Your Private Retreat by the beach, with Heated Pool
Sweeping sands and long coastal rambles, sitting in the shallows watching as the children jump over foaming waves… We do like to be beside the seaside, don't we?

Toe-dipping in the shallows, coastal walks under flaring sunsets; our unique coastal home offer an exclusive sanctuary that will delight even the most discerning guests.
This luxury self-catering beach home, white-washed and exquisitely designed, is perfectly located for heading off along the coast. With impeccable sea views, will be your ideal sanctuary for your long awaited holiday break, a beach-based property, offering absolute privacy & a private beach only for you, right in front of the villa- a deck with an umbrella is also there at your exclusive disposal.
Days by seaside are as iconic as the soft-whip ice cream with which they go hand-in-hand. With freckled, salt-kissed faces and tousled hair, retreat to the serenity of a luxury coastal holiday home, where the only thing left on the agenda is to relax with a full glass of delicious wine from the fridge, as children sleep and the sun melts into the ocean. Blazing summer days invite skinny dips and afternoons of sunbathing under a vintage parasol, whilst mojitos are best enjoyed around the pool under the hot sun.
