Sunshine on the Rocks

Sunshine on the Rocks: Canary Islands

This sleek villa is located in Los Mojones and shows off modern design at its finest. White walls reflect the natural light ushered in through the floor-to-ceiling glass, while grey furnishings seep a sense of calm into the home. After a busy day exploring the Puerto del Carmen coastline, the comfortable chaise leather sofa invites you to kick back and relax with a book and a glass of wine in the evenings, before you take your pick of bedrooms, each with terrace access, to settle down for the night.

Sunny days will be spent poolside, soaking up the Spanish sun from the comfort of your lounger with a cocktail in hand. For a little respite from the heat of the day, sink into the refreshing water of the private pool where you’re afforded total privacy, courtesy of the lava rock wall encapsulating the garden. If you start to feel a little peckish, fear not – there’s a barbecue which promises a delightful alfresco meal, all you need is someone to take charge and get grilling.

When it’s time to head out to explore, a ten-minute stroll will see you wandering the quaint streets of the old town and harbour, or if you fancy a beach day, it’s just a fifteen-minute walk from your home-away-from-home.
