A stone's throw from the beach in the upmarket and historic district of Halepa, this charming Chania studio apartment offers the perfect blend of city and beach living.

From the moment you step inside, you'll be blown away by the Mexican-inspired decor. Cactuses and houseplants provide a touch of the exotic, with macrame wall hangings, rustic wooden furniture and a bamboo-based bed all adding to the barefoot bohemian vibes.

Step through the sliding doors and take in stunning sea views from the balcony – it's the perfect setting for that first coffee of the day sat in stylish  Acapulco chairs. The sound of the waves lapping gently at the shore will lead you on a short walk to the nearby beach, making it easy to spend your days soaking up the sun and swimming in crystal-clear Mediterranean waters.

As the golden glow of evening descends, make your way into Chania's atmospheric old town for a glimpse into the city's rich history and culture. Here, narrow maze-like streets lead you on a merry dance around the picturesque Venetian harbour, with its colourful boats bobbing in the water and the impressive fortress looming in the background.

This charming villa sits in the peaceful village of Koxari. It boasts sea views and countryside vistas, which can be enjoyed from the terrace and beside the private pool. There’s a barbecue for alfresco dining on the patio, too. Inside, the villa is pretty and traditional. One of the bedrooms is on the mezzanine so is semi-open to the living space below, which isn’t entirely private – but could suit families with younger children. In terms of location, you’ll be just a five-minute drive from the village of Gouves, and ten minutes from pristine beaches.

Imagine sipping a glass of cold Vidiano under the shade of a carob tree, surrounded by luscious fauna – that’s exactly what you can expect from a stay at this stone villa in Plaka. The villa itself is traditional, and you can see this in the interiors, too – those seeking authentic charm over modernity will appreciate the original features. The garden is definitely a highlight, with open spaces to share Greek dinners and secluded spots under the shade for downtime with your book.

Set in a peaceful enclave on a rural Cretan hillside, this breathtaking villa combines modern ambiance with an unbeatable location. An ode to its surroundings, the huge windows in each room look out onto the blue mountains and the Mediterranean sea. Mornings are best started with a dip in the infinity pool, while you soak up the vistas. There is a breezy stone pergola to gather beneath for al fresco lunch, and a barbecue for grilling local fish and meats. 

Inside, ambient lighting lends warmth to the cool stone interiors. Come evening, curl up to watch the sun set from the sofas or take a cocktail out on the terrace. The villa is 500m from the nearest food shop, while the beach is 1km away. The regional capital of Chania can be reached in 20 minutes by car, where you will find gorgeous beaches, excellent restaurants and a buzzy atmosphere in the evening – athough you may never want to leave your secluded paradise.

Imagine waking up to the sight of the sea, nibbling on freshly delivered breakfasts on the patio and soaking in the jacuzzi as the sun goes down over the water. Sounds like a dream, right?

With a sparkling pool, hydromassage bathtubs and slide-away glass walls to make the most of the ocean view, this idyllic getaway is the pinnacle of Grecian living. It's a slice of paradise that's entirely yours to call home, where you can dine alfresco in the evening sun or cuddle up on the sofa for a movie night. The design is simple, laid-back and sleek, with lots of white hues and concrete accents, but it has everything you'll need and more – guests have the option to hire a private chef, arrange guided tours or book at-home massages and yoga sessions.

Nearby Livadia is a charming village steeped in tradition, where fishermen peddle their catch-of-the-day in the harbour and locals dine out at the traditional taverns. But if you fancy a day trip, Chania is just over an hour away by car, while the famous rose-coloured sand on Elafonisi Beach is about a half-an-hour drive.

On the picture-perfect south coast of Crete, in the quaint village of Mariou, this serene villa beckons. With views over the seaside landscape, this home showcases all of the natural beauty this Greek island has to offer.

