Love at First Sight

Set in the beautifully glorious Isles of Scilly is the Karma St. Martins hotel, next to powdery white sands, crystal waters and plenty of natural beauty; you will forget you are still in the UK. The quaint hotel doesn’t look like a hotel, but more like a small hamlet of cottages which offers sumptuous sea views from each room, along with an indoor swimming pool, fine dining and the tranquillity of the islands with the beach quite literally on your doorstep this hotel is perfect for real beach lovers.

Romance

The Karma St. Martins is reachable by boat and guests arrive in their secluded spot via a jetty. The exotic feel of the islands lends its self to feeling much further away then just off the coast of Cornwall. Guests can truly relax on the beach, or roam around the island by themselves finding a quiet corner for a romantic picnic and bottle of bubbly to celebrate a special occasion. If you fall in love with the beautiful setting, marry the one you love here with a beautiful beach wedding at the hotel.

Your Stay

The Karma St. Martins offers 30 guest rooms, all of which have stunning ocean views and overlook Tean Sound and Tresco. The hotel offers premier rooms which have been specially designed in order to encourage the best nights sleep possible and rejuvenation guests. Hear the soft sound of the ocean lapping in the distance and appreciate the modern and chic décor of the rooms and bathrooms, with a touch of seaside glamour in light blues. All rooms are perfectly peaceful, have Wi-Fi, include designer toiletries and the essential little luxuries.

What to Do

There are plenty of leisurely activities to indulge in, enjoy a treatment at Karma Spa, stroll along the powdery white sand or play games and activities in the wine lounge and vinyl room. When you’ve had enough of that spend a day at the beach, which are known to be some of the best in the British Isles, snorkel with seals or head to the nearby Abbey Gardens. Go further afield and take a boat back to the Cornish coast and explore the most southern tip of Cornwall and the UK at the famed Land’s End, where the white signpost points out across to America over the ocean.

The Food of Love

From our local fishermans seafood platter or a freshly caught lobster delicacy to a delicious afternoon cream tea or pasty picnic on the beach, there is a range of locally sourced cuisine available our Cloudesley Shovell restaurant. Flavours are fresh and delicious, with a touch of the unexpected. Guests can eat here for breakfast, lunch and dinner and can enjoy light bites during the daytime, which are all well presented and matched with excellent service. Head to the bar for post dinner cocktails with a view sitting either inside or explore unique wines from the state of the art 'wine emotion' dispensing system.
