Description Pacific Aloha: Honolulu

Perched directly on the Pacific in Honolulu's Diamond Head Cove, this villa puts the ocean at the centre of everything. The infinity pool sits level with the horizon, tiki torches flanking the water as swells roll in beyond the palms. Walls of glass dissolve the boundary between inside and out, so the Pacific is never far from view – not from the dining terrace, not from the covered lanai, not even from bed. A private lift connects the floors, the games room bar handles evenings in, and beach gear is laid on for days on the sand.
