The villa’s chic interiors blend modern elegance with earthy tones, creating a serene and inviting ambience. The main floor is home to a spacious open-plan living area. At one end, plush sofas surround a fireplace and TV, perfect for cosy evenings in. A 10-seat dining table provides space for elegant meals prepared in the adjoining kitchen, fully equipped with modern appliances.

Ideal for those travelling with children and teens, there is a second living room on the pool level. It offers a large flatscreen TV and a multimedia system for entertainment, along with a handy kitchenette for preparing light meals and snacks. For those who prioritise wellness, this level also features a private fitness and yoga room, and a dedicated massage room, ensuring guests can maintain their routines or indulge in rejuvenating treatments.

Six comfortable en-suite bedrooms are set across the main villa and a guest house located in the lower garden. Within the main villa, all five bedrooms boast sea views. The luxurious master suite has the whole first floor to itself and boasts a private sea-view terrace to the front, and a second furnished terrace with a sea-view Jacuzzi to the back. On the ground floor, there is one double bedroom with access to the main terrace, while the lower-ground floor features three double bedrooms, all with access to the pool area and gardens.

Finally, the open-plan guest house – located on the lowest level – features a double bed, a lounge area, and a convenient kitchenette with a small breakfast table. It opens out onto a private terrace and verdant garden area with partial sea views.

Along with the facilities of their private villa, guests also have access to the larger estate’s facilities, which include a private stretch of beach, a tennis court, a kids club, water sports facilities, and even a helipad.
