Three Standout Luxury Villas Around the World

By Nora Hart

For those who arrive by superyacht, the world’s most exceptional villas offer an extension of life on board, offering complete privacy, seamless service and effortless access to the water. From the Maldives to St. Barts and the Greek Isles, these three remarkable retreats invite superyacht guests to drop anchor and step ashore into a different kind of luxury.

Kuredhi Residence, Velaa Private Island, Maldives
Set on a pristine stretch of white sand in the Noonu Atoll, Kuredhi Residence has been exquisitely reimagined by Winch Design for Velaa Private Island. This four-bedroom beachfront retreat epitomises beachside sophistication, blending soft sea tones, natural textures and bespoke furnishings by Minotti and Piegatto.
 

Floor-to-ceiling glass walls invite the outdoors in, while the infinity pool, open-air dining terrace and hot-tub cabana create the perfect atmosphere for island relaxation. A reflection of Winch Design’s yacht-inspired ethos, it balances refined craftsmanship with the effortless tranquillity of Maldivian life, ideal for guests arriving by tender from their anchored yacht. Plus, its direct access to one of the Maldives’ most vibrant house reefs makes it a haven for snorkelling and underwater exploration.

Villa Captiva, St. Barts
Tucked into Marigot Bay, Villa Captiva is St. Barts at its most exclusive: five elegant bungalows accommodating up to 16 guests in total privacy. French class meets Caribbean ease here, where guests move seamlessly from landscaped gardens to a private beach and heated infinity pool.
 

Perfect for those cruising the Leeward Islands, the villa’s private pontoon provides direct sea access for tenders and water toys. With sunrise yoga, beachside dining and bespoke menus by a private chef, Captiva offers the perfect land-based complement to a Caribbean charter, and its enviable location also places guests within minutes of the island’s chic boutiques and legendary beach clubs in Gustavia.

Ultima Corfu, Greece
Carved into Corfu’s dramatic coastline, Ultima Corfu is a contemporary Greek masterpiece with six sea-view suites and panoramic terraces cascading down to the water. Guests can arrive by private boat, unwind between twin infinity pools, or enjoy the villa’s hammam, cinema and hilltop Jacuzzi.
 

Ultima’s signature service, private chef, concierge and spa therapist, ensures every detail is taken care of. Blending sleek design with Greek authenticity, it’s a breathtaking base for yacht owners cruising the Ionian, with its private dock offering direct access to the Aegean. The villa’s clifftop setting also delivers some of the most spectacular sunset views in the Ionian Islands.

From the Indian Ocean to the Caribbean and the Aegean, these villas offer superyacht travellers the best of both worlds, with exceptional privacy ashore and the freedom of the open ocean just steps away.
