The grey concrete exterior may feel imposing at first glance, but inside Byron Bay Villa offers warmth, comfort and quirky charm. With open-plan living areas on the upper floor, flowing through full-length glass doors onto a spacious deck, the views over the Pacific Ocean are unsurpassed – you can even see dolphins and migrating whales. Crisp white-on-white decor is accented with splashes of bright or pastel hues, and there’s a touch of glamour at this seaside santuary. Sofas are upholstered in Kenzo fabric, retro Hawaiian-style prints adorn the interior and a mirror-bedecked wall reflects the palm trees and vivid blue sky. Downstairs, a wet-edge lap pool and spa overlook Wategos Beach (a favourite with both locals and visitors), which is a few minutes' walk away. It's also just a short meander into the centre of Byron Bay with its stylish shops, cafés, restaurants and bars.
