Castles in the sand - that was the vision the architect Myron Goldfinger had in mind as he dreamt up this visually stunning set of fourteen houses along glorious West Shoal Bay. Apart from their setting the word beach house doesn't do them justice: from their ceilings floating high above to their oversized rattan furniture with raw silk cushions these daringly modernistic properties offer luxurious living - with the convenience of a hotel. A fine restaurant, meals delivered to your house, babysitting, water sports, tennis courts, masseurs are all at hand. Behind the houses stretch eight acres of tropical gardens but, just as the architect intended, it is the beach that focuses the attention. There are views of the beach, the sea, the sky from every room, with some of the living rooms located on the first floor, to make the most of the seascapes. The cool white and terracotta interiors seem almost to make the aspects a part of the d�cor. Depending upon the size of your party, you can choose from the intimate two- bedroom beach houses, the four three-bedroom villas with their fifty foot private verandahs, or the two grand villas, which feature a tree-filled atrium. But wherever you stay you will be benefiting from an extraordinary architectural vision that makes the very best of a spectacular setting - with the service to match.
