Unfortunately sliding doors won't work...
Maybe I didn't explain it clearly enough but here are some pictures.
Essentially, the left hand side of the cupboard (built poorly by the previous owner) will be replaced with a basic stud wall in the new renovation.
I'm planning to have two pivoting slide doors (approx 1350x700), one for the washing machine and one for the upper part of the cupboard. They'd swing into the left hand side of the cupboard which would give full access and not impede the door opening. The depth of the cupboard is 650mm so the door would stick out by 50mm, leaving enough room for a little handle to pull it back out again.

Long drill bit and slight angle is what I'd do.

I'm not sure you'll find a ceramic drill bit long enough.
Drilling tiles with masonry (or HSS) bits is a ballache, and likely to crack the tile.

Pretty much like that but only want one side...
Their larger product might work if I only have a single door for the whole cabinet.

I had to hang some blinds using angled holes recently and I still seethe that I had to do it. Worked fine though.

You can use them, but I've always found tile-specific bits to be less tile-cracky.

I've built a cabinet with pocket doors before. I used the pocket door mechanisms from Hafele. The pockets do end up eating into cupboard space but they work fine, you need to think about handles because most don't really work, although the doors in your example are very long and don't really fit in the pockets so handles would work. I did it for a big cabinet that had a TV installed so that the sky box/ps3 etc could get some air without the doors flapping about. I'd consider other options though, sliding doors is a good suggestion.
