Partnerships

We’re proud of the relationships we create with both local and national businesses. Here’s who we have worked with in the past 12 months:

Interior Design Masters

• Hot on the heels of Banjo Beale being crowned winner of BBC One’s Interior Design Masters with Alan Carr, we unveiled our newly transformed Winnow in Watergate Bay as the prize transformation project.
• Banjo was chosen as the winner of the hit TV show’s third series by Head Judge and former Editor-in-Chief of ELLE Decoration magazine, Michelle Ogundehin.
• Working alongside the BBC, Interior Design Masters and Banjo Beale was an incredible experience for Beach Retreats reaching thousands of potential new guests that share the same values as us when it comes to interiors.

Awards

This year, we were announced as the winner in the 2022 Shortyz Awards for Most Effective Use of Social Media. And we’re shortlisted for the STAA property manager awards and the British Travel Awards this November.

Photoshoots

Anyone can go to a beach, but the freedom that comes with proximity is Beach Retreats through and through.

We love telling the story of being footsteps from the beach in all our marketing efforts and incorporate annual lifestyle shoots with top photographers into our messaging. Here are some of the teams’ favourite shots.
