Villas del Mar 369

It takes a lot to fill a 4,000-square-foot villa by the sea and Terraza 369 has made this into an art form, filling rooms with comfortable elegant furnishings that beg to be lounged on, and interior surroundings that make the most of what attention you can spare. Rich wood beams are complemented by carved wood cabinetry, sturdy hardwood tables, and precious old-world wood antique chests.

All this sits on shiny travertine tiles, making a play of the heavy and the light, the delicate and the durable for a stunning layout that pervades all the spaces in this five-bedroom, five-bathroom vacation villa by the sea.

Your entry here is into an airy foyer where you will be offered sweeping views of the ocean through a menagerie of windows. As you walk in further, the living room is offset by an ornate bar area on one side and an exhibition kitchen and breakfast room on the other. You can watch films or sports from the bar counter or the couch, or even the kitchen. But you will want to take your moment outside to a second living area just beyond along the patio and overlooking the pool. That is where you will spend most of your time, shaded but bathed in the honey of warm rays, comfortably relaxed amid cushiony furnishings and sun-drenched chaises by the infinity pool, eyes forever cast on the horizon.

The cooling pool flanks the length of the patio, punctuated by a Jacuzzi, all of it optimizing the mesmerizing vistas.

From the foyer, you can head upstairs to one of two master bedrooms. Each opens right up to a private veranda that you can practically step onto from the bed. Cozy chairs there facing the sea are meant to be shared in these intimate moments. Or spend the moment in an aromatic salt bath with a picture window framing the sea into a perfect vision of heaven. The sea air swirls around you as you take your first sips of the day's coffee feeling the slight chill from your quiet confines. Everything feels fresh and clean, sparking magical thoughts of what the day can bring.

Other bedrooms offer garden views and smaller queen beds. A fifth bedroom can be made of the couch in the media room, quite private and fine for that unexpected guest. There is plenty of room to roam and plenty of places to gather in Terraza 369. The open layout of the common areas ensures an easy flow from room to room, from inside to out.

Access to the private Palmilla Dunes Club is also included with this villa.

Access is limited to 6 guests at any given time and its subject to availability
