EXPLORE THE Villa

BEDROOMS

Master Suites with Ocean Views

Each of the main bedrooms offers a peaceful retreat with large windows framing the Pacific horizon. Comfortable king beds, quality linens, and private access to outdoor spaces make these rooms perfect for both restful nights and lazy mornings.

Inside, these rooms balance luxury with practicality. Both feature ample storage for longer stays, well-appointed private bathrooms, and space to spread out. These suites were designed for both rejuvenation and real life.

Dining Room

Open Dining, Seamless Living

Positioned at the heart of the villa, the dining room connects effortlessly to the kitchen, living spaces, and the pool just beyond. It’s where movement feels natural—meals flow from stove to table, conversations drift from indoors to out. The layout invites gathering without feeling crowded.

You might be plating up lunch, stepping in from the pool, or taking a quiet moment between work and rest—this space is ready when you are.

kITCHEN

A Kitchen Built for Balance

Sleek, spacious, and quietly refined, the kitchen sits between the dining area and living room, offering easy flow and a sense of calm. Its minimalist design features generous counter space, modern appliances, and ample storage tucked behind clean-lined cabinetry.

It’s a space that works with your rhythm: morning coffee setups, afternoon snack breaks, or prepping dinner while friends drift in from the pool.

pool

For Laps, Lounging, and Letting Go

Framed by palms and the open Pacific, the pool at Citadel Mar offers space to move, float, and breathe. One side is built for laps: clean, straight lines and just the right amount of challenge. The other is made for lounging, with in-water chairs and shallow edges that invite you to stay a while.

Start the day with a swim or ease into the evening light; this is where the villa and the ocean begin to blur.

RESTROOMS

Space to Unwind, Designed to Restore

Across the villa, four full bathrooms offer a private reset. Each one with a spacious walk-in shower, soft lighting, and warm wood accents that echo the calm outside. A fifth powder room adds ease for guests or shared spaces.

With thoughtful materials, generous mirrors, and room to move, these bathrooms were made for more than routine; they were made to pause, refresh, and carry on.
