Overlooking Almyros Beach in eastern Crete, this villa is all about luxe details. Two heated pools, a private gym, manicured grounds and direct beach access are just some of the delights in store. The space is made up of two separate villas – each with its own living area and kitchen – making it perfect for multigenerational families or groups looking for a bit more privacy. Inside, the decor is coastal boho chic, with a freestanding en-suite tub and balcony access from the bedrooms among the many features that caught our eye. And a carefree stay wouldn’t be complete without daily breakfast served straight to your villa and daily housekeeping too. With your host also able to organise a plethora of extras (for a fee) – including chauffeurs, personal shoppers and in-villa dining – you’ll find yourself leaning into the holiday lifestyle in no time.
