Coastal Destinations
Exceptional places shaped by the sea, chosen for how they allow you to live, stay and explore.
Places Worth Travelling For
The places in the CVAY Collection are chosen not only for beautiful coastlines, but for the way a stay can unfold once you are there. Space to be together, freedom to follow different interests, exceptional homes and enough to discover beyond the front door.
From Mediterranean islands to the Caribbean and Pacific coasts, each destination offers its own balance of privacy, landscape, culture and life by the sea.
Ibiza, Spain
Quiet coves, beautiful homes and an island with more than one personality.
Ibiza is often introduced through its most famous side, but the island becomes considerably more interesting once you stay long enough to discover the rest. Pine-covered hills, small coves, countryside restaurants and beautiful private homes create an Ibiza that can feel remarkably calm.
That does not mean ignoring what made the island famous. Part of Ibiza’s appeal is knowing that a quiet day by the pool can become lunch beside the sea, an afternoon on the water or an evening that lasts rather longer than originally discussed. The important thing is having the choice.
CVAY approaches Ibiza from that perspective: exceptional places to stay, space to be together and enough of the island within reach to decide each day how much — or how little — you would like to do.
Mallorca, Spain
Mountain villages, Mediterranean coves and an island that rewards staying a little longer.
Mallorca has an unusual ability to accommodate very different ideas of a good escape. Days can move between quiet coves, long lunches, Palma, the Serra de Tramuntana and afternoons when leaving the pool suddenly seems rather unnecessary.
For CVAY, its appeal goes beyond beautiful villa stays. Mallorca is an island to experience from land and sea, to return to, and perhaps eventually to know well enough that two weeks begins to feel suspiciously short.
Costa Rica
Tropical forest, Pacific shores and space to experience nature together
Costa Rica works particularly well for families who want nature and adventure without giving up the ease of a beautifully run private home. Around Peninsula Papagayo, beaches, boating and wildlife can sit alongside long afternoons by the pool and dinners at the villa.
It is a destination where different generations can find their own rhythm while still spending much of the day together.
Mexico
Two coasts, two very different expressions of life by the sea.
Mexico brings together remarkably different coastal experiences. On the Caribbean side, Tulum and the Riviera Maya combine beaches, cenotes, Maya heritage, restaurants and contemporary design. On the Pacific, Careyes feels more secluded, with bold architecture, protected coves and a distinctive relationship between landscape and home.
Together they show why Mexico deserves more than a single way of being experienced.
Crete, Greece
The Mediterranean island where slower living, warm hospitality, and extraordinary coastlines still shape daily life.
Crete offers a very different experience from the faster rhythm often associated with Mediterranean travel. Along quieter coastlines and mountain villages, life still unfolds close to the sea, shaped by long lunches, hidden beaches, and a remarkable sense of openness and warmth.
From dramatic southern landscapes to exceptional private villas overlooking the Libyan Sea, Crete rewards travelers looking for a more grounded and emotionally connected way to experience the Mediterranean.

Dalmatian Riviera, Croatia
Island-hopping, clear water, and a coastline made for life at sea
Croatia’s Dalmatian Riviera offers one of the most natural yacht charter landscapes in Europe. Short cruising distances, historic harbor towns, and protected bays create a rhythm that feels both easy and rich in variation.
Days move between lively waterfronts and quiet anchorages. One afternoon may lead to a long lunch ashore; the next to swimming in complete stillness. It is a destination that balances movement and calm — without ever feeling complicated.
Amalfi Coast, Italy
Cliffside villages, layered views, and stays defined by atmosphere
The Amalfi Coast is often recognized instantly, yet its real character reveals itself more quietly. Terraced gardens, winding paths, and villas set into the cliffs create a setting that feels both dramatic and deeply livable.
Time here is shaped by small rituals — mornings overlooking the sea, afternoons that stretch into evening, and spaces that invite you to stay longer than planned. It is less about movement, and more about presence.
Cape Town, South Africa
Atlantic light, open space, and a setting shaped by contrast
Cape Town offers a different kind of coastal experience — more expansive, more elemental, and defined by its connection to both ocean and mountain. The Atlantic brings clarity and movement, while the landscape creates a strong sense of space.
Villa Issima Hillside House reflects this beautifully. Elevated above the coastline, it offers a perspective that feels calm, private, and deeply connected to its surroundings.
A Considered Collection, Growing with Care
CVAY’s destinations are introduced gradually. Each location is included because it can be represented with clarity — through places to stay, experiences to explore, and a genuine understanding of how it feels to be there.
