Boasting spellbinding vistas across Bakoven’s soft-bouldered beach, this coastal villa promises a relaxing and memorable retreat with undulating sea views. Located in the energetic Camps Bay but tucked in a quiet neighbouring cove, you can savour the tranquillity this beachside location offers. The impressive indoor-outdoor living area provides the ideal spot to begin your days with a morning espresso overlooking the sea and an idyllic place for leisurely lunches with your loved ones. The soft, salty breeze will help you keep cool whilst the refreshing waters of your infinity pool offer a revitalising repose from the sun. While you could easily spend all day outside, step through the glass doors to be met with a tranquil blend of coastal and contemporary design. The living space is a focal point of this home – it’s minimally modern, comfortably homey, and seamlessly elegant. With huge picture windows that frame the Atlantic vistas and plush furnishings in the comfortable living room – you’ve got a light-filled oasis to unwind in. Factor in the calm, pared-back bedrooms, and you’ve got all you need for a blissful stay on the Cape Peninsula. Follow the views outside and you’ll find that this home provides ideal access to the... pristine coastline. From sunset beach walks and crystal-clear water swimming to sampling the vibrant cuisine and sundowners in the waterfront bars, there are endless ways to experience the local Cape culture.
