Set on a hill, 800 metres from the glorious Crete coastline, you’ll find this modern villa set behind remote-controlled electric gates.

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.

With stunning sea views, a gorgeous swimming pool and a bubbling hot tub, this villa has everything you could want from a Greek getaway with family and friends. 

The interior offers guests barefoot luxury at its finest, with close attention to detail to create a stylish and relaxing home from home. White walls provide a blank canvas to eye-catching artwork, elegant wooden furniture and vibrant window blinds in the bedrooms. In addition, practically every room in the villa enjoys direct access to the outdoors – whether it's the poolside patio on the ground floor or private terraces on the upper level – creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience. 

Step through the sliding glass doors, and you'll discover the outdoor areas have been given the same level of care as inside, which makes them a real jewel in the crown of this home. Not only is there the aforementioned infinity pool and hot tub for the adults, but you'll also find a separate children's pool, chic sun loungers and teak-framed furniture to sink into. 

If you can tear your eyes away from the views out over Souda Bay, the nearby village of Kokkino Chorio has a glass blowing factory where you can watch masters at work. Alternatively, head west along the coast to the beautiful Venetian port town of Chania, a little over thirty kilometres away, before continuing on to some of the island's most stunning beaches, including Falassarna and Elafonisi – both within day-trip distance.

Overlooking the bay of Chania, the views from this home are pretty impressive. And while it's tucked away in the hills of Kokkino Chorio, you'll find it's just 1.5 kilometres from the nearest beach – making this a great setting for a coastal escape. You will have neighbours here, but the terrace and swimming pool provide a wonderful sense of privacy – making it easy to switch off and soak up the idyllic scenery. You’ll also find an outdoor kitchen, barbecue and plenty of chill-out areas. And should you feel inclined to leave the cooking to the professionals – your host can arrange for a private chef to do it all for you.

Perched on the northern coast of Crete, this villa has a glorious view of the glistening Aegean Sea and plenty of ways to enjoy it. Out through the large glass doors, there's a swimming pool with a shallower section for children that looks out over this panorama, as well as a selection of loungers, sofas and an alfresco dining table.

Inside, the ground level is minimalist in spirit thanks to the sleek white kitchen, glass-fronted fireplace and modern teak furniture. Upstairs, the bedrooms are a little more characterful, especially the master with the four-poster bed. All three sleeping quarters have direct access to the balcony, so you can feel the sunshine on your face seconds after you wake up.

The closest village is Kokkino Chorio, which will be recognisable to anybody who has seen the 1964 film Zorba the Greek, as this was where many of the scenes were shot. A drive of five minutes will get you to a glass-blowing factory where you can watch demonstrations, and the same amount of time will also get you to Koutalas Beach.

Dance the Sirtaki

Lift Access

Overlooking panoramic views of the Mediterranean seascape out across Souda Bay, this home in Kokkino Chorio is sure to have you mesmerised from the moment you arrive. 

Step outside and onto the wrap-around terrace separated with different living and entertainment areas. Whether you prefer to take in the views from the jacuzzi hot tubs, recliner sun loungers, sparkling infinity pool or from the alfresco dining area – prepare to be in awe of the natural beauty that surrounds you. 

Inside, you'll find interiors that nod to minimalism with earthy tones injecting a touch of bohemian style to the dreamy designs. The living room, in particular, presents a space that makes relaxing here oh so easy – as there's even a cosy log burner fireplace to make the most of should you stay during the cooler months. 

Feel like you're staying at a luxury five-star hotel resort, with finishing touches including organic bath products, bathrobes and luxury linens. Not to mention the intensive array of gadgets available to keep the kids entertained for example – as you'll have free access to the home's iPad mini (with preloaded helpful information), a PlayStation 3 and Apple TV so that you can stream your favourite series come evening time. 

Immerse yourselves in the local culture of Kokkino Chorio, known as the "red village", where you'll find the Crete island lifestyle and Greek food in abundance. Positioned just a five-minute drive away from the village's glass blowing factory, why not learn something new here? Plus, you'll be able to pick up some hand-made souvenirs to take home with you in the process.

This may just be the most amenity-laden home we've ever seen. Everything you could want from a Greek villa, from a table-tennis table and Playstation to a hot tub and BBQ, is waiting just for you. It's like having the freedom of a five-star resort all for yourselves.

The villa isn't just drenched in high-class facilities, it features something for every style, age and mood. Kids can go wild in the games room, testing their skills on the PlayStation or table football table. Adults can peruse the goods in the wine cooler before enjoying a glass of red in the hot tub. It's luxury at every hour. 

