Elounda Bay

Full Description

The villa features five elegant bedrooms within the main house, an independently accessed guest room for added privacy, and a separate Garden Suite housing two additional bedrooms – creating a flexible layout ideal for multi-generational stays or groups of friends travelling together.

On the ground floor, expansive open-plan living areas create a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living. Comfortable lounge spaces with a fireplace and study area lead into a fully equipped contemporary kitchen and dining area, all opening through French doors onto the outdoor dining terrace beside the pool. A stylish kitchen bar with stools overlooks the sparkling pool and sweeping sea views, creating the perfect setting for relaxed breakfasts, sunset cocktails, or entertaining guests. A guest W.C. is also located on this level, while the lower ground floor includes a dedicated laundry room for convenience during extended stays.

Surrounded by ancient olive trees and native Cretan vegetation, the estate has been carefully designed to embrace the natural landscape. Winding pathways lead through untouched areas between the two villas, inviting guests to explore peaceful shaded corners, hammocks, and secluded resting spots where one can unwind with a book or simply enjoy the tranquil surroundings.

Elounda Bay has a new collection of private sports and wellness facilities designed to elevate the guest experience even further. Set within the private hillside estate and thoughtfully designed to blend seamlessly with the natural landscape, these facilities create a unique recreational destination where guests can play, relax, and create lasting memories together.

At its heart is a professional multi-use court adaptable for tennis, pickleball, volleyball, and half-court basketball, complemented by a dedicated sports equipment storage area and a beautifully designed courtside pavilion offering shaded seating, refreshments, and a welcoming social atmosphere throughout the day.

More than simply a sporting facility, this new addition has been conceived as a destination within the destination – a place where families, groups of friends, and multi-generational travellers can connect, play, unwind, and share experiences throughout their stay. Whether enjoying a morning tennis session, an afternoon pickleball match, children playing basketball, or simply relaxing in the pavilion overlooking the court, the facilities have been thoughtfully designed to be enjoyed by guests of all ages.

Hidden discreetly within the grounds lies the estate’s private playground – a unique feature thoughtfully created for families travelling with children. Positioned between Elounda Bay and Vista Elounda, yet naturally concealed by the landscape, the playground offers children the freedom to play safely while remaining close enough for easy access along the estate’s scenic footpaths.
