Equipped with solar panels and a battery backup system to ensure uninterrupted electricity, Villa Whalebay also includes fiber-optic internet, electronic shutters, a 24/7 alarm system, and a spacious garage with internal access to the scullery.  
  
Note: Please be aware that due to its unique cliffside location and sophisticated design, the villa is not suitable for children under 14 years of age.  
  
Other things to note
