You remember some holidays for years to come, and one at this villa is sure to fit that bill. This splendid home can be found on the grounds of an exclusive resort on Corfu – you have your own villa and private pool, but also have access to the resort’s facilities. For all the luxury and comfort of a five-star hotel and the space and independence of a villa holiday, you can’t do better. The only difficulty you’ll have is choosing which pool to swim in, where to sunbathe on the beach, and whether to have a yoga session on the deck in the morning or as the sun sets. The villa itself is well equipped with everything you might need close to hand. It’s been beautifully decorated with natural wood tones and a laid-back beachy vibe. Best of all, it has beautiful outside space so you can revel in the glorious good weather. We’d spend most of our time swimming in the private infinity pool and admiring the sweeping views of the Ionian Sea. Mediterranean trees and olive groves surround the grounds, adding privacy and a sense of tranquillity – you can really relax here. After a day in the sunshine, you might sink into the master suite’s deep bathtub for a soothing soak – or, to take your relaxation to the next level, you might make use of the resort’s holistic spa. As the sun sinks lower in the sky, head out to the terrace to sip cocktails while drinking in the view of the Bay of Beniteses. For dinner, why not book a chef to whip up an alfresco feast on the barbecue? Sit out late on the pool terrace, watching the stars emerge in the night sky. There are also four top-notch restaurants and seven bars in the resort to choose from, so you can happily dine out each day if you like. You’ll be planning your return visit before you’ve even unpacked your suitcases.
