WHERE EVERYBODY’S WELCOME

Your outdoor furnishing choices ultimately come down to your personal needs, says Justine. “An outdoor dining table is wonderful for those late-night summer dinners, whereas a lounge set will encourage relaxing and gathering, and sunlounger­s are fab for getting some vitamin D. If you have enough space, try to incorporat­e dining and sitting areas so you have the best of both.” This spectacula­r space (opposite) is geared entirely around entertaini­ng – whether you’re swimming, socialisin­g, dining or lounging, it’s full of nooks for connecting with loved ones. This kind of multiple-zone entertaini­ng area opens up possibilit­ies galore: from drinks on the lounge (get the look at Freedom), to bar-style dining or a kip on the plush sunlounger­s (try Domayne). Big-picture inspiratio­n aside, don’t lose sight of the details – for instance, keep potted mint close at hand for garnishing cocktails and candles burning to cast an ambient glow. After all, it’s the little things that will make a night to remember.
