A Hammock of Stars

A Hammock of Stars: La Altagracia

Having featured in prominent magazines such as Elle Decor and Architectural Digest of Germany, this beachfront villa is where beauty and relaxation meet in the best of ways. Bold, playful, and colourful, you can rely on the many doors and windows to allow the light to stream in as you go from a fluffy bed to the balcony, stopping off for coffee in the kitchen. Sit out there admiring the panoramic beach views, fresh sea breeze and the peace and quiet that comes along with Caribbean living.

Once the rest of the villa starts buzzing with activity, you can take your prepared breakfast out to enjoy under the thatched gazebo. Eat and be merry, and if the exploring mood strikes, you can head out to snorkel among coral reefs or kite surf. If you choose to stay right where you are, then go in search of your ideal space. It might be one of the many hammocks, in which you may choose to read until your eyes feel heavy. Give into the nap and wake up ready for lunch.

With miles of paradise right on your doorstep, you can walk out past the palm trees to splash in the salty surf not far from your front door. Enjoy a glass of wine out on the balcony after lunch, alternate between sunbathing poolside and dipping into the cool waters of the private pool, and remember to head out after sunset to watch the stars blink to life up above.
