Luxury Villas for an Unforgettable Experience
All our villas have outdoor sitting areas and outdoor dining amenities to make the most of the views. You will also find sun loungers to rest and relax, as well as outdoor showers to rinse off the saltwater. You can prepare meals at the BBQ overlooking the sea. Some villas even have water sports equipment so you can enjoy beach living at its best.
Many properties feature private wooden walkways or scenic stone pathways leading directly to the shore. You can take in the views and smell the Cretan herbs as you brush against them while going down to the beach. All beachfront villas have landscaped Mediterranean gardens that blend beautifully with the sea backdrop.
Water Adventures at Your Doorstep
The beauty of the sea is endless. You can watch it, live it, experience it, explore it, and still feel that there is so much to do.
You can swim, dive, or do water sports along the Mediterranean shore. We can also arrange for a private yacht to take you to hidden coves or underwater adventures with guided snorkeling tours. If you want the adrenaline to flow, we can arrange waterskiing, windsurfing, and paddleboarding lessons for beginners. Central Crete offers a variety of activities, such as shopping at the popular Marina Harbor Market.
Coastal Dining
Beachfront living calls for extraordinary dining experiences. Each villa features a fully equipped kitchen where you can prepare a meal with fresh Cretan produce picked from the market. Think of juicy fruit, fresh vegetables, tasty cheeses, sweet honey, and aromatic herbs — not to mention meat, fish, seafood, pies, and everything that Crete has to offer.
If cooking is not your strong point or holidays mean no cooking for you, we can arrange for a private chef to prepare delicacies such as fresh seafood caught that morning.
Dine on traditional Greek specialties at tables set directly on the beach, or enjoy sophisticated meals on sea-view terraces. Many villas include outdoor kitchens and barbecue amenities perfect for casual seaside feasts.
Year-Round Coastal Fun
While summer brings perfect swimming weather and long, sun-filled days, each season offers its own coastal magic.
Spring and autumn, with their mild temperatures, are ideal for beachcombing and water sports. Autumn, in particular, is great for swimming as the sea is still warm but the sun is not too hot.
Winter storms create dramatic seascapes best enjoyed from the comfort of your beachfront villa. Many of our Crete villas have fireplaces, so you get to be cozy inside while the weather unleashes a storm upon the sea.
Wellness by the Water
Everybody is talking about the health benefits of coastal living, and your villa experience will prove them right.
Many properties feature spa facilities and saunas with ocean views and we can organize a massage session where you can enjoy treatments to the rhythm of the waves. Private fitness rooms and gyms overlook the sea for inspiring morning workouts with spectacular views.
Evening Entertainment
As day turns to night, your beachfront villa transforms. Take your dinner outside or prepare a BBQ on the spot. Glass of wine in hand, enjoy the sound of the waves with an authentic Cretan meal. At night, the sea takes on all colors and textures as lights reflect on its surface, and you can even enjoy the full moon brightening up the sky.
