Ranging in size from 180-330 sqm.

Our beautifully designed two- and three-bedroom villas offer spacious living without compromise. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered — from modern, well-appointed kitchens to two luxury bathrooms that add comfort and ease to daily life.

North-facing living areas are designed to make the most of the sun, flowing seamlessly to outdoor patios and private garden spaces — ideal for entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet morning coffee.

Full-length windows frame the landscaped surrounds, while the generous 2.7-metre ceiling height enhances the sense of light and openness. With single or double internal-access garaging and high-quality finishes throughout, these villas offer the perfect blend of style, space and relaxed coastal living.

It’s home to a resort-style pool, a stunning café serving an ever-changing array of homemade treats, and plenty of inviting areas to relax and socialise. Whether you’re enjoying a film in the 50-seat movie theatre, sharing a laugh by the open fire, or tapping your toes on the dance floor, the Clubhouse is where connection comes naturally. To help you stay active and well, the Clubhouse includes a health spa with a 20-metre heated indoor swimming pool, spa pool, gym, and rooms for exercise classes.