The whole family or group of friends can gather by the pool in the sun-soaked afternoons, frolicking underneath the summer sky. When sun sets on the deluxe villa, the BBQ and cosy seating areas are idyllic social spots to share good food and conversation. 

If you do wish to leave the extravagance of the villa, the vibrant charm of Kokkino Horio is just five minutes away. Here, you'll find a secluded beach, perfect for peaceful afternoons, and a wealth of water sport options. It matches every vibe.

This beautiful home can be found perched on the side of a cliff looking over the coast of Crete. If sweeping views and magnificent sunsets are your thing, you’ll love this villa. 

As you swim in the infinity pool, your eye is drawn to the bay below, where yachts cruise by and small fishing boats bob in the distance. From the villa’s elevated position, the views are spectacular – at sunset there’s no better place to be than on the terrace with a cocktail. The poolside terrace has plenty of comfy seating, so you’re all set whether you like to lie out in the sun all day or prefer to read in the shade. The pergola provides shade over the outdoor dining table too, making your alfresco meals an absolute delight. There’s a barbecue and an outdoor kitchen – you might like to book a private chef to prepare a celebratory dinner. 

The villa’s interior is just as stylish, and the view can be admired from the open-plan living and dining space. When you wake up in the morning, you can roll out of bed and straight onto a balcony. Perhaps you’ll enjoy an early-morning yoga session – with only the view for an audience, it’s the perfect spot for it. 

There are plenty of beaches within easy reach of the villa. Drive six minutes to Koutalas for a quiet day on the sand. For a more action-packed beach trip, Almyrida is just eight minutes away. Try your hand at windsurfing or paddleboarding before enjoying lunch at one of the seafront restaurants.

Set on a remote Cretan hillside, away from the high rise hotels and built up beaches, this villa is a sanctuary for relaxation and joy. You will be floored by the breathtaking views of the coast, which you can enjoy while taking a dip in the expansive infinity pool. There are plenty of deck chairs and outdoor spots where you can relax and soak up your surroundings, and come evening there’s nothing better than a sunset barbecue for dinner beneath the pergola (perhaps followed by a little ouzo). 

Your host is on hand 24/7 to assist with anything you might need: there is the option to have a private chef, as well as boat and yacht tours, massages and transportation, so you need not lift a finger during your stay.

The villa is down the road from Kokkino Chorio, a traditional Cretan village with a smattering of beautiful churches, a handy supermarket, and local tavernas serving traditional Greek fare. You are less than a kilometre from stunning coastline, where there are many pristine beaches and cave systems to explore by boat, including the famous Elephant Cave, a diving spot for the intrepid amongst the group. This is the kind of villa you will want to return to for years.

Located in the Apokoronas region of Crete, this villa offers the perfect introduction to island life. With plenty of space for your favourite people and fabulous sea views, you're guaranteed to have a great time during your glorious Greek getaway. 

There's a real sense of modern luxury inside, thanks to the natural textures and contemporary furnishings in shades of white and blue. If you want to hide from the heat, then you can flop down on the sofa or take a nap in one of the lavish bedrooms – however, we think you'll want to spend most of your time outside. Slide open the patio door and admire the fabulous coastal vistas, before plunging into the sparkling swimming pool for a refreshing dip. And, when evening rolls around, you can fire up the barbeque for an alfresco feast as the sun sets over the water. 

The sandy shoreline of Almirida Beach is just a five-minute drive away, where you can paddle in the glittering waters or soak up the sun. The surrounding town has several tavernas serving local dishes along with a range of cafés and shops. And, if you fancy a day trip, then the ancient town of Chania is just a forty-minute drive away.

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

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

Perched high up on a hillside, this villa caught our eye for its incredible views over the bay of Chania. And with numerous balconies and terraces, you’ll have a choice of where to enjoy them from. Add to that a private infinity pool, shady pergolas, and a living area overlooking the sea, and you have all the ingredients for a laidback Greek getaway. Located just 800 metres from the Cretan coast, you’re within easy reach of an array of sandy beaches and hidden coves, and only a short stroll from the village of Kokkino Chorio.  

Moonlight on Marble

Herb Garden

Situated on the shores of Souda Bay, with views over the White Mountains and the glistening sea, this gorgeous nineteenth-century stone villa has been lovingly restored by your hosts using traditional techniques. Formerly the home of the village winemaker, great care has been taken to preserve its character – even going as far as to repair the old wine press – while also bringing it into the twenty-first century.

In true Greek style, the interiors are painted bright white, with exposed wooden beams and tiled floors. However, the mid-century-inspired furniture and stunning light wood and marble kitchen bring a touch of contemporary class. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom and balcony, so that you can make the most of those views from the privacy of your room.