Start the day by brewing a fresh cup of coffee before opening up the patio doors and stepping out onto the private terrace. Take a seat on the outdoor sofa and enjoy the breathtaking views over the Crete coastline. For a leisurely day at home, take a dip in the swimming pool then retire to a sun lounger to read a book or simply watch the world go by.

When you do fancy leaving the terrace, there’s plenty of natural beauty to discover, with the striking Preveli beach just 3 miles away. If beach hopping is your thing, we’d recommend renting a car and driving 3km to Plakias, which is home to some of the best beaches in Crete - the scenic drive past mountains and the Libyan sea makes the trip even more worth your while.

Where do we start with this villa just outside Agios Pavlos? There's so much to love. Firstly it's under 250 metres from the beach – that caught our eye straight away. And then there are those immaculate views over the shimmering sea that are enough to make anyone swoon with holiday envy. The vistas over the water are absolutely stunning from sunrise to sunset, best enjoyed over long alfresco meze lunches before cooling off in the private pool or simply relaxing on the daybeds as you work on your tan.

You'll be pleased to know, too, that this home was built in harmony with the natural environment and follows the principles of bioclimatic design, so it almost has zero energy consumption. Inside, the decor is stylish and sleek with its concrete finishes and intricately carved wood panels. The hewn stone sink in the main bedroom's en-suite is a real feature too. 

With direct access to the beach, you can go for a swim in the sea, or it's 3 kilometres to the nearest taverna, café, bar and mini-market (all open from April to October).


Serenity Bay

The sweeping coastal views from this newly-built villa may be heaven-sent, but it’s the lengthy pool and stylish sun terraces which are getting us hot under the collar. An excellent choice for two couples sharing, each bedroom has direct access to the wraparound panoramic balcony and an en-suite shower room to kickstart your day. Location-wise, the centre of Elounda and its wide sandy beach and seafront restaurants are just a two-kilometre stroll downhill –⁠ and you can always hop in a taxi on your way back home later.

This stunning stone home built into the rust red slope of a hill in the Cretan seaside village of Agio Pavlos is the stuff dreams are made of. A unique architectural marvel, this beautiful, bioclimatic home exists in harmony with the natural landscape and boasts uninterrupted sea views as well as a private patio, alfresco dining and lounging area and plunge pool. Perfect for eco-conscious couples, this mythic home features a lovely light filled, open plan kitchen cum dining and living room courtesy of floor to ceiling sliding glass doors which open out onto the patio. The interior savvy among you will appreciate the intelligent use of natural materials – think beautifully blue patterned tiles against whitewashed walls, wooden worktops, sideboards and stools, wicker lampshades and smooth stone floors – and prevalence of shades of blue which combine to create a soothing and serene aesthetic.  

You’ll love gazing out to sea from the privacy of your patio, lazing on loungers in the sun and cooling off with a dip in your private pool before rinsing off under the outdoor shower in time for a Greek salad or oúzo o’ clock. A mere 250 metres from the beach, a beachfront café-bar and a local tavern, you’ll be able to paddle or peddle boat in gorgeous green waters as well as indulge in copious amounts of Cretan cuisine within minutes – what’s not to love?

Perched on the banks of Lake Kournas, this home has some of the most beautiful lake views, and when you’re out on the terrace at just the right angle, it might even give you the impression of floating right above the deep blue body of water.

Given all the outdoor space has to offer – there’s also views of the Chania mountains – we won’t blame you if you spend entire days poolside, only ever moving to top up your drink or apply another layer of sunscreen. With a table set up right on the terrace, you can even dine alfresco – we recommend meze platters of salty olives and feta cheese alongside a refreshing beer. 

After lazy mornings spent chatting and drinking coffee in the light living space, you can venture down to the lake to rent a paddleboat. Spend sunny afternoons on the shimmering water as the breeze rustles the leaves and when you’re done, head up to the local taverna for a bite to eat. 

