2 more en-suite bedrooms.

The first floor is surrounded by terraces, offering open views to the ocean, just a couple of km away. For summer entertainment there is a double outdoor kitchen, covered seating area, an outdoor shower and a heated chlorine pool.

The villa stands in the middle of a fenced and landscaped 1.7 hectare garden, with tens of different fruit trees, lush palm trees, several native plants and a large vegetable garden to cultivate ones own food.
