Now that's what we call a view. Perched high above Loutraki beach, this sprawling villa gazes out over the azure waters of Souda Bay – though calling it a villa feels like an understatement. It's closer to a private resort, with two infinity pools, a full spa, tennis court, cinema with an outdoor screen, a bowling alley, and even a helipad. Every bedroom opens onto a terrace or balcony, while the top-floor suite comes with its own sauna. Best of all, a dedicated concierge is on hand to arrange everything from sunset sails to yoga on the lawn to a starlit Greek feast prepared by a private chef.
