The bedrooms of this chalet certainly deserve a second mention, all individually designed with unique bespoke artwork it’s difficult to pick a favourite. All rooms feature a large television and personal fridge but the glass bath of the Lagoon room is a feature we haven’t seen before, perhaps as it is only one of two of its kind in the world. The unique artwork and sculptures can be found throughout the chalet with a giant orange penguin and a motorbike as featured in the movie Babylon.

The upstairs lounge is the heart of the chalet providing a perfect spot to watch the world go by, enjoy a game of billiards or a cocktail at the bar. The outdoor bar provides a great place for a party or maybe you’d prefer a quite drink and nibbles in the wine cave. Entertainment possibilities are endless in this ‘funky’ chalet and we mustn’t forget to mention the outdoor sauna pod and large hot tub. There’s even something for the little ones with a secret hidden childrens’ room, too small for the mums and dads. This has got to be another strong contender in this category.
