The constantly changing skies and ocean, the boats, wild life, sunrises and sunsets are a spectacular magnet, and the different colors and tones and the sound of the waves and bird life attract us to the essence of life, nature and serenity. The villas at Eagles Nest are the perfect balance and antidote to the hectic, modern, urban lifestyle.
