Immediately next to this pool is the main restaurant / bar and behind that are the tennis courts and reception.

This makes it perfectly safe for children to play in the front and rear gardens without fear of them wandering off. The villa is surrounded by trees, so there are plenty of shady spots in which you can relax, or children can play out of the strong summer sun. Conversely, if you want to sun bathe, there is always sun on the patio or rooftop sun terrace throughout the day. The villa has its own sun loungers, a patio table and chairs.

Care and attention to detail are the hallmarks of Balaia Village. The beautiful pine trees form not only the perfect backdrop, they give privacy and provide welcome shade in summer.
