Description A Picture of Nature: Xàbia

If you’re planning a sunny getaway with a group of family or friends, this elegant villa set in Montgó natural park will tick every one of your holiday boxes. Inside, this home oozes sophistication. A light colour palette combines beautifully with wicker and painted wooden furniture, keeping the whole space bright and inviting, while original features such as exposed beams and stone arches add a touch of character. At the heart of the villa lies the generous open-plan living, kitchen and dining area, and it’s easy to see that this home was designed as a space for family and friends to gather. The sleek, modern kitchen is one you’ll want to cook in, and you’ll be surrounded by your loved ones as you rustle up a feast.

The outside space jostles for attention with the interior, and it would be hard to choose a winner. We love the outdoor seating areas – whether you’ve chosen to enjoy a meal on the covered terrace or you’re simply tucked up on the sofa taking a quiet five minutes to yourself, the view is framed perfectly by the arches. You’ll find it hard to drag yourself away from this tranquil spot.

For those seeking a bit more action, the sun glistening off the surface of the pool is bound to invite you in for a swim, after which you can stretch out on a sun lounger with the mountains as your backdrop. With petanque, table tennis and a full-size clay tennis court, you’ll never be lost for something to do. With the beauty of nature wrapping around you, here, you’ve found a little slice of Spanish paradise.
