Family Friendly Villas in Crete

Family-Friendly Villas

Crete is the most family-friendly island you could ever imagine. People are welcoming and helpful, so you’ll feel right at home. When you book a villa from CreteVillas4u, you will enjoy the perfect family-friendly accommodation to make your Cretan holidays unforgettable. All family members, from the oldest to the youngest will feel right at home. 

The whole purpose of going on holiday is for everyone in the family to have fun. Our family-friendly villas give parents the time and space to unwind in comfort and luxury while their children enjoy themselves under the Cretan sun.

What Makes a Villa Family-Friendly?

A family-friendly villa is designed with families' needs in mind. The living areas are safe, comfortable and enjoyable for everyone. Key features of a family-friendly villa include a safe swimming pool to prevent children from wandering off, enclosed gardens and plenty of outdoor spaces as the backdrop for running and playing. 

Location is also key. A family-friendly villa should be situated in a safe and quiet area, ideally within walking distance of local amenities and attractions. Families that have visited Crete greatly appreciate easy access to supermarkets, restaurants, and entertainment options without the hassle of long drives.

Our family-friendly villas include child-friendly amenities such as highchairs and cots. Additionally, some villas also offer a range of activities and games, like pool tables, table tennis, and board games to keep children of all ages entertained. 

A Perfect Space for Families

Open-plan living areas bring the outdoors and the indoors close together. They are perfect for keeping an eye on the little ones from the comfort of the kitchen or the living room. All villas have been carefully designed to give families areas where they can unwind, play, or have fun together, but with private areas as well for parents to relax on their own. The villas have spacious bedrooms and children’s bedrooms, some with bunk beds. You can even request a cot if you have babies traveling with you.

We have chosen our family-friendly villas for the services and amenities they offer to parents and families, including child-friendly features like game rooms, safe gardens, and child-proofing elements.

Child-Friendly Pool Paradise in Family-Friendly Villas

Family-friendly villas feature private swimming pools, often with shallow areas for children to play safely. These areas offer endless entertainment for young swimmers, although we have seen plenty of parents enjoy these parts of the swimming pool above anything else! Some villas also offer a heated swimming pool which means you get to enjoy the pool even when the weather turns cooler. 

Wide pool terraces include shaded sections, perfect for outdoor family meals and poolside relaxation. Children can splash and play while adults supervise from comfortable loungers nearby.

Family-Focused Amenities for Every Age

The kitchens in our family-friendly villas in Crete are fully equipped to make cooking and baking a joy. This includes dishwashers, mixers, cookers, and all necessary amenities that come in handy when preparing meals for toddlers and young children.

Spacious dining areas, both indoor and outdoor, accommodate family meals and make eating a moment to celebrate and have fun.

Baby equipment such as cots and high chairs is readily available upon request, giving you peace of mind and a chance to relax during your holiday in Crete.

As for fun activities, our family-friendly villas come with entertainment systems throughout to keep everyone connected and entertained. And, of course, the dedicated game rooms will be particularly appreciated by older children—and parents!

Choosing the Right Villa

If you are unsure about the type of family-friendly villa that fits your needs, we are here to answer questions and help you choose. 

Pick a location with proximity to local amenities and attractions. Being close to supermarkets, restaurants, and entertainment options can make your stay more convenient and enjoyable. 

Think about the size and layout of the villa and whether it will accommodate your family’s needs. Look for villas that offer child-friendly amenities such as highchairs and cots. Check safety features like a gated or fenced pool and secure outdoor spaces.

Most villas are close to child-friendly beaches with gentle slopes and calm waters. Many are conveniently located near local amenities, such as supermarkets, family restaurants, and medical facilities. Crete also has water parks, traditional villages, an aquarium, archaeological sites, and other places of interest that make it perfect for family day trips. 

Lasting Family Memories

All the villas feature private swimming pools, expansive gardens, and outdoor spaces. Some have playgrounds for children to play and explore. Many have gardens planted with local trees, herbs, and plants, while some have large olive groves worth discovering.

Covered terraces offer perfect spots for family board games or afternoon reading sessions. Multiple living areas help the whole family find their perfect spot, whether for group activities or quiet moments. Families with children of different ages will love how the villas combine privacy and communal areas.
