Coconut & Coast

Set within a gated community in Las Terrenas, this villa is where the beach and the pool blur into a single, unhurried day. The main bedroom opens onto the sea through floor-to-ceiling glass doors, while the garden – shaded by palms and anchored by a hot tub – connects directly to the sand. A soaring entrance hall hung with driftwood and living greenery signals early on that this is no ordinary retreat. Come evening, the covered terrace draws the whole group together, and a sandy games area beneath the coconut trees keeps things lively when the sun's still high.
