Villa Kaya is a thoughtfully composed property high in the hills of Vitet. With a layout split between a main house and a guest pavilion, it offers both connection and privacy. The design emphasizes indoor-outdoor living, natural materials, and expansive sea vistas.
Architecture & Layout
The villa is divided across two structures: a main house and a guest building, with the pool between them.
Vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, wide glazing, and seamless transitions to terraces highlight the architectural intent.
The structures are set within private gardens and terraces, enhancing a sense of seclusion and serenity despite the dramatic view.
The swimming pool, with heating options and ambient lighting, forms a visual and experiential centerpiece.
Suites & Interiors
Bedrooms (3 ensuite suites)
• Primary & second suite: located in the main house, both opening onto terraces overlooking the pool and sea.
• Guest pavilion suites (2 rooms): in the separate building across the pool, each with its own en suite bathroom and private access.
• All suites are air-conditioned, with high-end baths (Italian showers), quality fittings, and direct or visual access to outdoor spaces.
Interiors & communal living
• The open-plan great room includes lounge, dining, and kitchen spaces under soaring ceilings.
• The kitchen is fully equipped, featuring modern appliances and a design that flows into the terrace and outdoor dining zones.
• Decorative touches, wood accents, designer features, imbue the villa with character beyond pure shell.
Shared Social Spaces
The pool and deck act as the pivot between the main house and guest pavilion, framing social life around water, light, and view.
Covered terraces, pergola dining areas, hammock lounges, and various alcoves invite relaxed moments at all hours.
Furnishings and placement are oriented to maximize vistas, comfort, and the flow of sea breezes.
Pool & Outdoors
A heated pool lies between structural volumes, visually connecting the two wings and mirroring sky and sea.
The terraces surrounding the pool include sun loungers, shaded nooks, and generous outdoor seating for lounging or dining.
Lush tropical gardens, palms, and plantings wrap around the villa, softening edges, enhancing privacy, and helping integrate the architecture into the slope.
