In Caribbean, Contemporary, estate, island, luxury, Nature, seaview

Live your island dream with a villa on Pink Sands Beach

Realise your Bahaman dreams with this beachfront villa on Harbour Island. This island, once the capital of the country, remains a glorious, charming and beautiful place to visit and enjoy. A nine-bed mansion across around 1,000 sq. m complete with pool, gym, cinema and your own piece of white-sand beach is the ideal place to lay your head as you make the most of all this island has to offer.

It’s not such a bad view from the pool…

Built in 2016, La Palmeraie Villa sits on the world-famous Pink Sands Beach and has been built to celebrate the natural splendour of the location and echo the calming vibe of island life with minimalist, stylish interiors.

The main living space is open plan and designed to be shared

The heart of the internal space is the large, open-plan living-dining-kitchen area that dominates the ground floor. There are multiple sitting areas and positions for dining tables, as well as wall-length bi-fold doors that can be opened completely to allow the occupants to flow seamlessly out onto the patio around the pool.

Opening the bi-fold doors allows the activity to flow out to the terrace and pool

And you will want to be outside more than in because those views are impossible to resist. The outdoor space around the villa has designed with consideration, providing areas for sitting and eating, both covered and basking in sun. An impressive outdoor dining area comes complete with an outdoor kitchen for creating mighty meals beside the sea.

Outdoor dining for a large group is made easy with a comprehensive outdoor kitchen

The pool is of the heated variety and accompanied by a 10-person Jacuzzi – that means water-based relaxation no matter what the weather is throwing at you. In addition to the outdoor shower and sun deck, there is also a private spa and steam room to complete the experience.

The air-conditioned home gym is spacious and well-equipped

Those with energy to burn will enjoy the air-conditioned home gym suite, while a more cosy way to spend an afternoon would be in the private home cinema which comes equipped with those huge armchairs you will melt into…

Plush seats and a large screen make the home cinema a real asset

There are nine bedrooms across the property, all of which have access to the balcony and a seating area for enjoying yet more eyefuls of the sparkling sea and blue skies.

All nine bedrooms have balconies and en-suite bathrooms

The bedrooms are spacious and exceedingly chic, and all have their own en-suite bathrooms that provide modern facilities with beautiful fittings; expect a luxurious hotel-level comfort each time you wash.

A tub with a view is the must-have feature – and this view is a beauty

The villa also has a self-contained two-bed apartment, complete with a living and dining area alongside a kitchen. This is ideal for multi-generational householders who prefer their own space but enjoy gathering to share the pool or evening meals.

A separate apartment suite complete with kitchen is ideal for visitors or older generations

Not only is the view to die for, the occupants of the villa can enjoy private access to a strip of beach where loungers and umbrellas provide the beach furniture for long lazy days. There is also a beach-hut for laying on your own refreshments.

The location couldn’t be bettered: Harbour Island is renowned as one of the most beautiful islands in the region and can only be accessed by boat, ferry, or chartered seaplane. This seclusion – and its small size at just 3.5 miles by 1.5 miles – gives those who come a sense of wonder and shared secrecy. It’s understandably become a popular spot for music and movie stars. The charming architecture, history, variety of eateries combines with the childish thrill of traversing the island by golf cart to make this a special place to call home, however briefly.

The island is car-free so expect to be driving a golf buggy when you finally leave your beach

If you don’t want to sail your yacht directly to the island, access is by flying to North Eleuthera Airport, before taking a taxi to the boat for a five-minute trip across the waves. Alternatively you could arrive by chartered seaplane from Florida or Nassau.

Your outdoor space is as beautifully designed and executed as the interiors, with various shaded and open terraces and a spectacular swimming pool (the salt water variety) with loungers. There is also access to a small private beach if you need to turn the view into a plunge.

The villa has access to a private beach for when you need to get your toes in the sea

Mykonos town – or Chora – is just ten minutes drive away and as pretty as a picture, with its car-free centre and charming knot of boutiques, cafes and restaurants. There is an international airport on the island (approx. 10 minutes drive from the villa) while ferries connect Mykonos with mainland Greece (Athens) as well as many of the other neighbouring islands.

Beachfront idyll in Koh Samui (Thailand), £6,600,000

On 25 September 2023

In Asia, Contemporary, island, Large grounds, luxury, Nature, seaview, Thailand

Resort-style living, with privacy…this would make a superb holiday home

Live the luxurious dream of island life by purchasing this impressive 9-bedroom beachfront property on Koh Samui. It’s situated in the island’s main town and slap-bang on the jaw-dropping Chaweng Beach.

The island’s Chaweng beach is well-known, stunning slice of coast

The whole property has a glorious outside-inside fluidity that maximises the stunning setting, with huge windows and fold-away glass doors that allows for a luxurious drift between the topical grounds and the elegant interiors.

