It has been confirmed that all future accommodation bookings have been cancelled, although the administration does not affect any privately owned lodges. Staff from the joint administrators appointed by Kingfisher Una Resort Limited are attempting to contact everyone with bookings to confirm it will no longer be going ahead. The leisure facility on the site, including the pools, gym and spa, is owned by Carbis Club Limited, which it is understood intends to continue to trade on a limited basis.
However, the remaining freehold land and property at Una St Ives owned by the company - aside from completed lodges, villas and plots that are privately owned – will be put up for sale. It is an untimely end for the resort that only this spring was unveiling its latest villas in a multi-million investment project. Once just a caravan site, it had been transformed over the last decade by Kingfisher Resorts into an award-winning luxury resort that even hosted world leaders for the G7 Summit in Carbis Bay 2021.
On the back of a post-pandemic surge in staycations, Una St Ives saw strong trading figures and optimism was high. In February 2022 resort director James Hemming revealed a major £41 million investment to expand , saying it would create 300 local jobs – with the directors having already invested more than £8 million in its development works over the previous nine years. This included introducing 29 new lodges and an Atrium housing its award-winning Una Kitchen.