Kalyvaki is a short drive away if spending sun-drenched days on a stretch of sandy beach sounds like your cup of tea, but exploring Crete’s beauty can also take you towards the waterfall, Quellen von Argiroupoli. Explore the island, eat, drink, and relax, and if nothing else, enjoy the sense of peace that goes along with staring out over a lake. 

Between a Lake & a Hard Place

Treat the senses to a relaxing stay in this home perched on the southern shores of Crete. From here, you can enjoy direct access to the beach where you’ll find sun loungers and kayaks. There is also a private heated pool, a children's playground and an outdoor lounge – perfect for sunset drinks. Housekeeping is included in your stay and the concierge service is on hand to organise extras like welcome hampers and a private chef. You will need a car to get around here, but it’s just a ten-minute drive to Ierapetra, while Agios Nikolaos and Elounda are also within driving distance.

Lap up the prime location of this luxurious holiday villa, boasting Mediterranean vistas of the mountainous landscape from the garden. Picture it now; you're lounging by the pool with a fresh cold drink in hand in blissful seclusion. From the terrace area, take full advantage of the Greek sun at every opportunity – whether you're sitting at the terrace lounge area, sinking into the bean bags or chilling out amidst the stylish interiors – an abundance of natural daylight energises this home. 

Neutral tones, chic furnishings and soft fabrics create a comfortable space to kick back after a day of discovering all that Crete has to offer. Located in the heart of Amoudara, you'll be just 5 kilometres away from the centre of Heraklion. Explore the city's medieval streets, paving the way to an array of cafes, bars and restaurants. For a more relaxed vibe, take a stroll from the villa down to the nearest beach, only 100 metres away, where you'll find a stunning stretch of sand and the ideal setting for sunbathing and swimming. 


The Parrot's Perch

With the Mediterranean Sea as your neighbour, beach lovers will be instantly drawn to this coastal villa. Complete with a rooftop terrace, multiple modern living spaces and blue views over Sitia bay, the special home is the perfect base to explore this popular Greek island.

Located on the easternmost edge, Sitia is an unspoiled town that offers an authentic glimpse into Cretan life. Immerse yourself in the country's culture at the Archaeological Museum, a small but fascinating collection of Minoan artefacts. After a twenty-five-minute drive inland, delight in the wondrous Richtis Gorge, a warren of scenic hiking routes that lead to an idyllic waterfall.

Your temporary villa is sectioned into three parts, each with its own living room and kitchen, so you can experience peace and quiet even if travelling in a larger group. Come together by the freshwater pool and grill some locally-grown grub on the stone barbecue. As the lights fade over the inky blue waters, sip your tipples and reflect on your time in paradise.

Sitia Pretty

From the near-constant cloudless sky to the crystalline Aegean Sea and the shimmering private swimming pool – this place is an ode to the colour blue. Three kilometres away, you’ll find the calm shallows of the nearest sandy beach and the charming town of Chania is a short drive along the coast. Right on your doorstep (within 200 metres), you’ve got cafés, bakeries, tavernas and a mini market to stock up on supplies.

If you’re not cooling off from the Crete sun in the swimming pool, our favourite spot is the table and chairs on the covered veranda, facing a panorama of Crete’s stunning coastline. This is a great spot to dine of an evening. Inside, the home is split between two apartments, each with its own kitchen and living room. On the first floor, the living room is a grand space with marble floor, candelabra and velvety tufted sofas. Two full kitchens across the whole home mean it’s easy to cater for huge group meals and two living rooms give everyone enough space to spread out. The peace and quiet are blissful in bedrooms and each room has its own access to the terrace or a first-floor balcony. 

Lapis on Lapis

Sauna

Located on the outskirts of Plaka, this stylish villa occupies a prestigious hillside spot, offering sensational views over the Elounda Gulf. Boasting chic furnishings and great attention to detail, the warm hues of the home blend harmoniously with its natural surroundings. Start the day by stepping onto the terrace to enjoy the spectacular seascapes from one of the comfy day beds, before a cooling dip in the private infinity pool. 

