We catch up with Louise Middleton, founder of the iconic Kudhva, a unique glampsite and events space welcoming surfers in Cornwall.


Warning: this interview will make you want to sell all your belongings, go buy land and follow your dreams (it did me anyway).


Louise Middleton is one of those people who makes you question your life choices (and then some). There’s a handful of people in the world who can take a dream and make it reality, but she is one of them.


She’s the founder of Kudhva, an iconic escapist retreat offering glamping and off grid living for surfing and those who love nature. It’s created from a 45 acre disused quarry, and was a dream for Louise to bring her love of surfing to others.


Louise is no stranger to the surf, and the entire project was borne out of her love for the ocean, and the need to build and to bring people together creatively. The space has become a go to location for brands like Patagonia and Finisterre, and the iconic structures that she installed in the space have built her a following in the design world as much as in that of the outdoors.


Unbelievably this journey started with Louise as a single mum, and with kids in tow, living in a caravan on the land as they planted trees and brought the space to life, starting with a road in and out of the property to allow any of the building to happen.


This interview is a big slap round the face to encourage you to live life in the moment and to chase down your dreams with the enthusiasm of a terrier, no matter what challenges come your way.
