Dreaming of a second home on a Mediterranean island is a desire shared by many. To help better understand the different housing possibilities, we have selected four Arras Group projects that represent significant examples of the available solutions: Blue Wave 2, Badesi Countryside, Paradise Villas, and The Beach.
The choice of the ideal residence often comes down to purchasing an independent luxury villa versus buying a unit in a residential complex, such as apartments, townhouses, or semi-detached homes. Both options offer distinct advantages and deserve careful evaluation, especially in charming contexts like Sardinia and Sicily.
Luxury villas embody exclusivity and personalization. These properties offer spacious interiors and exteriors, ensuring a high degree of privacy and the possibility of tailoring the environment to one’s needs and preferences.
Blue Wave 2: Located in the residential neighborhood of Margine Rosso in Quartu Sant'Elena, Cagliari, this villa spans three levels and offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the sea. Surrounded by a magnificent garden with an infinity pool, Blue Wave 2 combines modern design and comfort, ensuring privacy and tranquility just steps away from the beach.
Badesi Countryside: Nestled in the unspoiled nature of northern Sardinia, this exclusive villa is set on approximately 14,000 square meters of land. With 200 square meters of indoor space distributed over two levels, it offers spacious living areas, three bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, and the possibility to customize the outdoor spaces with pools or verandas. It is ideal for those seeking a quiet retreat away from the city bustle.
• Absolute privacy: independent villas guarantee a secluded environment, away from prying eyes.
• Extensive customization possibilities: from the choice of materials to structural modifications, every aspect can be tailored to personal tastes.
• Outdoor spaces: private gardens, exclusive pools, and outdoor relaxation areas offer direct contact with nature.
Housing units within residential complexes offer a combination of comfort, shared services, and very interesting investment opportunities. These solutions are often located in strategic areas and provide a range of additional services that enrich the living experience.
Paradise Villas: this residential complex is located in Quartu Sant'Elena, just a few kilometers from Cagliari. Composed of townhouses and semi-detached homes, it offers housing units up to 200 square meters with private gardens and the possibility to add a pool. The elevated position ensures panoramic sea views, while the proximity to the city provides easy access to essential services.
The Beach: located in the picturesque town of Marzamemi, Sicily, this exclusive residential complex consists of six apartments directly on Spinazza beach. Each unit features two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a spacious living area with an open kitchen. The ground-floor apartments boast a private garden, while those on the first floor offer a solarium with a breathtaking sea view. The privileged location allows immediate beach access and a direct connection with local traditions and culture.
• Shared services: many complexes offer communal pools, fitness areas, well-maintained green spaces, and security services.
• Reduced maintenance: centralized management of common areas reduces the maintenance burden for owners.
• Investment opportunity: units in residential complexes are often easier to rent, offering a return on investment through tourist or long-term rentals.
The decision between an independent luxury villa and a unit in a residential complex depends on various personal and financial factors:
• Lifestyle: those seeking maximum privacy and spacious, customizable areas might prefer an independent villa. Conversely, those desiring additional services and a community environment might opt for a residential complex.
• Budget: luxury villas require a higher initial investment and greater maintenance costs. Units in residential complexes can offer more economical solutions with shared service costs.
• Property use: if the goal is to generate rental income, units in residential complexes, especially in tourist destinations like Sardinia and Sicily, may offer greater demand and easier management.
Both luxury villas and units in residential complexes—whether apartments or townhouses—are excellent options for those dreaming of purchasing a second home in a Mediterranean paradise. The ideal choice depends on one’s needs, preferences, and investment objectives.
Projects such as Blue Wave 2 and Badesi Countryside offer the exclusivity and freedom of a private villa, while solutions like Paradise Villas and The Beach combine comfort and ease of management, always ensuring maximum privacy. Regardless of the choice, both solutions allow you to enjoy the beauty of Sardinia and Sicily, offering a perfect balance between relaxation, convenience, and lasting real estate value.
