Sand & Serenity

Holiday Rental Description

End every day with showstopping sunsets over the Aegean Sea at this oh-so-contemporary villa perched just one hundred metres from the sandy shores of Agios Pavlos on the south coast of Rethymno.

Designed with outdoor living in mind, this luxurious, adult-only retreat shows off its next-level sea vistas from all angles. Whether that's propped up on a sun lounger or day bed on the vast terraces with a good book. Gliding about that astonishing heated infinity pool. Or cooking up a Mediterranean feast from that impressive outdoor kitchen for alfresco dining beneath the stars.

Step inside, and this place keeps on giving. Every corner of the villa has been beautifully curated with cool, minimalist interiors uniting the space. Bleached woods and rustic elements bring layers of texture and style, while a swish walk-in shower and king-sized bed ramp up the opulence. And thanks to some state-of-the-art bioclimatic design wizardry, there's almost zero energy consumption – so you can rest easy here, folks.

With views this inspiring, and the beach just a pebble's throw away, you may have no desire to venture out. But if you fancy dipping your toes into the local culture, the nearby charming tavernas dishing up fresh-off-the-boat seafood and a glass of chilled retsina are a fine place to start.