Step outside, and you'll find yourself in the heart of the traditional village of Xirosterni, surrounded by more beautiful stone houses. There's little in the way of tourist infrastructure here, so you can make the most of immersing yourself in local life. With that said, you're only a ten-minute drive from the charming waterfront tavernas, cafes and shops of Almyrida beach. 

Villa Plakiana

Outdoor Pool

Free Parking

From the private infinity pool to the open-plan living area, this villa puts its showstopping Aegean vistas front and centre. Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows flood each room with natural light and show off the scenery. Even the bedrooms have a glimpse of the blue horizon. Of course, the terrace is the best spot to take advantage of the views, with its array of lounge chairs perfect for sunbathing and a covered terrace ideal for sunset dinners. If you can tear yourself away, the nearest beach is just 700 metres away. You're also not far from Plaka and Almyrida – about a five-minute drive – while Chania makes a good option for a day trip.

Nymph & Sea

Pool / Snooker Table

EV Charger

Located in Almyrida, this villa is just 500 metres from a long stretch of sandy beach. Whilst the fishing village is quiet, its offers an array of cafes, shops and restaurants, all within walking distance. Featuring two private pools, one of which is designed especially for kids, you can rest assured that the little ones will always be kept entertained. The garden is particularly impressive thanks to a hot tub, lush lawn and Jacuzzi, but the inside of the home has its fair share of little luxuries, too. We love the basement here, where you’ll find a plush home cinema and a pool table. 

Sweet Sea

Just 800 metres from the Cretan coast, you couldn't ask for a more relaxing spot to call home. While we're big fans of the sophisticated design inside, there's no doubt that the outside space is the star. A bevvy of balconies, terraces, and a private infinity pool make the most of this home's spellbinding Aegean Sea views. Hiring a car is essential here, but you'll be well-placed to explore the island. Fancy a beach day? Head to the small but stunning Koutalas Beach, 3 kilometres away. Crave a bit of culture? Make the short drive to Chania and stroll along the Venetian Port, where restaurants, boutiques, and many historical monuments await.

Paradise on the Acropolis

Architecturally designed and boasting scenic views, this stylish villa is perfect for a group of six. It's spread across three levels, so space won't be an issue, though we reckon all your time will be spent in the outdoors. Sun-kissed terraces are perfect for alfresco dining and evening cocktails, while the swimming pool helps keep things cool during the height of summer. If you fancy eating out, the tavernas of Kera are less than a ten-minute drive away. Ready to hit the beach? Almyrida is a short drive away. Or, venture further afield to Chania's Old Town, forty minutes by car.

The Cretan Palm

Rooftop Terrace

Stair Gates

With views of the sea and the mountains, this villa has the best of both worlds. We love the rooftop garden with its Jacuzzi and magnificent vistas. You can relax on the pool's daybed as the kids play ping pong and jump on the trampoline. And when it's time for lunch, why not let your host arrange a private chef to cook some tasty food on the barbecue or wood stove? There's plenty to keep everyone occupied here for sure, but there's also so much to discover in the area. Situated in Xirosterni, a charming village with stone-built houses, you'll be a five-minute drive from the golden sands and crystal waters of Almyrida Beach. 

Coastal Vistas

Netflix

Amazon Prime

Bicycles

It doesn’t get much better than this. Picture wandering out with morning coffee, planning the day. A bike ride, a massage, a trip around Old Town Chania market for random collectables? Or – like five hours later, when you’ve torn yourself away from the pool, loungers and terrace hide-outs, maybe it’ll be time for a fresh sea-food alfresco meal. But leave the preparation bit to the chef. We love the indulgence of this home. Come evening, you may want to cosy up in the cinema room.

Guilty Secret

With stunning views over Almyrida beach and the mountain plateau, this Crete villa is perfectly appointed for gazing out to sea while taking time to slow right down and unwind. Sitting atop a hill, you'll have direct access down to the beach, with an endless stretch of water that can be seen from the balcony and poolside terrace. Sit down for a Greek lunch of stuffed vine leaves, olives, hummus and pita under the large veranda. 

Open the sliding doors for seamless modern living. We love how the living space is wonderfully bright and open, while the homey decor makes the bedrooms feel cosy and inviting. Rustle up your favourite dishes in the sleek island kitchen, as you look out across the turquoise horizon. The views are spectacular from just about every angle and beckon for sunset drinks later on. 

Spend sun-soaked days relaxing on the loungers and swimming in the pool, or get out and explore this historical area. Make your way down to Almyrida for excellent seafood restaurants and traditional Greek tavernas, right on your doorstep. Alternatively, visit the charming neighbouring villages, such as Gavalohori, and taste the local cuisine in a quiet, authentic setting, before returning home for a tipple of Riki on the terrace. 

