Villa Kari

If a holiday on the Costa Tropical is all about sun-splashed exteriors and alfresco living, then Villa Kari is made for this life. The open-plan, light-filled living-dining-kitchen area is on the first floor of the house, accessed via stairs or elevator from the ground floor entrance to the property.

The floating designer staircase and sleek windows are stand-out features in the living space. The beach-inspired décor offers muted tones of neutral wood and soft greys, with seating for a family of 6-8 around a large 55inch TV.

Dine with friends and family around the handmade wooden table in the formal dining room. Comfortably seating 8, it has sweeping views that will take your breath away. For a casual breakfast or drinks over evening cooking, you’ll find island seating in the kitchen with 3 bar stools.

The modern designer kitchen features a central cooking island with concealed appliances, an induction hob, dishwasher, double ovens, Nespresso machine, and American-style fridge/freezer.

The 8×4-metre swimming pool and sundeck are on the level below the living room and are accessible by lift or stairs. Water can be gently heated for a small fee and there are sun beds and shade available at the poolside.

Vibrant, tropical planting around the pool helps give a sensation of being in your own little paradise, away from the cares of the world, while the upper terrace overs views to the bay of La Herradura.

• La Herradura is an ‘under-the-radar’ getaway for the rich and famous. You’ll have privacy. But you won’t be close to glitzy Michelin-starred restaurants, late-night beach clubs or a champagne party lifestyle.
• Villa Kari is wheelchair accessible. There’s a lift to access the house. And the main floor is open-plan with one en-suite bedroom with roll-in shower and wide doors.
• Villa Kari is located in an elevated setting – an easy walk downhill to the beach (a short cut is available), but some energy may be needed to get back up in the summer.
• Large groups can rent Villa Kari together with its bigger sister, Villa Kallan to accommodate a total of 20 guests + staff. There is a gate at the back of the properties that can interconnect the two.
• The owner may accept well-behaved dogs by prior request.
