In a privileged position next to the One&Only Palmilla hotel is the exclusive Villas del Mar community that's home to four-bedroom Villa 366. And just a five-minute walk from this spacious holiday home are the white sands and watersports of Playa Palmilla.

Villa 366 channels old world Mexican style right from the entrance via tropical gardens and courtyard. Just as timeless are the views over the sparkling Sea of Cortez from the numerous terraces and inviting indoor spaces.

The interior is grand yet homely. In the elegant open-plan living/dining room, fine wood furniture adds gravitas to the comfortable sofas, colourful prints and art on the walls. The contemporary kitchen is just as impressive and has everything you need for cooking up a storm.

Each of the four ensuite bedrooms has a particularly striking and unique feature in the form of a door or gate headboard. Intricately or rustically carved, these headboards add to the sense of history throughout the villa and are complemented by pieces of similar wood furniture.

Bringing things right up-to-date are doors opening onto peaceful outdoor spaces. That's a leafy courtyard in the case of the two lower floor bedrooms with king-size beds. Or a breezy private terrace for the two upper floor bedrooms with queen-size beds. One ensuite bathroom features a romantic jacuzzi with sea views through a picture window for extra luxury.

Just as attractive as the interior of Villa 366 is the main terrace off the living/dining room, with an infinity pool at its heart. You'll not struggle to find the perfect spot to soak up the tropical atmosphere and ocean views here. Loungers, sofas and al fresco dining area all offer to take the weight off your feet so you can fully unwind at this tranquil retreat.
