It was in this Villa that Ian Fleming lived in the 1950s and wrote all the James Bond books. From there, the property received renowned artists such as Bono Vox, Grace Jones and Mick Jagger. Today, it sits on a secluded cliff with direct access to the private beach within the Golden Eye complex. It accommodates groups of up to 10 people with the original open-plan three-bedroom house with dining area and private pool. As a nod to the history of illustrious owner Chris Blackwell (Founder of Island Records) in the music industry, all apartments feature a Logitech Squeezebox sound system equipped to pick up any radio station or music genre from around the world.

Starting with its location on the golf course of the Laranjeiras condominium – one of the most exclusive in all of Brazil – Villa 13 is one of the special finds in our portfolio.
Facing the greens, the refuge-like property conveys that feeling of spaciousness that is so welcome when the idea is to get away from it all.
From the design to the Bossa decor, every detail has been inspired by Bali. Hence the thatched roof with high ceilings, the bridge that connects the lawn to the veranda, the panneaux scattered in every corner, and the indirect lighting that makes everything cozier.
Compact, Villa 13 is a house designed to bring the family together in total tranquility, whether it’s for leisurely breakfasts overlooking the flowers in the garden, or afternoons by the pool.
To top it all off, the condominium is a chapter in itself: super secure, nestled in the middle of the Atlantic Forest mountains, with its own private paradise beaches. The structure also includes a golf course, a club with a full gym, a marina for boats and a playroom.
Located in Llubí in the heart of Mallorca, Spain, this Villa combines the tranquility of the interior with the charm of the Mediterranean. Surrounded by an exquisite garden, full of fruit trees and typical Mediterranean species, you can see the breathtaking landscape of the Sierra Tramontana. The house is built around a central courtyard, which houses the 8 charming suites and has a beautiful outdoor pool.
You only need a few minutes in Villa 11 before you realise why the owners of this house fell in love with Paraty back in the 1960s.
The villa has three suites and is located 10 minutes by boat from Paraty’s historic centre. It is surrounded by lush Atlantic rainforest and a magical garden, with an abundance of native trees and tropical flowers. There are two hiking trails within the property which take in the ruins of an imperial fort with its original canons and a 360 degree view of the bay of Paraty.
The villa’s landlord owns the well known Pousada do Sandi in Paraty’s historical centre. The internal décor is tasteful and stylish with floor to ceiling windows which show off the spectacular tropical rainforest and emerald green sea.
Should you wish to visit some of the many tropical islands in the area or gather mussels at the mussel farm in Pouso da Cajaiba, there are two speedboats available to hire.
Visiting Paraty is a cultural treat and staying in Villa 12 makes the cultural experience even more special. The villa is ideally located near Paraty’s main pier and within walking distance from all the shops and restaurants. The villa’s owner is co-founder of one of Brazil’s top interior design agencies and he has ensured it is tastefully decorated with exquisite antique furniture and art.
This elegant villa has ample bedrooms, an open plan kitchen and bright rooms overlooking an internal garden with a pool…this is a rarity in Paraty houses. It is an oasis from which to escape the world and recharge your batteries.
