Villa Living

Casa do Morro

Trancoso

Laidback, glamourous and undeniably cool, Trancoso is arguably one of Brazil’s hippest beach destinations. Caso do Morro, a 5 bedroom villa only 1km away captures the essence of Trancoso living. Perfect for entertaining, the villa has large open air living spaces with views of the palm fringed beach, hammocks slung out across the thatch pavillion, a large barbeque area and outdoor pool.

Casa Paraty

Paraty

Do as the Brazilians do and rent yourself a beach house for an exclusive, luxury holiday that’s more affordable than you might think. Casa Paraty is a four bedroom restored colonial mansion complete with swimming pool tucked away behind an understated exterior and walled garden in one of our favourite coastal towns in Brazil.

Casa Cairucu

Paraty

Accessed only by boat, Villa Casa Cairucu sits overlooking the clear, protected waters of a bay in one of Brazil’s most spectacular settings, close to Paraty.

Cuixmala

Pacific Coast

Cuixmala is a 25,000-acre private estate acquired by the late Sir James Goldsmith as a private home. Now its villas and casitas set in lush vegetation on a three kilometre golden sand beach offer the ultimate in privacy, luxury and pure relaxation. A treat.

Amanruya

Turkey

The blissful stillness at Amanruya belies the myriad of classical mythology and history that surrounds it. Hidden amongst ancient pine forests, and hugging the fabled coastline where Homer’s heroes were born, few places combine nature and culture as beautifully as Amanruya.

Borgo Santo Pietro

Tuscany

With just eight rooms and oodles of character, Borgo Santo Pietro is one of our favourite Tuscan hideaways.

Elounda Gulf Villas and Suites

Crete

The family-run private Elounda Gulf Villas and boutique hotel are set in a spectacular location, offering the best of both worlds: the privacy of a villa with the service of a hotel.

La Reserve Ramatuelle Villas

Cote D'Azur

Location, location, location. La Reserve Ramatuelle Villas are close enough to St. Tropez for comfort, but far enough away for seclusion in the Provencal hills.

Luna 2

Seminyak

Luna 2 offers something a little different in Bali: an ultra modern James Bond-esque five bedroom villa and private pool, with the service of a boutique hotel. One of the few beach front villas in the heart of fashionable Seminyak, Luna2 is ideal for those looking for the privacy of a villa and the attention of dedicated hotel staff.

Round Hill

Exuding old school Caribbean charm, relaxed and elegant Round Hill is like a cashmere sweater, exquisite to experience, but not the least bit showy. This legendary Jamaican resort just gets better every year.
