The Scarlet, Mawgan Porth, Cornwall
Set on the clifftop overlooking the spectacular Cornish coastline, the freshwater pool at the Scarlet is fringed with reeds and studded with granite rocks, giving it a wonderfully un-hotel, wild swimming feel. Warm up afterwards in one of the log-fired hot tubs, just along the hillside, or take a dip in the glass-walled indoor pool, part of the tranquil Scarlet spa. An adults-only retreat, the Scarlet is an indulgent treat, with seasonal, slow food and sustainable wines on offer in the smart, buzzy restaurant. Doubles from £240 room-only; scarlethotel.co.uk

Carbis Bay, Cornwall
