With a north-facing sea view, stunning at both sunrise and sunset, this home caught our eye thanks to its minimalist design and sprawling outdoor space. Spread over two independent villas, it's ideal for two families travelling together. There are even two pools here, and the downstairs bedrooms ensure the home is accessible to all. When you need to stock up, the city centre of Violi Haraki is just 4 kilometres away, while your host can book treats like a private chef or massages should you want to indulge yourselves.
