Positioned on a rugged mountain in Arco da Calheta and offering panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, this villa on the island of Madeira is the epitome of holiday relaxation. Inside, wood floors, white walls and a muted palette create a calming first impression, with sliding glass doors proffering picturesque vistas you can lap up from every room. Outside, a glistening pool awaits, framed by a glass wall inviting more uninterrupted views of the coast. While away the hours in the cool waters, sun yourself on the perfectly positioned loungers and look out onto the sparkling horizon. When you’re not spending time in your private oasis, drive just five minutes to Calheta with its golden sand beach and myriad activities, including picturesque mountain hikes, dolphin-watching and surfing. After a day of fun and relaxation, fire up the barbecue for a sunset alfresco feast before taking a final star-lit dip in the pool.
