A Romantic Hideaway Above the Pacific

Across 1,000 sq ft / 93 m², the villa is built with local wood and ceramic tiling. An oversized couch rests on plush carpeting in a living room with hardwood vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that open onto the terrace.

Beyond the terrace is the Pacific. Take in the view from inside or out: stretch out on the lounger by your private plunge pool, or settle into the jacuzzi.

Our villas are individually crafted, with exclusive designs that captivate and inspire.
