it's a hop, skip and jump across the road from the hotel, and is the perfect location to take your vows, with the backdrop of St Anthony's Lighthouse across the sea. To reserve a date for 2019, email leila@tresanton.com.
