Palace
The Concept: Summer Kingdom
Ever wondered what the sound of silence felt like? Just a 10-minute drive from Elounda, within the tranquility of a lush Mediterranean garden and set right over the sea, Villa Palace is a luxury Crete villa ready to open its doors and welcome you to its kingdom. A refined eight-bedroom retreat for up to 16 guests, Palace will inspire you to remove your shoes and let all the stress go while you bask in the calm, soul-soothing energy of Greece. Gather your group and settle into uninterrupted blue horizons and the soft soundtrack of nature.
Outdoors
A vast hillside of indigenous flora is yours to explore, and nothing stands between you and the Aegean Sea. Unplug and reconnect over the amazing views of endless blue touching the horizon. If you can ever get enough of that view, mix friendly competition at the Davis-Cup-sized tennis court or the boules court. For a cool break during the hot day, slip into the pool or walk to your private wooden platform right by the sea. There, you’ll find sun loungers, a fridge for your drinks, and a ladder for diving into the crystal-clear sea. Return to the shaded terrace for an alfresco BBQ; with Crete’s top-quality produce, making simple flavors shine.
Indoors
Divided into the main property and a separate cottage, this seafront villa in Crete offers an array of socializing areas for your entire group alongside many private spots ideal for a quiet retreat. Curated artwork, collected objects, and classic furnishings create a subtle Italian-palazzo ambience, while abundant sunlight floods the interiors, enhancing the sense of peace you’ll experience here. A fully equipped kitchen opens to a terrace for easy indoor–outdoor flow, and all 8 bedrooms are elegantly decorated, each with a different style, equipped with plush linens to swathe you at bedtime, setting you up for unbroken sleep.
Good to know
This luxury villa in Crete is only a 10-minute drive from Elounda. Here you’ll find shops, bars, and restaurants wrapped around the harbor, while beautiful beaches are within a short distance. Private sea access is available via a wooden platform—though the shoreline is steep, so it’s best for confident swimmers on calm days. The on-site stone chapel and panoramic backdrop make the villa ideal for wedding ceremonies, while the layout and privacy also suit creative productions and wellness or corporate retreats. For guests who want dining fully taken care of, there is a booking option including full chef services with a Relais & Châteaux chef and wait staff for three meals a day.
