The pool from above — 'Emerald Villa' written in navy mosaic tile on the pool floor

Emerald View Villa

Amenities

A pool that signs its own name, gardens that applaud, and two lounges for doing beautifully little.

The Pool

Turquoise over patterned tile, with "Emerald Villa" scripted in navy mosaic across the floor — the villa's name, permanently underwater. Loungers wait on every side.

The stone fountain among bougainvillea, ocean beyond

The Gardens

A three-tier stone fountain holds the courtyard while bougainvillea does its loud, magenta best along every wall. The lawn ends where the view begins.

The green lounge — wicker armchairs and a deep sofa beneath a ceiling fan, windows open to the hills

The Lounges

Upstairs, wicker armchairs and a deep sofa gather beneath a slow ceiling fan, windows thrown open on every side to the green hills. The WiFi sign on the wall says plainly what this room is for: settling in, and not much else.

The arrival court — yellow adirondack chairs and bougainvillea by the carport

Arrival

The cobbled court greets you with a pair of yellow adirondack chairs and a wall of blossom — the first of many places here designed for sitting down and staying put.