Venture down to the garden's lower level and you'll find a lush green lawn with a children's play area, perfect for keeping the little ones entertained. If you ever manage to tear yourself away from the villa, you needn't venture too far to get a taste of Plaka, with steps from the terrace leading down to a pebble beach. Relax on the shores and let the waves wash over your toes for a while. Hikers will no doubt appreciate the area's towering mountains that house numerous caves to explore.

At the end of an adventure-filled day, head home to whip up some Greek-inspired dishes in the outdoor kitchen. We highly recommend dining alfresco beneath the pergola, then moving over to the outdoor lounge to enjoy a few cocktails while the sun sets over the horizon.


Harmony in the Hills 

Workplace

Capitalising on the beauty of the natural Crete landscape, this modern villa is built with views of the Aegean Sea and surrounding mountains. Though that'll draw you outside, you'll stay for the infinity pool and alfresco dining table. There are also bean bags and sun loungers to ensure you're making the most of the sunshine. Inside, modern features ensure that all of the family are comfortable. As for your location, you're near Plaka, where you can dine and shop. What about the beach, you ask? The closest one is only 700 meters away.

The Sea Bride

Courtyard

Hammock

Outdoor Fireplace / Firepit

This rural villa is perfect for a group of friends or two families, with two separate apartments that join across a central courtyard and swimming pool. This modern space has been lovingly restored, so you can appreciate the classic features alongside the new. We especially love the outdoor area, where we imagine you’ll spend most of your time lounging and dining alfresco. There’s a handy sofa bed for a seventh guest and two practical kitchenettes here. What’s more, your host can arrange private chefs, fridge fills and massages – ideal for maximising retreat mode. And when you feel like a beach day, you’re just 2km from the north coast.

Olive Serenity

Exercise Equipment

The huge outdoor space at this contemporary villa caught our eye. There’s a well-kept lawn, a heated pool, hammocks and a shady dining area to enjoy, all with fantastic sea views. Inside, the open plan areas have been designed to let in lots of natural light and the decor is simple yet stylish. There’s even a private sauna here, which you don’t find in many Greek villas. And when you’re ready to explore, the nearest beach is within walking distance and the buzzing town of Heraklion is just a short drive away.    

From the Pool to the Horizon

A few metres from the Venetian Walls, this apartment grants you easy access to the heart of the city. Here you'll find a balcony for your downtime and an open-concept living space, great for itinerary planning. Having one shower between eight guests means waiting your turn, and there's no lift to take you upstairs. But this home is all about location. Don't feel like cooking? There are plenty of restaurants at hand. As for sightseeing, you can walk to the Heraklion Archaeological Museum.

Odyssey in Blue

Step-Free Access

Fancy a refreshing dip in the Mediterranean sea each morning? Follow the short 10-metre private path, and from here, you'll have direct access to its crystal waters. Those who prefer to spend their days in a more luxurious setting stay by the sparkling swimming pool equipped with its own sunken bar and lounge area to enjoy instead.

Lounge out on the day beds to soak up the sunshine, or head up to the viewing platform for not only the best panoramic views in the house looking over the glimmering bay but – a scenic spot to work on your fitness routine (as there's gym equipment installed for prime viewing time). 

For the competitive type, why not play a game of petanque in the garden before firing up the wood-burning pizza oven for an evening spent in good company? 

As you transition into the house, natural stone floors flowing from indoor and outdoor living spaces create a social setting, whether you prefer to be out in the sun or amidst the cool and shaded interior. Get comfortable on the cosy couches and admire the art installations that inject style and sophistication into the contemporary setting.

With the quaint village of Plaka just a two-minute drive away and the nearest sandy beach reachable in five minutes – this place boasts both comfort practicality. Oh, and we can't reiterate enough those magical, swoon-worthy views. 


