Chi An Mor

Chi An Mor Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Chi An Mor, I honestly wasn’t expecting much from the outside — it’s tucked away in a quiet residential area that feels more like a secret than a hotel location. But you know what? That’s exactly what makes this five-star boutique property so special. The moment you step inside, there’s this immediate sense of calm luxury that’s hard to describe — it’s like walking into someone’s incredibly stylish home rather than a typical hotel lobby.

Location Perfection

The location in Newquay is absolutely unbeatable, and I mean that. You’re literally a two-minute walk from Fistral Beach, which is perfect if you’re into surfing or just want to catch the sunrise without dealing with crowds. What I love most is how you can easily walk to the town center for dinner, but when you come back to Chi An Mor, it feels like you’re in your own private retreat. The parking situation is fantastic too — completely free, which is honestly rare for anywhere decent in Cornwall these days.

The Room Experience

My room was genuinely stunning, with floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the coastline perfectly. The attention to detail is what really got me — Egyptian cotton sheets, a rainfall shower that actually has proper pressure, and these little touches like locally sourced toiletries that smell incredible. The design strikes this perfect balance between contemporary luxury and coastal charm without feeling overdone or pretentious. I actually found myself just sitting by the window with my morning coffee, watching the surfers below.

Dining and Amenities

The on-site restaurant serves some of the best seafood I’ve had in Cornwall, which is saying something. They source everything locally, and you can taste the difference — the crab comes from boats you can literally see from your window. Breakfast is included and it’s proper good, not just continental nonsense. The spa is small but perfectly formed, offering treatments that use Cornish sea salt and local botanicals. It’s the kind of place where you book a massage and end up staying for three hours just because it’s so relaxing.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets Chi An Mor apart is how it manages to feel both luxurious and authentically Cornish at the same time. The staff know the area inside and out — they’ll tell you which beaches are best for sunset walks or where to find the best pasties in town. Couples absolutely love this place, and I can see why. There’s something romantic about the whole setup, from the intimate dining room to the way the rooms are positioned to maximize privacy and ocean views. It’s the kind of hotel where you actually want to spend time in your room, but you’re also perfectly positioned to explore everything Newquay has to offer.

The luxury concierge service in Cornwall secures after-hours garden illuminations, vineyard tastings, and yacht sunsets along the Roseland Peninsula.
