Description
Like a collection of giant sugar cubes, the buildings of Villa Padma stand out against the blue skies over the Greek island of Sifnos. Gathered around a central pool and chic outdoor living areas, the three white cubes take traditional whitewashed island architecture to new heights of luxury. Surrounded by extensive private grounds and olive groves, the luxury villa looks towards the tranquil sea.
Beware: you may need to wear sunglasses inside as well as out, until you have adjusted to the luminous whiteness of Villa Padma. Dazzling light reflects from every surface, from the sleek white Italian kitchen units to the polished white floors.
The unique layout, with eight bedrooms distributed between three separate buildings, gives everyone their own space. You can take a refreshing dip in the seawater-filled pool, and venture down to Vathi beach with the villa’s own stand-up paddle boards, kayaks and canoes. Just make sure you are back before lunch is served up by your private chef on the terrace. Who can resist freshly grilled seafood, washed down with a glass of chilled wine? Perfect.
Staying in tip top condition is easy here. Villa Padma has a mini gym with weights and machines. Add in all the water sports and outdoors fun, and you’ll be going home in better shape than you arrived.
Perfect for families, Villa Padma has lots of toys and a separate playroom in the grounds, in a renovated old cottage. It doesn’t matter whether you seek tranquil solitude or hedonistic revels, this luxury villa will cast a white magic spell on you.
