5 Star / Luxury Stays

Devon is a very popular choice for a luxury short break and boasts an array of top quality hotels, boutique bed and breakfasts and 5-star holiday apartments, many with luxury spas and spectacular sea views. Over recent years a number of top-quality restaurants, waterside cafés and cocktail bars have opened in Torquay and Brixham with local fish and seafood now such a local speciality, that the English Riviera has become renowned as England’s Seafood Coast.

Choose from award-winning 5-star luxury including popular seaside hotels like the Imperial Hotel, Torcroft, Somerville or the multi award winning The 25 Boutique B&B all located in Torquay, and delivering the very best in décor, services, and hospitality.

Providing first class service, the very best facilities, and a warm welcome, you can find five-star luxury and boutique holiday accommodation right across the English Riviera, many with spectacular sea views and ranging from chic boutique bed and breakfasts and luxurious ultra-modern holiday apartments, including the Muntham Apartments and Town House in Torquay.

Torquay’s Luxury Hotels

The thriving hub of the English Riviera is Torquay. For well over a century this charming seaside town has been attracting the well-to-do, thanks to its bracing sea air, and bold, vibrant character. Over the years, hotels in Torquay have prided themselves in providing visitors with five-star luxury including the Cary Arms & Spa situated in a spectacular coastal location – it’s dog friendly too. Our luxury hotels and boutique bed and breakfasts put the customer experience at the very centre of everything they do, providing outstanding customer service, and luxurious 5-star standard rooms.

Luxury Spa Hotels and Beach Huts!

Devon’s spa hotels offer everything from detoxes to refresh mind, body, and soul, through to luxurious massages, treatments, and therapies, all topped off with gourmet food and that most precious of commodities, a spectacular sea view. The Cary Arms & Spa provides all those things with the exclusive and luxurious Beach Huts and Seaside Suites for special nights away.

Alternatively, there are plenty of small and charming luxury pads in the villages of Brixham, Cockington or Babbacombe, many of which are acclaimed for their excellence and have been recognised as some of the South West's leading luxury holiday accommodation.

Small is Beautiful in Cockington

Five-star luxury doesn’t necessarily mean grand, sweeping hotels with state rooms and magnificent entrance halls. Sometimes, small is beautiful, and you’ll find bijou five-star opulence in Cockington’s charming cottages. Every detail has been carefully thought out, right down to the luxury soap in the bathrooms. Surrounded by stunning gardens, you’re just a walk from the magnificent Cockington Court and Country House. Your four-legged friend is welcome too, so everyone can enjoy a charming cottage holiday with every kind of luxurious touch for the ideal break away.

It’s time for a little luxury, with five-star luxury and boutique accommodation in Devon that is guaranteed to make your holiday here one to remember. The English Riviera: Torquay, Paignton, Brixham and Babbacombe has 22 miles of stunning coastline and plenty of secret surprises and hidden luxury gems.

To find out more about five-star accommodation and for details on booking and availability, browse our website and pick your perfect luxury getaway on the English Riviera, Devon’s Beautiful Bay!
