This high-end Protaras development of 18 vacation residences is situated on a quiet bluff overlooking the Mediterranean. Bleu comprises eight individual three- and four-bedroom residences, ranging in area from 170 m2 to 210 m2, and ten attached three bedroom residences of 140 m2, each with a private garden. The development derives its architectural expression from the indigenous architecture of the region but maintains a functional relationship between the indoor-outdoor spaces that reflects contemporary lifestyles. Traditional materials and finishes of natural rough-cut stone, textured plaster, and natural wood are combined with the practicality and durability of aluminum and coated metals. All of the residences evoke the feeling of lofts, with end-to-end ventilation, and open onto large verandas. Each unit incorporates into its architecture a contemporary adaptation of the traditional “kiosk”, which serves as a protected open-air extension of most of the bedrooms. The development is accessed directly from the Agia Napa-Protaras main road via a private two lane road ending in a cul-de-sac.
