BAREFOOT BAY VILLA

The home focuses on Australian coastal materiality and that touch of quintessential Byron effervescence. With strong contemporary finishes, luxe design elements and natural materials, the inspiration for the Bay Villa was drawn from the raw textures and tones of our breathtaking coastline – bush greens, rust, sandstone, sea foam, warm greys and sandy whites. The home features 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, making it a perfect retreat for a large groups of families and friends.

BEDROOMS and BUNKROOM

GET THE LOOK:

The bedrooms at Barefoot Bay Villa each tell their own story—distinct in mood and materiality, yet deeply connected through a shared design language. Layered with natural textures, soft linens, and tones drawn from the surrounding coastal landscape, every room offers a unique moment of retreat. Some lean into relaxed luxury with deep timbers and moody accents, while others feel light, bright, and breezy—yet together, they feel like part of the same family. Unified by thoughtful details, custom finishes, and a sense of effortless calm, these spaces were designed to both reflect individuality and belong to a greater whole.

The bathrooms and ensuites at Barefoot Bay Villa are a masterclass in relaxed sophistication—each one carefully curated to feel special on its own, yet seamlessly connected to the broader palette of the home. From earthy stone tiles to handcrafted basins and brushed tapware, the materials speak to both functionality and beauty. Some spaces lean into rich texture and contrast, while others embrace lightness and serenity—but all are tied together by a shared focus on natural finishes, timeless details, and a spa-like sense of calm. These are not just bathrooms—they're design-led sanctuaries, each with its own rhythm, yet harmoniously part of the same narrative.

ENTRY AND HALLS

GET THE LOOK:

The entry and hallways at Barefoot Bay Villa set the tone from the moment you arrive—light-soaked, warmly textured, and quietly refined. These transitional spaces are far from an afterthought; they’re intentionally designed to ground the home and guide you through it. Walls are finished in a tactile, hand-applied paint that captures and softens the natural light, creating depth and movement throughout the day. The simplicity of the palette allows the materials to speak—organic, understated, and beautifully imperfect. These passageways become moments of pause, creating a sense of flow and cohesion that ties the home’s unique spaces into a single, serene journey.
