Villa Lumaire - Leisure Island - Knysna

Villa Lumaire is a contemporary masterpiece inspired by an abstract painting — a poetic composition of gold, silver, black, and natural muted tones. This artistic vision has been beautifully reimagined in a home that exudes understated sophistication, balance, and calm.
At its heart lies a striking 10-metre swimming pool, set within a sheltered courtyard that offers complete privacy for relaxed outdoor living and elegant entertaining. Expansive glass doors fold back completely, creating a seamless flow between indoors and out, allowing light and air to move freely through the space.
Inside, every detail reflects the painting’s refined palette. Deep charcoal and matte black accents ground the design, while soft greys, natural stone, and gentle neutral hues introduce a sense of tranquillity. Subtle touches of brushed gold and silver glimmer in light fittings, mirrors, and hardware — a whisper of quiet opulence that enriches rather than dominates.
The furnishings are minimalist yet inviting, with clean modern lines and luxurious textures — linen, suede, and boucle in tones of taupe, sand, and ivory. Organic materials such as wood, marble, and woven fibre add warmth and authenticity, harmonising beautifully with sleek metallic finishes. By day, sunlight dances across the surfaces; by night, soft layered lighting envelops the home in a golden glow.
The result is a living artwork — refined, tranquil, and effortlessly stylish.
Located on the prestigious Leisure Island in Knysna, Villa Lumaire is surrounded by the calm waters of the lagoon and framed by the dramatic Knysna Heads. This exclusive island embodies quiet sophistication, where life unfolds at a leisurely pace and every moment invites relaxation.

Leisure Island is more than a destination — it is a lifestyle. Effortless, elegant, and deeply restorative, it’s the perfect retreat for those seeking serenity, natural beauty, and refined comfort.
A stay at Villa Lumaire is a true indulgence — the ultimate escape for those wanting to unwind, reconnect, and savour the art of luxurious living by the lagoon.
