Kaywana Hall

South Devon conjures images of families playing in the sand – all Enid Blyton nostalgia and buckets and spades. After all, popular resorts such as Paignton and Torquay are just along the coast. However, the adults-only Kaywana Hall bristles against these seaside tropes, with its spiralling Le Corbusier-inspired architecture, glassy walls and pool lending an LA vibe that’s heightened by its history as a Swinging Sixties hotspot. Rooms today come with a separate entrance and a sun terrace.
