With the beach just 250 metres away, this beautiful home makes use of natural elements and a boho touch to instil a sense of tranquillity that’s only helped along by the breathtaking sea views from the terrace. Embrace a slower pace by staying in bed long after you’ve woken up just so you can read another chapter. Eventually, drag yourself out towards the kitchenette where you can grab a coffee to enjoy out on the terrace. Savour the sounds and smells of the ocean as you watch the horizon from the hanging egg chair, or fill out a crossword puzzle at the outdoor dining table. The latter, coincidentally, is the perfect place for an alfresco breakfast, but you can always head out to the local cafe, just under two miles away. Bask in the sun as you read on the daybed and hop into the plunge pool whenever you need a bit of cooling down. Take a walk down to the beach and enjoy the sunset together before slowly making the trip back for a night of charades in the living space.
