Architecturally designed and finished by international designer, Garth Barnett, Villa Palma is a striking 6-star Mediterranean beach retreat offering unparalleled luxury and tranquility within a picturesque and protected setting, 3 hours north of Sydney.
Positioned within minutes walk of beautiful Diamond Beach and parkland reserve with its dolphin and whale watching viewing platforms, Villa Palma has been created for those who appreciate style, luxury and privacy. An inspiring retreat in a beautiful and natural beachside estate, Villa Palma is within a short drive to Tallwoods Country Club, with its superb golf course and dining facilities, and Wallis Lake, famous for its oysters and recognized as one of the Top Ten diving areas in Australia.
Entertaining is at the heart of this luxurious home, whether it be for a quiet time with family and friends or entertaining corporate clients to the highest standards. Glass sliding doors open from the formal and informal living areas, seamlessly connecting with the courtyards, the glass surrounded swimming pool and individual alfresco dining spaces. The wood-burning fires in both the living and dining areas provide a sense of romance in all seasons and the high ceilings and wide corridors complete the sense of space and volume of this exceptional retreat.
Each of the 4 double bedrooms has individually controlled air conditioning, with the Master Suite providing a luxurious Aman resort bathroom, complete with gondola bath and private terrace. The master bedroom, with views of the swimming pool, opens to a superb private north-facing terrace with beautiful views of Diamond Beach, the ponds and billabongs of the nature reserve and the mountains beyond.
Superbly styled, the furnishings reflect the extensive travel Garth Barnett has taken in selecting the best the world has to offer. Massive carved antique doors from India, stone works from Indonesia and Bali, beautifully inlaid cabinetry from Morocco, art works from Australia and Europe all combine to transport one to faraway and exotic lands whilst enjoying the luxury of this magical home.
The kitchen has been designed with the needs of a professional chef in mind and serves the requirements for both family and corporate entertaining. In a region renowned for its seafood and the famous Wallis Lake oysters, catering for family and friends in either the dining room or on the separate BBQ terrace with its views to the ocean and seating for 10, will be a memorable occasion.

This a fantastic place and the mangers Joel and Sam could not have been nicer people. I am torn between writing how I truly feel and wanting the place not to be too popular so I can book it every year. My family and I loved every minute of our 2 week stay and have booked another 2 weeks for 2013. Everything is close at hand from beaches to markets. The local produce is fantastic ( the rib eye from the local butchers is a must try on BBQ. ). The fit and finish is incredible and you feel like your in an exclusive private home from the sheets to beautiful artwork. I hope people look after this place so we can continue to comeback and relive all the fun we had
