No two days staring out to sea are the same. Whether

you immerse yourself in the local culture, shops and

restaurants, or spend the day out on the water, the curves

of the world’s second largest natural harbour provide an

amphitheatre for you to play out your retirement in.

A small ride on the chain ferry from the Sandbanks

Peninsula sees you landing in Studland. Beaches, cliff

tops and hills give way to quaint seaside and rural

towns each with their own charm to be explored.

Discover the history of Corfe Castle and enjoy dinner

on-board the steam train as it chugs its way to Swanage.

Marvel at the poetry written by the greats, etched

into the rock face at historic Durlston, and search for

fossils on nearby beaches. To satiate the adventurer in

you, hike from Kimmeridge Bay to Lulworth Cove – its

rugged coastal path equals the footfall of Snowdon.

Sail to Brownsea Island, view the classic cliffs of

Durdle Door and Old Harry Rocks, with their far reaching

views to the Isle of Wight and complete your day with

a classic Dorset cream tea. Pause at one of the vantage

points and look across to Poole to see your view

from Vista in reverse, before returning home.

Life in Poole is relaxed – enjoy the golden

sandy beaches, clean waters and easy access

to all amenities. Unlike many seaside towns

Poole does not shut down over the winter,

instead it enjoys a full calendar of events.

People are busy in a positive way, they’re doing

what they want to do with their time. It’s an

addictive vibe to be around, young mix with old

as common interests and experiences are shared.

Rekindle the love for your favourite hobbies or

try something different and make new friends

in the process, the choice is entirely yours.

The vibrant village of Ashley Cross is just a quarter of

a mile from Vista. Home to a bustling scene of award

winning independent businesses you can find everything

you want here from fishmonger’s and butcher’s to

wineries and golf stores. Join friends to play Petanque

on the village green or simply sit back and people watch

from one of the village’s many cafés and eateries.

Community is celebrated in Ashley Cross and there

are a number of annual events on the green to enjoy.

Meanwhile, if you’re seeking bigger brands,

Waitrose and John Lewis Home are just a few

minutes away, positioned alongside a burgeoning

scene of eclectic shops and home stores.

Another ten minutes down the road and you’ll find

yourself in Westbourne, where trendy boutiques and

spas await you. Crossed by a Victorian shopping arcade,

you can’t fail to treat yourself before heading home.

Whether you want to bird watch in peace,

ramble the countryside in groups, take an art

class or finally master windsurfing, your time is

your own and your options are endless.

If the allure of the water is calling you, Poole Harbour

plays home to every water-sport imaginable and has an

abundance of training facilities to get you going safely and

improve your skills. However, if dry land holds more of an

appeal, there are a plethora of activities for you to enjoy.

Within one square mile of Vista there are clubs ranging

from photography, hiking and astronomy to dance classes,

book clubs and facilities for mastering every craft skill

imaginable. Or you might choose to create your very

own club in Vista’s communal lounge or activity room.

Nestled high in wooded hills above Poole,

we’ve used the natural topography to

thoughtfully create 50 apartments that

blend in to the landscape. Long sweeping

balconies face south and benefit from

sunlight all day, floor to ceiling windows

celebrate the abundance of natural light.

Each of the spacious 1, 2 and 3 bedroom

apartments are finished with premium

fixtures and fittings to exude an understated

modern elegance. Kitchens and bathrooms

boast contemporary classic styling and

benefit from the latest low maintenance

and energy efficient systems.

On the ground floor, the communal spaces

and gardens are perfect for catching up

with friends, or to sit back and watch the

ebb and flow of community life at Vista.

Style blends with comfort in Vista’s communal areas

which provide both social and private relaxation space.

A large activity room is available for organised functions,

movie nights can be enjoyed in the TV room and a

private treatment room is on hand. Relax and dine in

the manicured gardens, and entertain friends and family

who can take advantage of the luxurious guest suite.

All special items from bicycles, windsurfing kit and

mobility scooters have their own dedicated storage

lockers, next to Vista’s secure underground parking.
