Hidden in the secluded Meakis Beach on the south coast of Crete lies this stunning villa. Consisting of two main blocks and an extra guestroom by the sea, everyone will have their own space here. Go for a dip in the calm waters of the infinity pool and dry off on the sun loungers under the hot sun. Spy stunning sea views from almost every room, whether you're tucking into a meal prepared by a private chef or throwing a barbecue with the two outdoor grills. Admire the vast sea views while enjoying an alfresco meal or one of the books from the indoor library. Keep up with your workout routine with the provided exercise equipment, or enjoy an in-home hair treatment or massage from a private specialist and achieve the height of luxury. You'll be just a stone's throw away from a secluded beach where sea turtles lay their eggs – in August, watch the baby turtles make their way to the sea while the sand lilies on the dunes blossom. While swathed in peace and quiet, you'll be close to the charming village of Arvi. With countless historical and cultural sites and a laidback environment, it's the perfect place if you're looking to try some great cuisine, visit gorgeous natural scenery or try something a little more adventurous like caving or diving. At night, the secluded location means you'll be able to relax out on the terrace with the blanket of stars above you in the warm night air.
