Description
Like a glamorous visitor from another galaxy, the sleek, white cube of Villa Emerald faces the sea. This must be the coolest way to visit the South of France, living in a modernist dreamhouse, right beside the sea shore, in an unspoilt corner of the Languedoc near to the traditional fishing port of Sète.
This luxury villa is flooded with daylight through the huge windows, highlighting the chic details of the sleek furniture. You could be forgiven for imagining you are in Malibu or Miami, hanging out with A-list celebrities, but this place is as yet undiscovered.
Villa Emerald has everything you could wish for. The spectacular swimming pool has one entire wall of glass, there is a sauna, games room with table tennis and table football, and a private cinema. Every room is contemporary styled with wall-to-ceiling windows. Magnificent sea views come as standard.
Just a short walk from Villa Emerald and you arrive on the wide stretch of sandy beach for a day of sunbathing. Then end the day with a glass of local wine and a plate of oysters beside a picturesque canal in Sète. It’s contemporary luxury meets traditional French charm.
Guests of Villa Emerald will also enjoy use of the villa’s bikes, kayaks & paddle boards. Additionally, the villa has its own SeaRay 220 Sunsport speedboat, moored in the nearby Villeroy marina where guests can take a family trip and discover the canals of Sète, Lake Thau or the coastline from the water. Use of the speedboat is not included in the villa rental price and can be rented separately with skipper-service. A boating license and supplementary warranty deposit is required if you wish to take the boat out yourself.

Kids
The kids can happily spend time within the secure garden of your luxury villa, having fun in the pool, although the long and wide, sandy beach is very child-friendly and directly in front of the property.
For further entertainment and activities (or to keep kids busy and out of trouble), guests can use the villa’s bikes, kayaks & SUP boards. Messing around in the shallows with the paddle-board is always fun and there is also a long, smooth ‘boardwalk’ path along the beach which is great for cycling.
Inside the villa, the games room on the lower ground floor is a perfect den for kids to hang out in or to play table football. And when its time for some down time, the cinema room offers the perfect spot to wind down after a fun filled day.
