On the famous Halkidiki peninsula, this lavish villa sits within an exclusive resort with bags of amenities on its doorstep. This place is for those that like a little independence, like a full kitchen, living room and sundeck with a private swimming pool, but enjoy the convenience of an onsite gourmet restaurant and a private slice of sandy beach at their disposal. Out on the sundeck, there’s nothing but the cheep of birds in the trees and the trickle of the waterfall filling the pristine swimming pool. During the day, it’s all about lying on a lounger and soaking up the rays, but when the sun sets, the view is simply stunning with islands silhouetted against the ocean and sky. A corner wall of windows means you can enjoy this view from the kitchen while mixing some drinks for the group. The living room is a haven of modernity with a striking red chaise longue juxtaposed against the slate-grey sofa. When it comes to exploring, you’ll find the resort is home to kids’ playparks, bars and a gourmet restaurant. Just 200 metres away you’ll find the soft-sanded beach lined with loungers and day beds for a day in the sun.
