DRAWING FROM NATURE AS A MUSE, CREATIVE PATTERNS AND INTERESTING LAYERS USHER THE BEAUTY OF THE OUTDOORS INTO THIS EXQUISITE HAVEN

- Annabel Middleton

Flanked by one of the world’s most spectacular natural wonders—Australia’s Great Barrier Reef—this magnifi cent villa on Hamilton Island is undeniably a breathtaking slice of paradise. What sets it apart from typical tropical villas is its immersion in such a beautiful environment, coupled with its sheer size; it comfortably sleeps up to 24 people.

Decorated by internationally acclaimed interior designer Greg Natale, it’s no surprise that this exquisite home is yet another notch in his design belt. Unafraid of contrasts and big, bold elements, Natale’s unapologetic approach is evidenced in his striking interiors, including this gorgeous villa which is featured in his book, The Patterned Interior, published by Rizzoli New York in 2018.

“Hamilton Island is home to stunning native bushland, pristine beaches and world-famous coral reefs,” notes Natale, founder of Greg Natale Design, one of Australia’s leading design studios. “It was the colours, shapes and textures of this unique natural setting that I wanted to weave into the interior design.”

INVITING BEAUTY

At once sophisticated and characterful, Natale’s signature interplay of graphics and patterns is unmistakable in this extraordinary home which offers a luxurious vacation within its own walls. In the tradition of authentic, resort-style living, one of the outstanding features of this astounding eight-bedroom residence is a keen focus on bringing the outdoors in.
