This plush condo is so close to the sea you can watch the boats drift by from the cooling waters of your private plunge pool. A little path through the palms leads straight to a private slice of sand on Reeds Bay where crystal shallows are perfect for paddling, swimming and boating. The condo’s terrace makes the most of the sea view, set up with a comfy outdoor sofa suite and dining for six. A personal chef means you can dine alfresco without having to lift a finger. Inside, coral stone floors are cool underfoot and painted white wood and turquoise accents give a beachy vibe to the place. Throw open the big, arched glass doors in the living room and master bedroom to let the sea breeze flow through.
