The villa is comprised of two levels, the pool level where you will find the main living areas, and the top level where the bedrooms can be discovered. The terrace directly combines with the living area, as the large floor to ceiling windows slide back and blends the space into one. This space is very open and airy as you sit back in the plush sofas and watch some television if you wish. The area is designed with some designer pieces. The living space is also connected with the open design kitchen area that comes fully equipped and ready for you to try out some new recipes or maybe an old time favourite. There is a smaller indoor dining area with a quaint teak table seating six guests. The outdoor dining area is located just from here and seats up to ten guests. You can have the area open or covered if you wish. On this level, there is an additional bathroom stylishly decorated in marble mosaic and fitted with a shower.

Venturing up into the upper level of the house you will come across the master suite which is fitted with a large double bed and has access to the main bathroom with a hydromassage bathtub. This bedroom also has access to its own private Balcony. The second double bedroom and the twin room are also very luxurious and spacious each with its own special character and décor.

All the bedrooms have captivating views of the bay and the lush landscape not only from the verandas but also from the beds. They feature high-resolution televisions and a lovely mini-bookcase.