Coastal Daydream

From this three-storey villa's top-floor terrace, you’ve got an expansive view of the bay of Souda in one direction and Crete’s ethereal White Mountains in the other. The best way to enjoy the panoramas? Soaking in the hot tub with a drink in hand, of course. At ground level, the largest of three terraces is home to a private pool and there are plenty of shaded places to dine and sunny spots to recline. Inside is sleek and modern, with an open kitchen and living room with a wood-burning stove. Location-wise, you’re on the coast, five minutes from the beach and 30 kilometres from buzzing Chania.

The Blue Deep

Settle into this coastal hillside villa, and revel in the long summer days from your perfect little terrace and private pool. Soak up the sunshine on one of the lounge chairs, before cooling off with a dip or a massage under the waterfall feature. After a refreshing swim, dry off for an alfresco lunch under the shade of the pergola – complete with a barbecue and a covered seating area, it's the ideal spot for lazy mezze platters or big Greek feasts come evening. 

With beautiful panoramas over Almyrida and its green terrain, we can think of no better place to end a lovely day than out on your private balcony with a glass of wine and a bowl of olives to tire you over. Whether you're looking for a Cretian romance or a small family break, the multi-level space promises an intimate stay without feeling on top of one another. 

While you could understandably spend all day outdoors, step inside your home to find a comfortable open-plan living area with modern furnishings and a sleek fireplace to keep things cosy on chillier nights. Through to the bedrooms, where you'll awaken to the beautiful sea and natural landscape views. Each having its own ensuite, there will be no need to queue for the shower, so you can get ready for a fun-filled day at the beach. 

Speaking of, take an eight-minute walk down to the shores of Almyrida Beach, boasting a range of popular seafront tavernas and laidback bars. The charming fishing village is also easily reachable from your villa on foot if you're looking to eat out in town. 

Phaedra's Hideaway

XBox

Nestled away in the Cretan countryside and overlooked by the island's famous White Mountains, this stone villa brings contemporary amenities and stylish design to a rustic spot on the map.

The villa itself looks fairly traditional from the outside, having been constructed from stone and wood. However, step behind the front door and you'll find modern living quarters dominated by natural light, rich wood finishes and sleek tiling. The double-height living room is particularly chic, but we're also especially fond of the Jacuzzi bathtub in one of the en-suites.

This being Crete, you'll most likely want to pass as much time outdoors as possible and there are plenty of ways to do just that here. The swimming pool in the middle of the grounds is sure to be a firm favourite on hot afternoons, while the surrounding loungers bring some resort-level relaxation. You can find some a few peaceful spots out in the garden, but none are as tranquil as the hammock hidden away underneath apricot trees.

Although the local village feels wonderfully isolated, there's a restaurant and shop only 400 metres away. Almyrida's sandy beach is only a 6km drive away when you're craving a dip in the sea, while the city of Chania is only 24km to the west as well.

When Life Gives You Apricots

Set on a beautiful hilltop with amazing Aegean views to the north and the majestic White Mountains to the south, this villa’s outlook is hard to beat. Beyond wrought-iron gates, you’ll find a pretty garden. Lounge by the glistening pool or cool off with the breeze on the balcony as you take in the inky blue sea vistas with a glass of wine. We think this tranquil, private spot is just sublime.

With floor-to-ceiling glass picture windows, the outside is brought in, and the light interiors are stylish and understated, giving an air of serenity. We love the main bedroom with its access to the terrace and seascape outlook.

Known for its beautifully painted Chapels of the Virgin Mary (dating to the 13th century) and the Karidi Monastery, the village of Vamos (2 kilometres away) has more than its fair share of attractions. Or head to the Venetian grandeur of Chania, 25 kilometres from this lovely home.

The Ravishing Big Blue

This luxurious villa offering knockout vistas of Souda Bay is a perfect family escape for those who value quality design and practicality. Outside, the lengthy swimming pool has a baby pool section for little ones to splash about safely, while a sunken sitting area is prime for evening drinks once the kids are tucked up in bed. Inside, each stylish bedroom offers direct access to the sun-kissed terraces or balconies outside, and there’s a fully equipped gym in the basement to keep on top of fitness. Location-wise, you’re just a five-minute drive from the pretty coastal village of Marathi, with two sandy bays and turquoise waters on either side of a small pier and traditional tavernas for an easy bite to eat.

Sometimes on holiday, you don’t want to have to plan or follow an itinerary – you just want to chill out and have everything you need to hand. This is the perfect place for that. This gorgeous villa in Crete has everything you could wish for, and some things you’ve probably not yet thought of. 

