4 The Reach at South Sands, Salcombe

The apartment features stunning design and décor throughout, with the main living space striking a beautiful balance between elegance and practicality. Soft leather sofas and stylish armchairs invite you to unwind after a day at the beach. You’ll find a Bang & Olufsen television and sound system, creating the perfect entertainment space for movie nights. There’s also a record player in the dining area for setting the mood for supper. Books, board games and a chess set are included for relaxed evenings in.

French doors open directly from the living area onto the sea-facing balcony. From this vantage, you can watch the tide roll in and out across South Sands, boats drifting across the water and swimmers enjoying the sheltered bay below. The balcony itself is beautifully styled with outdoor seating — the perfect place for breakfast in the sunshine or sundowners with a glass of champagne.

The kitchen is equally impressive — sleek, beautifully finished and exceptionally well-equipped. Warm timber cabinetry and crisp white surfaces give the space a contemporary feel, while the high-spec appliances make cooking here a pleasure. The island doubles as a breakfast bar, with four Philippe Starck-designed chairs. Finishing touches include polished copper Melt pendant lights by Tom Dixon, a Dolce & Gabbana Smeg kettle and toaster, and Le Creuset crockery.

Both gorgeous double bedrooms are en-suite and have Bang & Olufsen televisions. The master bedroom is furnished with a super king-size bed, while the second twin room has the option of being joined to form a super king for flexibility to suit all guest parties. For added indulgence, fluffy robes, Dyson hairdryers and Hermes toiletries are provided.

The stunning South Hams town of Salcombe sits on the Kingsbridge Estuary along the South Devon coastline, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

And when you’re not spending time on the water, there’s plenty to see and do. The town is peppered with fabulous independent shops, boutiques, restaurants, cafes and delis. The award-winning Salcombe Gin Distillery offers visitors a gin-making experience and tasting sessions, while Salcombe Dairy offers a more family-friendly ice-cream and chocolate tasting experience. Of course, boat, kayak and paddle-board hire is plentiful, along with scuba diving experiences, guided seal walks and sailing lessons.
