KiYara

Peaceful, private and secluded in its own extensive gardens, this single-storey villa is a masterpiece of understated elegance. Its elevated setting affords uninterrupted views of the Atlantic sunrise, and catches cooling trade winds which play through the house and across its verandas. An infinity pool is the focal point of lazy days in the sun, set in a generously spacious terrace and placed for perfect panoramas of the sea and offshore islands. Behind it, a shaded dining area is accessed from the open-plan living room, an airy space with warm toned wood and cool stone walls. The villa’s three bedrooms are equally calm and uncluttered, the master suite featuring a four-poster bed and open-air shower. At KiYara, quality and attention to detail are evident everywhere, from the Ralph Lauren towels and luxury toiletries, to Bequia Tapas when you arrive, and local arrangements for in-villa spa treatments. Cook service can be pre-booked to add an extra level of relaxation. A fifteen minute drive from Port Elizabeth’s shops and restaurants, the house is just five minutes from a sandy beach.
