Beach House Hideawayin Crete, Greece

Tucked into the sand dunes of one of Crete’s most untouched coastal landscapes, this beachfront, earth-sheltered villa blends seamlessly with its natural surroundings. Just steps from the crystal-clear waters of the Libyan Sea, it offers uninterrupted views across the horizon.

Ideal for large groups or families who want to stay together without needing to drive to the beach, the villa provides a truly self-contained coastal experience. With a spacious, well-equipped kitchen perfect for hiring a private chef, a shaded beach pergola, and multiple outdoor seating and dining areas, everything needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay is right on-site.

A winding road leads through an old olive grove from the estate’s entrance, passing a traditional Cretan cookery and a chapel dedicated to Saint Demitrios. As you reach the edge of the hill, take in sweeping views of the sandy shore and vibrant reef below—a hidden stretch of coastline waiting to be discovered.

This villa showcases a refined balance of luxurious simplicity and natural materials, with stone and wood throughout creating a warm, understated atmosphere. By night, the lack of artificial light reveals an extraordinary view of the stars.

All nine bedrooms offer sea views, with six providing direct access to the beach. The sound of the sea fills each space, enhancing the immersive coastal setting.

All interiors are furnished with natural elements and a color palette that harmonizes with the environment, offering a consistent sense of calm and elegance throughout.

The estate includes a variety of outdoor spaces suitable for both large gatherings and private relaxation. The main pergola features two dining tables and a built-in sofa with panoramic sea views beside the infinity pool. Another pergola near the pool includes a barbecue kitchen and dining area, with a built-in sofa positioned at a scenic lookout point.

Adjacent to the chapel, the traditional cookery is equipped with a Cretan oven and an Antikristiera—a fire pit used to prepare the ancient Cretan lamb dish Antikristo. Guests can enjoy an authentic Cretan cooking experience in the pergola overlooking the sea, hosted by the villa team.
