Woven Waves

While the island of Lefkada might be well known for action-packed holidays of watersports and boat trips, the floating bridge from the mainland also connects you directly to luxury. You can spend all the time you want doing activities by the golden sands of Episkopos Beach, but three minutes away on foot, this home offers an altogether more pampered experience.

Starting from the outside of this towering modern villa, the glass perimeter of your pool terrace allows you to keep an eye on the shimmering seas and faraway mountains. With sun loungers and an alfresco dining spot in tow, it’s the perfect place to pause while you savour a glass of homemade lemonade from your host upon arrival. You can find an even warmer welcome inside – not just because of your private hot tub under the covered terrace, but also a generous hamper of fresh fruit and wine.

In this zen-like home, organic fabrics, wooden furniture, and woven textures put nature in the spotlight. The bright, minimal, and modern decor oozes sophistication, with fringed lampshades and cushions bringing a bohemian edge to island life. But there’s nothing boho about a private chef, florist, boat rentals, and freshly-pressed laundry – a truly VIP villa.
