If you've ever wondered what a seaside abode should look like, this is it.
These luxurious villas all over the world are designed to be havens that combine style, elegance, comfort and panoramic and unobstructed views of the azure blue waters of course. Most of these homes are surrounded by vivid all-green landscape or rough cliffs to make sure the beachside dream houses are private. What makes these seaside abodes so unique and breathtakingly stunning is their minimalist clean design lines and floor-to-ceiling glass panels and windows that are found in most of them so residents always feel connected to the calming waters and gently lapping surf -- and to promote a feeling of freedom and an abundance of space.
