A Star on the Water

Holiday Rental Description

Just 600m from the famous Fig Tree beach, this villa certainly knocks it out of the park when it comes to location. It overlooks the glistening waters of the Mediterranean, so days spent basking in the rays and swimming in the sea are a given. In between sunbathing sessions, explore Protaras – sample Cypriot cuisine at the local restaurants, browse the trinkets at the souvenir shops or wander through Cape Greco National Forest Park in search of breathtaking views.

When you're not out and about, this contemporary seafront pad is the perfect place to kick back and relax. Make a splash in the crystal-clear pool, then sink into one of the lounge chairs, a cocktail in hand, and dry off in the sun. Another peaceful spot is the Roman-style courtyard, where you can listen to the trickle of the water feature as you curl up with a well-thumbed book.

Of course, with vistas like that – and trust us, they're pretty spectacular – you'll want to make the most of them, inside and out. That's why we love the sliding glass doors. Seamlessly connecting the breezy living space with the deck, you'll be able to admire the rolling waves no matter what you're up to, be it cooking dinner in the kitchen, lounging on the sofa or sharing a bottle of wine around the dining table. Sounds dreamy, doesn't it?
