Riviere Towans is one of Cornwall’s most iconic and best-loved holiday destinations. Derived from the Cornish word for ‘dunes’, the Towans offer a unique landscape of rolling grassy hills and hidden hollows, providing a sense of space and tranquility that you won’t find at a traditional, regimented holiday park.
Our chalets at Riviere Towans are perfect for:
Families: With 40 acres of open space to play and safe, shallow waters at low tide, it’s a natural playground for children.
Dog Owners: We offer a selection of dog-friendly chalets, and the beach is open to four-legged friends for the majority of the year (with only seasonal daytime restrictions in July and August).
Surfers & Water Sports: Situated in the heart of St Ives Bay, you are just a short walk from world-class surf breaks and the famous Gwithian Towans.
Each of our properties is privately owned and uniquely styled, ranging from traditional timber beach huts that offer a nostalgic Cornish holiday feel to modern, high-spec bungalows with panoramic views of the Atlantic.
Features of our Riviere Towans accommodation include:
Prime Locations: From our chalets are nestled in the dunes, and you can walk straight down onto the 3 miles of golden beaches.
Home Comforts: Fully equipped kitchens, comfortable living areas, and private decking for alfresco dining.
On-Site Convenience: Enjoy easy access to the local mini-market for daily essentials and the popular Bluff Inn, which offers family-friendly meals overlooking the bay.
When you stay at Riviere Towans, you are perfectly positioned to explore the best of West Cornwall.
Hayle Beach: Enjoy three miles of golden sands stretching from the Hayle Estuary to Godrevy Lighthouse. It’s a haven for sunbathers, walkers, and nature lovers.
Wildlife & Nature: The nearby Hayle Estuary is a renowned RSPB nature reserve, while the cliffs at Godrevy are home to a large colony of grey seals.
St Ives: Take the scenic coastal train from nearby St.Erth or Hayle station—one of the most beautiful rail journeys in the UK—to visit the art galleries, shops, and restaurants of St.Ives.
Family Days Out: We are just a short drive from Paradise Park Wildlife Sanctuary and within easy reach of St.Michael’s Mount and Land’s End.
Whether you’re looking for a quiet retreat to watch the sunset over St.Ives Bay or an active family holiday by the sea, our chalets at Riviere Towans provide the perfect base.