The villa is built from stone and decorated in a traditional style. Best of all, it’s in a huge plot of land with no neighbours – it’s an absolute haven of peace, quiet and relaxation. When you wake up in the morning your toughest decision will be which balcony to drink your coffee on, or possibly whether to sunbathe on a sun lounger or in a hammock. Will the children tire themselves out in the wheelchair-accessible heated pool, the playground, or playing football on the mini footy field? 

A lovely traditional stone kitchen makes cooking a breeze, but you might like to arrange for a private chef to cook for you anyway. Enjoy beautifully prepared Cretan dishes outside at the covered dining table – gluten-free meals can be provided on request. There’s also a fabulous barbecue area, so your chef could whip up a grilled feast while you and your guests sip cocktails on the terrace and admire the colourful sunsets. 

You have everything you need right at your fingertips here, but if you do fancy exploring Crete, you’re in a great location for it. Almyrida beach is just ten minutes away by car, while the attractive old town of Chania is thirty-seven minutes away. Meander along the winding streets with an ice cream, or find an alfresco table at a charming taverna by the port. When you return to the villa, settle into the Jacuzzi for a soak and see which constellations you can spot in the twinkling night sky. 


The Lotus Flower

Sit back, relax and drink in the magnificent views at this modern villa, situated just 800 metres from the Bay of Chania. Take your pick of spots to soak up in the sunshine – sunbathe on the lounge chairs with a cocktail, gather for alfresco dining underneath the pergola, or head up to the balcony to watch the sunset. You can even pull up a beanbag and unwind by the dazzling infinity pool before jumping into the crystal-clear waters for a refreshing dip.

While the scenery alone is worth staying for – picture the sparkling blue ocean, endless sky and rocky coastline perched on the horizon – the modern conveniences and sleek design are icing on the cake. Thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors, you'll always be able to feel the fresh sea breeze on your skin. Meanwhile, each stylish bedroom has an en-suite bathroom (complete with rainfall showers) and access to either the balcony or terrace – we think they're the perfect place to retreat to after a long afternoon exploring.

Speaking of exploring, if you can pull yourself away from this private paradise, you'll find plenty to discover nearby – from sleepy traditional villages to sandy beaches and hidden coves. Plaka's handful of tavernas and the family-friend Almyrida Beach are an eight-minute drive away – but if you don't mind a longer journey, Chania is forty minutes by car and well worth a day trip. 

Rippling Light

Mini Bar

Sauna

Buried in lush greenery with views of Almyrida Bay, this pink-painted pad ticks all of our boxes. We’ll begin with the outside space, where a shaded terrace with a dining set-up calls for moments spent all together, passing around dishes of Cretan cuisine and sharing bottles of traditional tsikoudia. Then there’s the glittering pool, the antidote to long, hot afternoons. Swim unhurried laps or just float about in the cool water. 

After a raucous game of table tennis, doze off in the hammock for a while before treating yourself to a long soak in the hot tub on the roof terrace. Better still, indulge in a serious pamper session in the private sauna. 

Inside, it’s understated and comfortable, with a touch of drama courtesy of the double-height ceilings and eye-catching artwork. Sumptuous beds guarantee a peaceful night’s sleep, while the on-site gym ensures invigorating mornings. 

If exploring is on the agenda, jump in the car to Koutalas beach to snorkel in the crystal clear shallows. For the divers among you, Elephant Cave is unmissable. And when the day draws to a close, head to Chania for some of the best seafood on the island.

Pink Sugar

Juicer

Relaxing breaks by the coast are a balm for the soul. This villa is the perfect setting for a holiday that’s all about spending quality time together and soaking up the sunshine in a lovely setting. 

The villa combines traditional architecture like wooden beams and arched doorways with modern amenities and comfort. Everything you need is right at your fingertips, so you can focus on unwinding. 

You might begin your day on the terrace, sipping coffee and drinking in the view of the sea and the mountains. There’s plenty of outside space, so you won’t feel crowded and you can easily find a spot in the shade for reading. When the weather is hot, the pool is oh-so-inviting, whether you’re a lap-swimmer or prefer to float on a lilo lazily. The garden is surrounded by high stone walls, making it a private little oasis. 

There are dining spaces in the courtyard – where there’s a built-in barbecue – and on the tiled terrace. Alfresco dinner, anyone? If you fancy eating out, you might meander one minute to one of the tavernas that line the main square in Plaka. 

Almirida beach is a thirteen-minute stroll from the villa, with clear blue sea to splash in. The convenient location is the cherry on top of this marvellous holiday home.
