It’s all about the location. Rainbow has a very special spot in St Ives Bay. Nestled in the Riviere Towans Chalet Park in Hayle (Towans is a Cornish word for “Dunes”), Rainbow is one of a unique collection of privately owned chalets set in 40 acres of dunes that have direct access to Hayle Towans Beach.
Rainbow is close enough to be able to hear the sea in the distance and feel the refreshing summer’s breeze, but tucked away with a sandbank behind it, and plenty of space around it.
Rainbow provides space, tranquility and fresh air….
And yet only a short stroll across the dunes or park to the glorious beaches and coastal paths….