Lifted Spirits

With the beach just 250 metres away, this beautiful home makes use of natural elements and a boho touch to instil a sense of tranquillity that’s only helped along by the breathtaking sea views from the terrace. 

Embrace a slower pace by staying in bed long after you’ve woken up just so you can read another chapter. Eventually, drag yourself out towards the kitchenette where you can grab a coffee to enjoy out on the terrace. Savour the sounds and smells of the ocean as you watch the horizon from the hanging egg chair, or fill out a crossword puzzle at the outdoor dining table. The latter, coincidentally, is the perfect place for an alfresco breakfast, but you can always head out to the local cafe, just under two miles away.

Bask in the sun as you read on the daybed and hop into the plunge pool whenever you need a bit of cooling down. Take a walk down to the beach and enjoy the sunset together before slowly making the trip back for a night of charades in the living space. 


Poseidon's Lullaby

This beautiful, traditional stone house on the edge of Prines, set on a gentle, west-facing slope, has wonderful mountain and sea views. Relax in the Crete sun by the private pool – we love the beautifully maintained garden with its vibrant flowers and verdant hedges. Later in the day, watch the rich sun set over the sea from the large balcony with a glass of wine. 

Inside, exposed stone, beams and arches create an atmospheric space, especially at night, and several sofas accommodate your family or friends for a good chat before dinner.

Situated in a cul-de-sac, it’s a leisurely stroll to the village centre, where there is a mini market and a choice of tavernas and cafe bars if you prefer to eat out. Or head to Rethymno, with its old Venetian harbour, 6 kilometres away. For a day at the sea, the nearest beach is 3 kilometres from this lovely villa. 




Stone Arches

Indoor Pool

With beautiful views over Spinalonga Island, this villa has a wonderful location – we particularly love the vistas from the bedrooms and living room. On chilly nights, there’s a feature wood burner to cosy up in front of and when it's lovely and warm there’s a stone wall-enclosed terrace with a small pool/Jacuzzi to relax in. Out and about, go for a stroll on one of the stunning beaches of Elounda Bay or head to Agios Nikolaos with its array of bars and restaurants.

Located in the village of Kastelli on Crete’s northwest coast, this stunning villa blends into its picturesque natural surroundings with a stone and timber exterior perched atop a hill. 

Inside, the modern living area proffers breathtaking views across the mountains and the Aegean Sea, best enjoyed while relaxing on the sectional or while gathered at the breakfast bar for drinks and canapés.

The main bedroom offers equally wow-worthy vistas from its private balcony, as well as from its luxurious en-suite soaking tub – the ideal spot to retreat to after a day of pampered lounging. 

Speaking of taking it easy, the home’s outdoor area beckons endless hours of fun and carefree relaxation with its infinity pool, outdoor seating and barbecue. Whether you’re enjoying an alfresco breakfast while catching some rays or sitting down to a feast beneath the stars, you’ll love the panoramic living backdrop this coveted spot provides. 

Outside of your home, sandy Viglia Beach is a twenty-five-minute walk away or a five-minute drive, Paralia Mavros Μolos beach is a nine-minute drive and bustling Chania is forty minutes away by car. 


Azure Adagio

Private Parking

Perched only a kilometre away from the nearest beach and within walking distance of the local cafes and traditional taverns – this charming Cretan villa sets the scene for a serene holiday in the sunshine. On an expansive plot surrounded by olive trees, lawn areas, and a big variety of fruit trees, vegetables, and herb plants (which you're free to pick and cook with) – the Mediterranean setting here is what dreams are made of. 

Kick back, relax and disconnect from the rest of the world amidst a haven of peace. Whether that means you're lounging on the floating day beds in the private swimming pool, getting stuck into your holiday read in a shaded spot on the patio area, terrace or balcony – or perhaps you'll prefer to spend your time soaking up the villa's fabulous interiors. With contemporary chic designs found in each and every room, letting your cares and worries float free when staying here. The only constraint you'll encounter will be when it's time to leave. 





