Villa del Mar

Too often, adjectives like “spectacular” and “splendid” are applied in places where they only function as creaky hinges on a slippery sales pitch. Not so at Villa del Mar, a property whose arresting features engage the senses in a dance of endless delight. First, consider the impossibly lovely ocean vistas, seen from every room. The play of light on the water has its counterpart in the kindred sparkles from the villa’s large and lovely pool, which is accented by its companion jacuzzi, suitable for a party of eight. And a festive party, bigger yet, can be made in the villa’s 2,500 feet of outdoor space, a gas barbecue and a fire pit.

There’s no shortage of indoor space either—7,500 square feet of it, and every foot a charmer. All of the five capacious suites have ocean views, balconies and private baths, with three sporting jacuzzi tubs as well. Indoor furnishings and accents have a clean, contemporary look, evincing a feeling of understated luxury. Of course, in a home of this quality, there have to be some extras: There’s a nice fitness room with club-level exercise equipment, and a handsome sauna to soothe your muscles after a vigorous workout. And after that, why not visit the theater room, with its surround-sound system and gaming table? Of course, you don’t have to go far for entertainment—there are 10 satellite TVs at Villa del Mar. Striking travertine flooring throughout the complex provides an opulent look and feel.

Villa del Mar is the epitome of what an exclusive Pedregal villa is all about: style, comfort and class—and the offering up of a rich getaway essence and possibility.
