Aria, formerly known as Ca d'Oro, was designed by Paolo Piva and is a striking Japanese vision of contemporary design, carefully hidden away within the mature, surrounding natural Mustique vegetation and wild tropical island landscaping.

The sleek external lines give way to warmer, fun and intelligent Japanese styled furnishings and layouts within. The use of water and bold golden accents of colour add theatre and depths to the large internal spaces.

The vaulted great room on the higher floor provides varied sitting areas, all taking advantage of dramatic views across the island. It is a peaceful space which could also be used for entertaining. There is an indoor/outdoor dining room by a golden waterfall, suitable for large dinner parties and family meals, as well as a more intimate sunken Japanese style dining room.

Upstairs, you are transported into what almost feels like a treehouse, perched in and above the canopy of the surrounding trees. On each flank of the house both upstairs and downstairs are generously proportioned bedroom suites, two upstairs and two downstairs. From all suites, sliding doors open onto wide, decked terraces, upstairs over the tree canopy and the island towards other neighbouring islands and downstairs immediately onto the pool area.

Steps lead down to outside through to the decked area around the wide infinity pool, which provides not only for sunbathing, reading and relaxing but also entertaining. Set within wild tropical grounds with an Asian themed landscaped garden and further outdoor dining areas, this villa is tranquility brought to life.
