Staggering 360-degree panoramic views over the Atlantic Ocean will leave you awe-inspired from the moment you step out onto the dreamy terrace space here. Yet, the views can be enjoyed pretty much anywhere inside or outside the villa. Watch sailboats bobbing along from the infinity pool or while perched on one of the sun loungers during the daytime. And marvel in balmy evenings with a drink in hand from the stone outdoor dining area after spending fun-filled days exploring Madeira or relaxing on the beach. Combining contemporary furniture with antique pieces, the interiors offer a serene space that harmonises the natural surroundings with neutral hues and pops of turquoise blue in almost every room. Located just a three-minute drive from the resort town of Calheta, you'll find its golden beaches, bars, shops and restaurants within easy reach from here. Meanwhile, cultural excursions such as visiting Madeira's main art museum are encouraged as you'll find it just 800 metres away from the villa. Or why not visit the area's oldest sugar cane mill, which now stands as a museum open for visitors? A visit here is not complete without purchasing a bottle of quality local rum.
