An exquisite luxury private island retreat, exclusive, serene and surrounded by water yet only 30 minutes from the romance of Venice. If you are looking for great privacy, this is the place. Situated in the heart of a lagoon that has inspired some of the most celebrated authors and artists, Isola Santa Cristina is more than just an island retreat; it is a place to gather with friends or family in an exclusive environment, to experience the luxury of space in a well-appointed villa overlooking sweeping natural vistas, and to tap into an inner creativity through a close connection with an unspoiled natural setting.
The Villa offers luxurious accommodation and stylish décor that complement the naturally lush environment. This grand estate features an open floor plan with a spacious, light-filled living room, Venetian-style chef’s kitchen, an expansive dining room that accommodates up to fifteen guests, two master bedrooms, five double, and two single bedrooms with private baths. Outside, a spacious terrace is perfect for entertaining, with a large fireplace to set the mood or cook in the open air. A second patio provides a quiet, secluded nook with natural teak dining set, while a typical Venetian rooftop altana offers dramatic views of the lagoon. The villa's large swimming pool comes complete with stunning teak deck area, gazebo, and lounge chairs.
Offering a personalised service as unique as each guest, its fully bespoke offerings range from complete isolation and autonomy (shop at a neighbouring island and prepare your own meals), to a full-fledged five-star service.
Simply inform us of any special request – the accommodation, cuisine and yoga classes etc. offered can easily be tailored according to your requirements.
In addition, the island has service quarters should you wish to bring your own staff, or, if you prefer, we can assemble a team of handpicked, trusted specialists to suit your daily needs.
It is also possible to arrive via helicopter directly, which boasts its own landing space and is only a few hours flight from most European cities.
