‘Island Views‘ is an inviting Caribbean villa overlooking a calm ocean scene, and filled with fresh and simple décor, African sapele wood ceilings and artistic lighting.












 The Great Room leads out to a pool complete with built in waterfall and reclining Buddha, and spacious sun decks for peacefully topping up your tan, socializing in the sunshine, unwinding in the sunken hot tub or dining alfresco using the external gas grill and large teak table. 


 Another outdoor lounging area is situated on the upper floor of the two level property to offer further appreciation of the sea vistas from cushioned chaise lounges–the perfect place for sipping cocktails as yachts sail by on the horizon. 
 The impressive villa centers around a tastefully styled Great Room, furnished in a tropical fusion of rattan sofas, West Indian antique pieces and original art housed in custom bookcases built from andiroba wood along one entire wall. French doors have been situated on the ocean aspect to open the space up to St. Croix’s refreshing tradewinds.



 On the opposite side of the holiday hideaway, a kitchen with breakfast bar and an inside dining area are pierced with ever-present ocean panorama via large windows and french doors.
For those who can’t ever fully switch off in vacation mode, a desk area complete with computer equipment can be utilized, or you can burn off excess energy in the air-conditioned, mirrored personal gym. 
The amazing Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, on the southern tip of the Cap d’Antibes, on the Côte d’Azur between Nice and Cannes, gazes out over a magnificent Mediterranean Sea view and the Lérins Islands, and is backed by twenty-two acres of mature gardens and a green pine forest.

Boasted as a place that has been created and maintained by an award-winning team of true artisans, and with the French Riviera just a short blast away, the majestic building is one that draws the most discerning of guests, with its promises of exclusivity, perfection and privacy. 




 
Renowned for its luxurious rooms, suites and villas, with park, rose garden or sea views, even one bedroom accommodation offers a private terrace and outdoor Jacuzzi, whilst two palatial villas that are situated away from the main buildings feature a tranquil outdoor swimming pool shielded by trees, and even house a personal butler! 





 
Building on unsurpassed views of the sea, the 118 holiday abodes have state-of-the-art amenities, private bars and marble bathrooms complete with floating twin basins and glamorously lit mirrors. Delicate décor throughout provides a fresh and airy atmosphere, whilst lavish pooling curtains, chic chandeliers, and high quality furniture reek of luxury, expense and finery.

Luxury never goes out of fashion and that is precisely why it touches so many spheres of life. Be it clothing, homes or cars, everything transforms magically.

Altamoda redefines rooms with the new luxury feature in each. The collection below has a vibrant range of colors, designs and accessories. Each room is unique in its own way, for it is complete in itself. Since not everybody is a fan of loud colors, the company has also experimented with soft ones. The textures in the room are varied and it is amazing how each one has fit perfectly well with the others.

Taking hints from these wouldn’t be taboo, but could you stop yourself from replicating the entire set? We think not!
