CANDY strides away from what has become a template in interior design of short term rentals with a Jacuzzi and you get to notice that from the very entrance
Four years ago, a spa apartment in New Belgrade would have sounded like a title of a science fiction novel. At the time, apartments with jacuzzis and saunas were something you get to see on foreign websites. Today, at the end of 2016, there are at least two dozen apartments that have a jacuzzi, a half a dozen that have a sauna and at least four with both. What is more, they are nowhere nearly unaffordable as one would expect them to be.
This niche of a niche (short term rentals in Belgrade with a Jacuzzi AND a sauna) has recently been blessed with a rather romantic and special abode in New Belgrade as its poster-boy. The abundance of qualities this apartment has to offer have been channeled into its name. Because, it is, a CANDY. And if you want to check its availability, you can do it straight away.
So, this spa apartment in New Belgrade is a big stride away from the what has become a template in interior design of short term rentals and you get to notice that from the very entrance. The decorative, granite tiles on the wall in an intricate geometrical shape that resembles an Aztec temple, a plethora of lights, and a smart positioning of the reflexive surfaces may warp your perception of the size of the space you’re in (it will appear larger than it is). Besides the unusual colour combination – which combines nuances of bronze, cream white and forest green is a fine innuendo of things to come.
The living room is quite intimate and contemporary in design features. The contours of roof have LED bands along the ridges. If you wish, you can change their colours depending on your mood. The plaster construction that imitates main carrier beam contains two rows of halogen lights that create both functional and accent effect. The two roof widows, let in an abundance of natural light into the apartment (if you wish, of course).
The room also contains a kitchen, with a worktop resembling a console of a space ship. A breakfast bar partitions it from the rest of the room and two gracious bar stools put it to use. This incisively arranged space, with a minimalist and somewhat futurist design, packs a mini bar, a heating plate and a white kitchen sink with quite a bit of designer adeptness.
This spa apartment in Belgrade pleases the hedonists far more subtly…regardless of whether it hosts a leisurely gossip gather or a passionate exchange of bodily fluids.
The living room has a gentle white L-shaped ottoman surrounded by transparent acrylic coffee tables. It can be folded out into a double bed. The alcove opposite to it, snuggled beneath the roofs oblique surface, has a really nice double bed. However, if one takes into account the hedonistic appetites this apartment is supposed to whet, its position kinda kills the point. The ceiling height at that spot favours missionary positions with no more than thirty degrees of rising from the horizontal.
Anyhow, it might be to use is solely as a resting spot after the “efforts”. To ensure that it fulfills this purpose, a comfy mattress, fancy bedding and a set of pillows of different sizes are set on it.
In all honesty, the thing that makes CANDY so special is actually not in the main room. A darkened see-through panel next to the bed reveals a glimpse into the heart of CANDY and that is its bathroom. This section reveals why CANDY is the apartment which brought a well needed refreshment in the offer of Belgrade apartments with a jacuzzi and why it truly offers GREAT VALUE for MONEY. The tinted glass door which leads into the bathroom has an equally tinted ambiance that exhuberates elegance. The walls covered in graffiti coloured tiles and snow white bathroom accessories make a rather effective contrast of the the toilet part of the bathroom. On the other side is the impressive shiny black jacuzzi bathtub for two. It so good looking that you might have a problem to resist the urge to sulk in it upon seeing it.
Its surreal appearance is enhanced with a proper “starry night”. This ingenious effect was accomplished with a mat black panel on the batter of the roof, which was punctured to let out the rays of different colours of LED lights. If you really want to spruce up the erotic atmosphere, there is a set of “black lights” that will truly make the images from CANDY stick with you forever. Just behind the jacuzzi is a neatly packed shower cabin, with its own set of lights and a mysterious and exclusive appearance.
But CANDY wouldn’t be what it is, if it did not contain another element – a Finnish Sauna. This tiny little detail makes it an ingenious form of accommodation that is flexible enough to host encounters that are not exclusively and necessarily sexual. The degree of relaxation it provides may as well be a substitute for what the Russians call a Banya. In Belgrade most of the places that would serve the same purpose are open to general public. In CANDY, you may organise a rather small but private gathering that can serve as an overture to a night out in a relaxing atmosphere. Their convenience should be even greater as the whole apartment has floor heating.
Finally, CANDY avoids clichés big time. In the onslaught of apartments with a jacuzzi, the mirrored ceilings and walls have became a sort of a staple diet. CANDY substitutes these features with a nested, isolated and enormously pleasant ambiance and the games you can play with lights reduce vulgarities to a minimum. This spa apartment in Belgrade aims to slake the hedosnists’ thirst in a far more subtle way regardless of whether it hosts a leisurely gossip gather or a passionate exchange of bodily fluids. Its possibilities are endless for the creative ones.
The only real problem you might have with it is the fact that is sought after. And it’s sought a lot. Until it gets a decent counterpart, you will have to think about booking it well in advance.
And so, if you are looking for a bona fide spa apartment in New Belgrade, do check if CANDY is available. We are convinced that it will exceed your expectations.
