On the verge of summer. With the summer season just around the corner, there’s a renewed desire to travel, to explore new horizons, to see and be seen, but also to learn, to grow and to relax. The holidays are almost here, and we’re feeling like we’re growing wings.

In this “Summer Edition” of VILLAS magazine, we take you to the Belgian coast, close to Knokke-Le-Zoute, where we open the doors to some of the finest properties and share our favourites with you.

We also help you explore other major European cities, with the aim of inspiring you to (re)discover the heart of a city, a taste of youth or, quite simply, to breathe in modern life.
