Staying at this impressive villa is memorable for all the right reasons. A sea view is top of the list for a Cretan stay – and this home provides multiple spots of panoramic viewing so that you can enjoy the Aegean vistas from every vantage point.

Inside, you’ll feel how much detail has gone into the design. Luxury touches are everywhere – ambient lighting fixtures, stone floors and natural, minimalist furniture pieces. Wake up in your plush bed, sip your morning coffee and watch the waves roll out through your floor-to-ceiling glass doors. The light-filled interior is completely modern in style – it’s the ideal spot for shaded quality time. We love the elegant dining area for leisurely breakfasts, whilst the large sofa is the perfect spot to take a siesta when you want a repose from the midday sun.

Luxury carries through to the outside here – with warm natural stone terraces and soft daybeds to lounge on, absorb the island sun and get into your new summer read. Play a few games of tennis on the shared courts, then tuck into a fresh Grecian lunch at the outdoor dining table.

If you’re feeling like an evening out, head into the historic city of Chania, just a short drive away. You’ll find buzzy bars, sea-grazing restaurants and a 14th-century Venetian harbour here.
