‘He told me not to think about anything else.’ What’s more, Mati only wanted eight ‘very big’ suites, Carmen adds – even though the vast space could have fitted in many more smaller bedrooms.

Holiday homes don’t get much more sophisticated than this: there’s a soundproofed nightclub for up to 80 friends, a home cinema and a hotel-sized pool, complete with Tuuci parasols, shaded cabanas and Loro Piana stripes. ‘Outside, I wanted to create a combination of Ibiza, Italy and Miami together,’ explains Mati. And let’s not forget the sea views and showstopping 100sqm main bedroom complete with its own secret bar.
