Description Paradise Cove: Avalon

With views over palms lining the Pacific Ocean, this home on Catalina Island is the perfect coastal getaway for a couple or small family looking to get the most out of this Californian sunspot.

Wake up in the nautical-themed bedroom and choose one of two private terraces on which to enjoy your morning coffee. Then, head to the swimming pool downstairs, or grab your beach towel to luxuriate on the resort’s private white sand beach.

Sports enthusiasts will love the golf, basketball, tennis, volleyball and gym facilities, while everyone will appreciate the private golf cart at your disposal to zip around the island in style. Visit Catalina’s iconic casino, go snorkelling and scuba diving in Avalon Bay or book a glass-bottom boat tour for a window into the island’s remarkable reefs.

After a day of sightseeing, come back home for sunset drinks on one of two oceanfront balconies, then fire up the barbecue for an alfresco feast. Alternatively, head out to explore Catalina’s countless restaurants, from oceanside dive bars to snazzy seafood specialists.
