Villa Acuario

Despite being set high on a hilltop, glorious Cala Vadella is just minutes away by car. This beach is a spectacular sight as you drive through winding, pine-lined roads into the bay. With calm turquoise waters lapping gently at the sands and the hills providing shelter from strong winds, you'll feel as if you've arrived in yet another paradise location. Popular with families, there are many ways to enjoy the sea at Cala Vadella. You can go swimming and snorkelling in the clear waters or hire a boat or canoe from a local shop. There are plenty of beachfront restaurants to choose from when lunchtime comes around, or you may prefer to make your own picnic and take it with you on a long day out. It's a popular spot for yacht and boat owners, so you'll enjoy watching the vehicles come and go. San José is a sleepy village around 8 km east of the villa and is a charming place to spend a quiet afternoon. The pace of life is slow here, so enjoy strolling the streets and browsing the boutique shops at your leisure. Make sure you visit the beautiful whitewashed church and take in the fantastic views of the coast it offers. Whether it's lunchtime, the evening or cocktail hour when you visit San José, you'll find plenty of restaurants and bars to meet your needs. Surprisingly for a small village, the range of cuisines served at its eateries isn't restricted to just traditional Greek fare, with African, Asian and Mexican dishes also being on menus.