Float n' Fly 

Set on a hill, 800 metres from the glorious Crete coastline, you’ll find this modern villa set behind remote-controlled electric gates. What we love about this place is that you can see the snow-capped mountains and the sea. You can enjoy amazing sunset views over the bay of Chania from this home’s heated pool, terrace and balconies, as well as from inside too. Indoors, there’s plenty of room in the stylish open plan living space to entertain your family or friends.

Pomegranate Wine

Rooftop Terrace

Sitting right on the coastline in the resort town of Kolymbari, you couldn't ask for a better view of the Chania Gulf than the uninterrupted panorama enjoyed at this villa. As you might imagine, there are plenty of spots from which to sit and simply take it all in, whether from the first-floor balcony or under the shade of the seafront gazebo.

Against this beautiful backdrop, you're spoilt for ways to pass summer days. The curvy swimming pool will be a faithful companion during the hottest part of the afternoon and there's even an adjoining children's section so little 'uns can join in on the fun. Surrounding this, you'll find loungers on which to soak up some rays, as well as a barbecue and dining table ready and waiting for alfresco feasts.

Although it's certainly a show-stealing outdoor space, we're wowed by the villa's interior, too. Traditional aspects, such as the exposed stonework and terracotta tiles, lend a homely charm, while the large windows let in lots of natural light – as well as looking out to that view. We also like the pair of smartly tiled bathtubs that will sing to those who love nothing more than a long and unrushed sofa, as well as the ping-pong table for the ultra-competitive among the group.

With the sea this close to the house, you probably don't need us to tell you that the beach can be reached in a matter of seconds. In the wider area, you're well served for restaurants and taverns, while the 13th-century Gonia Monastery lies just up the coastline and is well worth a visit. The same can be said for the city of Chania, 23km in the opposite direction.

Talk About Photogenic

There’s nothing like a cup of coffee on a calm morning after you’ve spent the first night in your holiday home. Factor in breathtaking views from almost all angles of your seaside villa and you’ll feel like you’re in a dream that you never want to wake up from. There’s a private suite with its own lounge, kitchenette and bedroom – made for moments when you need a breather and some time to yourself. When it’s sunny out, head to the terrace for lunch and daytime drinks with friends. A swim before dinner will round off your evening on a pleasant note and for those days when you’re willing to venture out, the sandy beaches of Marathi and Loutraki are a five-minute drive away.

Sweet Sea Breeze

Sun Umbrellas

This villa is in a handy location, just three hundred metres from the traditional Greek village of Piskopiano and within a mile and a half of a handful of beaches. While the minimalist decor may not be to everyone’s tastes, there’s plenty to enjoy here, including an integrated Jacuzzi in the swimming pool, spectacular sunsets, and views of the Aegean Sea from the balcony. You’re also only twelve miles from one of Crete’s must-see landmarks, the ancient Palace of Knossos.

Aegean View

Mini Bar

Bicycles

Steam Room

A thoroughly down-to-earth home positioned a twenty-minute drive from Kalami Beach, this charming villa is rustic and relaxing. You’ll feel instantly at ease in the living space – we loved the dark wood, timber beams, antique furnishings and yellow-painted stucco walls. 

Spend mornings slow and steady with a coffee at the dining table before slipping on your flip flops and exploring the grounds. There’s a pool for keeping cool on hot afternoons and a fitness room for keeping active between sunbathing sessions.  

Pick up local cheese and wine from the quaint on-site shop and enjoy on the shaded terrace. Head to the rooftop for sweeping views of the Cretan Sea – though should you fancy a closer look, take the nineteen-minute car ride to Kalyves and watch the tide ebb and flow from the shoreline. Return home in the evening for a serious pampering session in the steam room and a blissful night’s sleep beneath your bed’s airy canopy.
