Statutory warning: Everything in Cornwall is bound to leave you delirious with joy.

Do you subscribe to the view that holidays on the beach are too generic to be mesmerising after a while? Pick up any luxury tourist destination on the world map, and you are bound to stray into subjective territory by just reading about their apparent magnificence. The shimmering sapphire surf that flirts promiscuously with white sandy beaches, lush green tropical gardens that glow in fiery golden sunsets - the explosion of colour makes the landscape look like an esoteric work of art. But a few strokes later, you almost begin to spot a red herring.

But these fascinating hues continue to shine and glitter in Cornwall. And it is just not the exceptional scenic beauty of the place that strikes a chord with visitors.

The deluge of eco-friendly resorts, waterfront villas, wooden cabins, condos, holiday homes and other vacation rentals offer infinite lodging options to everyone, be it backpackers, cheap deal hunters or style-conscious travellers. Comfort in these accommodations extends beyond king-sized beds and affordable car rentals.

Gorging over pasties and freshly caught fish, long walks along surreal coastal pathways, horse treks in the countryside - the real action kicks off the moment you set foot in Cornwall. Legendary tales of King Arthur and his knights ensure a more than a fair share of surprise. With delightful sunset cruises and insightful excursions, this place can certainly weather many a storm. Sightseeing never elicited such piquant reactions.

A vacation in this idyllic destination is sheer poetry in living.

Get Your Groove Back

Cornwall's inimitable picturesque splendour is the stuff fantasies are made of. There are windswept cliffs, covered with impervious tropical jungles and limitless expanses of soft sand making a trespass on the island's legendary privacy.

But it takes more than picture-postcard locales to unlock the secrets of this fabulous location. Here's is the best way to unleash the hypnotic power of this exotic destination in your quiescent life.

Home is where comfort is

That is the mantra all-inclusive resorts and beachfront vacation rentals follow rather relentlessly. Luxurious vacation villas and holiday apartments in Bude are sure to floor you, just like the imposing family home situated at the top of the cliff above Greenaway beach. You could opt for the privacy of a stone and slate, environmental friendly holiday home nestled cosily amid hills or comfortable houses with breathtaking views of the invincible ocean from the balcony or porch. Aesthetically built cottages or wooden cabins standing tall under the shade of palm trees, the budget-savvy traveller can breathe easy.

You could be in London, Paris or New York, but you are never far away from the magic of Cornwall. Once here, you could be a voyager in the Christopher Columbus mould, and discover fascinating realms of this part of the United Kingdom. I would prefer to be a pirate, a la Captain Jack Sparrow, and find hidden treasure that would remain with me till the end of time.
