A single-storey house of pale stone and deep overhangs set directly behind the dune line, built to take the trade winds rather than fight them. Living space runs the length of the plot and opens entirely to a lap pool and shaded loggia. Specification was chosen for salt air: powder-coated aluminium, marine-grade fittings and hardwood joinery throughout. Santa Maria offers the archipelago’s best direct flight access and the deepest short-let demand, which makes the house usable privately and lettable in the weeks you are not there.