The nine bedrooms are all very private and flow out into a small area of private terrace

The main living space is vast and open-plan, with a spacious flow between the sleek modern kitchen, the dining area and the lounging spaces. This impressive space is crowned by vaulted ceilings and contrasts black on white to make the room dramatic as well as comfortable.

Open-plan living, dining and cooking area allows for comfortable mixing of all householders and guests

From the kitchen, there are seriously convenient rooms tucked away for the owner’s benefit: a staff kitchen, storage room and guest toilet. And this being Thailand, where the food is world-renowned, you may find neither kitchen gets a lot of use, despite their elegance.

The elegant ‘public’ kitchen is supported by the staff kitchen, although you’ll be tempted out for Thai food at the nearby town

With so many delicious al-fresco terraces and a large pool area – with an infinity pool that stretches towards the ocean – it’s safe to say a lot of time will be spent out of doors, whether shaded or otherwise.

The pool is as elegant as the villa, while the view is provided by nature – and spectacular

For when the day is done, however, the house provides nine large bedrooms, all of which have stylish and luxurious en-suite bathrooms with rich details for that ‘wow’ factor.

Chic simplicity in interior design makes the bedrooms calming, all with exquisitely finished en-suite bathrooms

The bedrooms, like all other interior spaces, optimise the location and the natural light with huge windows and have direct access out to the pool area.

You’ll go in to brush your teeth and get tempted outside to the charming terrace area

This incredible villa is one of four secured properties in a small community, with shared access to a courtyard area where there is underground parking, a home-gym, a cinema room and a massage room. There are also management services available if required, which could help keep your property in good shape if you can’t always be there (but why wouldn’t you?).

Was there ever a better spot for some al-fresco dining and drinks? Watch the fishing boats as you sup

Within walking distance are a collection of excellent restaurants, bars, shops and local tourist attractions (for all those visitors who will rapidly invite themselves), such as tours to the elephant sanctuary or snorkelling/sightseeing tours to Angthong Marine Park.

The villa is one of four in a little community area, with shared facilities including a cinema and underground parking

For getting in and out, Koh Samui has a small international airport, with regular flights to Bangkok and beyond. There are also ferry services that connect Koh Samui to the mainland, with the quickest crossing taking 30mins to reach Koh Phangan.

Spacious, comfortable mansion on the stunning island of Skiathos

Nestled on the idyllic Greek island of Skiathos, Mediterranean Treasure is an enchanting 11-bed villa that would be ideal for large families seeking a combination of privacy, space and communal living in a luxurious setting.

Haven’t you always wanted your own beach?

The villa has private access to the crystal-clear waters via a secluded beach, so a short hop from your boat and you can be heading into the estate. For this is truly an Estate, with eight separate buildings and 11 bedrooms, allowing multiple groups or individuals to find their own slice of luxury.

Simplicity, elegance and comfort are the themes of the interior

Undoubtedly the group will gather in the main building, where multiple living and dining spaces suit both larger formal gatherings and smaller intimate groups, always with that distracting sea view.

Open-plan living spaces are modern in feel and large enough for the whole household

There is an elegant and well-equipped kitchen for meals and refreshments, with the open-plan design allowing for a natural spill-out into a space for eating around a table in addition to the main kitchen island.

The contemporary kitchen has plenty of space for preparation and chatting

That being said, it will be hard to resist taking meals al fresco at one of the many, strategically-placed terraces from which the natural splendour of the surroundings can lull you into a sense of calm.

The terraces are impeccably positioned to enjoy stunning sunsets over the sea

There is also a pizza oven and BBQ area for when proper outdoor cooking and entertaining is desired, and the large swimming pool is sure to compete with the private beach when it comes to cooling off during the hottest summer days.

The large swimming pool comes with an enchanting ocean view

The main villa building has five of the bedrooms accompanied by five bathrooms, all of which are charmingly designed for comfort and light, optimising the setting with well-positioned windows.

Bedrooms are large and serve as a blank canvas for new owners to make their own

The master bedroom is the grandest, with its impressive en-suite, while the various other bedrooms and living spaces are spread across the different cottages on the estate. This set-up makes the property ideal for multiple families, multiple generations, or even those who envisage welcoming a lot of visitors and guests.

More formal seating areas could suit entertaining important visitors

There is also staff accommodation for convenience, and the various bedrooms and cottages are designed to cater for different sized parties with different needs.

The setting and the view are absolutely the assets of this elegant mansion

For an extra temptation, the buyer of this property is eligible for the Greek Golden Visa Program, which could be useful if you’d like to spend more time on this beautiful droplet of land in the Aegean Sea.

Could you ever tire of taking your morning cuppa with that view?

Despite being a small island, Skiathos has an international airport, while ferries regularly connect it to the main port in Athens. There are over 60 beaches and a vibrant nightlight in the charming old town, with many restaurants, cafes and bars scattered across the island.
