The Five-Star Weekend has put the glamorous group getaway firmly back on our screens. Set around an extravagant gathering at a beautiful Nantucket home, the series captures the appeal of bringing friends together under one roof for an escape from the day-to-day. Following in the footsteps of Netflix hit The Perfect Couple, TV has reignited our love of the luxury house getaway.
While the on-screen drama is best left behind, the beautiful settings are enough to have many of us browsing holiday homes of our own. Inspired by the series, Perfect Stays selected five of their most impressive holiday homes for set-jetting fans to book, no flight ticket required, with tips on how to expertly plan a big group getaway to the South West.
Perfect Stays’ Top Five Homes for a Lavish Group Getaway
Think The Five-Star Weekend or The Perfect Couple, just with fewer secrets and a better itinerary. From watersports and private dining to yoga and pilates classes, Perfect Stays’ inclusive Concierge Service can arrange it all, leaving the group free to enjoy the stay.
Rosevean, Constantine Bay, Cornwall
Sleeps 14–16 guests across eight bedrooms
Rosevean is designed for the kind of group holiday where everyone can be together without spending every moment in the same room. Its wraparound garden has several separate seating areas, so children can play and couples can find a quiet corner. The whole party can then reunite around the outdoor dining table before evening cocktails by the fire pit. With seven beaches within a 10-minute drive of Constantine Bay, guests could book a group surf lesson through Perfect Stays’ Concierge team or simply enjoy the breathtaking scenery with a walk along the coast.
Red Cove, Mawgan Porth, Cornwall
Sleeps 10-12 guests across five bedrooms
Set above Mawgan Porth Beach, Red Cove has all the ingredients of an opulent group escape, from its sweeping Atlantic views and striking contemporary design to its private outdoor spa. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living space provides a natural setting for celebratory dinners, whilst outside, guests can move between the heated pool, hot tub and triple Iglu sauna. Board storage, wetsuit drying rails, dunk tanks and an outdoor shower make beach days effortless.
A garden gate leads directly onto the South West Coast Path, so guests can reach the beach on foot, while the Concierge team can arrange taxis for evenings further afield.
Noordhoek, Porthcothan, Cornwall
Sleeps 12–16 guests across six bedrooms
Just 10 strides from the entrance to Porthcothan Bay, Noordhoek makes it easy for a large group to embrace different holiday rhythms. Early risers can head straight to the beach for a morning swim, while others linger over coffee on the glass-fronted terrace. A six-person bunk room is ideal for younger guests, while the separate garden annex houses a yoga studio, additional bedroom and kitchenette, ideal for grandparents or another family.
To make full use of the facilities, ask the Perfect Stays team to book a yoga or pilates instructor to start the day. In the evening, begin with drinks passed through the games room’s purpose-built serving hatch, followed by a pool tournament and an alfresco dinner prepared in the outdoor kitchen.
Clifftop, Bigbury-on-Sea, Devon
Sleeps 14 guests across seven bedrooms
Clifftop turns the ever-changing Devon coastline into the backdrop for the entire stay. Its spacious kitchen and dining area is the perfect setting for celebratory suppers, before the party moves onto the west-facing balcony for sunset. Those seeking relaxation can begin the day with coffee above the waves, then unwind in the sea-view hot tub or wood-clad sauna.
Bigbury Beach is within walking distance, while nearby Burgh Island can be reached across the sand at low tide, or aboard its famous sea tractor when the tide comes in.
Constantia, Constantine Bay, Cornwall
Sleeps 12 guests across six bedrooms
Constantia is the sort of group holiday home that looks ready-made for a glossy Netflix series. Set along a quiet Cornish lane, it is a five-minute walk from both Constantine and Treyarnon Bay, with plenty of space to come together or enjoy a little time apart.
Outside, the South African-inspired gardens feature a generous dining area, fire pit and Braai barbecue fit for large social gatherings. A private sauna and hot tub are on hand for recharging after a day at the beach.
Perfect Stays’ Tips for a Successful Group Holiday
Book as early as possible: Larger holiday homes can be among the first properties to fill up, particularly during school holidays and around major celebrations. Confirming dates early gives the group the best choice of homes and bedrooms. Perfect Stays has already released availability for 2027, offering staycationers the best chance of securing their favourite house, at a time that suits them.
Create a group chat: Set up a WhatsApp group to keep travel plans, activity ideas and important booking details in one place. Having all guests involved in the chat saves a huge amount of planning time, as you don’t need to have multiple conversations with different groups. It is also an easy way to build excitement before the trip!
Book a few activities in advance: Travelling with a large group can make activity planning more difficult. Having two or three experiences in the diary helps avoid the daily ‘what shall we do today?’ debate, without making the holiday feel over-planned. Watersports, boat trips and private dining experiences in the home are some of Perfect Stays’ top picks for large group stays, and all can be booked through the inclusive Concierge Service. National Trust, English Heritage and Forestry England sites also offer a wealth of activities for all ages.
Taking the hassle out of holiday planning, Perfect Stays’ inclusive Concierge Service can book all activities for you, whether it’s a day trip or experience inside the holiday homes. With the perks of a five-star hotel in the privacy of a luxury rental – book now for the ultimate off-screen getaway.
