Luxury Villa, outdoor kitchen & pool

The great thing about Villa South Beach? For us, it actually starts as soon as the doors open in the morning. The wind blows nicely through the house, you look out over the valley and in front of you is the swimming pool. A cup of coffee and the day can start quietly as far as we are concerned.

The villa is spacious and bright and can accommodate up to 8 people. There are 4 air-conditioned double bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Great if you are with family or friends: there is enough space to be together, but you don't have to be on each other's lips all day.

We actually live mainly outside here. The large accordion doors can be opened completely and from the living room you can walk straight onto the spacious terrace. There you will find the private swimming pool with sunbeds and outdoor shower, a lounge set and our large dining table. We have breakfast there, but to be honest, we usually stay there too long in the evening.

And then the outdoor kitchen. That one is our favorite. With the Big Green Egg on, something tasty on the barbecue and a cold drink, you don't really need much more. The first bag of charcoal is already waiting for you.

Inside there is a spacious open kitchen with cooking island and a separate TV room. There is also a desk and there are books and games. Handy if someone wants to sit quietly for a while or if you just want to stay at home after a day at the beach.

Villa South Beach is located in a quiet residential area and you park your car on site behind the electric gate. Still, you're very centrally located: both Jan Thiel Beach and Mambo Beach are about 10 minutes ' drive away and supermarkets, restaurants and shops are also close by.

What we think is perhaps the best thing about the villa is that you don't have to go out every day to have the holiday feeling. Sometimes a day at your own pool, with that view and that wonderful breeze, is just right.
