You might need to pinch yourself just to confirm you are not in Port Douglas. The bold and exhilarating interior of Casa Azzurro echoes tropical themes, which are underlined by the endless blue sea stretching out before you.

This is beachside luxury with an inspiring design that features an open-plan lounge, dining area and gourmet kitchen upstairs, together with a dreamy master bedroom with spa ensuite (you will love the sea views from the bed). Every conceivable amenity is provided, including entertainment systems. The interior colours mimic the seasons and  surrounds, with creams, blues and greens lending a beachside feel. Casa Azzurro is very much a house for all seasons, with the floor-to-ceiling windows drawing in winter sun and warmth and a wrap-around deck for summer dining and sunbaking.

The two-bedroom Casa Azzurro is ideal for a couple (think honeymoon or special occasion) or perhaps two couples travelling together whereas Casa al Mare's three bedrooms welcome families. Walk to the beach, tour the wineries or simply stay put and totally unwind in these sensational beach houses.
