Sit back, relax and drink in the magnificent views at this modern villa, situated just 800 metres from the Bay of Chania. Take your pick of spots to soak up in the sunshine – sunbathe on the lounge chairs with a cocktail, gather for alfresco dining underneath the pergola, or head up to the balcony to watch the sunset. You can even pull up a beanbag and unwind by the dazzling infinity pool before jumping into the crystal-clear waters for a refreshing dip. While the scenery alone is worth staying for – picture the sparkling blue ocean, endless sky and rocky coastline perched on the horizon – the modern conveniences and sleek design are icing on the cake. Thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors, you'll always be able to feel the fresh sea breeze on your skin. Meanwhile, each stylish bedroom has an en-suite bathroom (complete with rainfall showers) and access to either the balcony or terrace – we think they're the perfect place to retreat to after a long afternoon exploring. Speaking of exploring, if you can pull yourself away from this private paradise, you'll find plenty to discover nearby – from sleepy traditional villages to sandy beaches and hidden coves. Plaka's handful of tavernas and the family-friend Almyrida Beach are an eight-minute drive away – but if you don't mind a longer journey, Chania is forty minutes by car and well worth a day trip.
