Vista Elounda

Full Description

The villa features six beautifully appointed bedrooms within the main house, complemented by two independently accessed guest rooms, offering both privacy and flexibility for larger groups. Sunlight pours into the expansive open-plan living and dining area on the ground floor, where high ceilings, sophisticated interiors, and panoramic sea views create a warm yet refined atmosphere. Guests can relax on plush sofas beside the fireplace, enjoy evenings around the bar area, gather around the dining table seating up to 16 guests, or unwind in the dedicated study space. Large French doors open seamlessly onto shaded lounge terraces and the spectacular pool area beyond.

The fully equipped kitchen is thoughtfully designed for effortless entertaining, with direct access to the outdoor terraces and dining spaces. On the lower ground floor, guests will discover an impressive wellness and entertainment area complete with gym equipment including a stepper, cycling machine, weights machine, boxing bag, yoga mats, and exercise balls, alongside table tennis and foosball facilities. A laundry room is also conveniently located on this level.

Outside, Vista Elounda embraces the beauty of alfresco living. Three separate outdoor dining areas invite guests to dine beneath the Mediterranean sky – one beside the infinity pool, another overlooking the sea and town, and a third beside the fully equipped open-air kitchen and BBQ area. Each space comfortably seats 16 guests, while one dining area can accommodate up to 30 guests for memorable gatherings and celebrations.

The villa’s outdoor lounge spaces are equally inviting, with oversized cushions and beanbags positioned beside the infinity-edge pool, creating the perfect setting for sunset cocktails or relaxed afternoons in the sun. Stone-paved pathways wind gracefully through the landscaped gardens, carefully designed to respect the natural surroundings while connecting guests to the estate’s walking paths and secluded corners. Charming garden pavilions and broad bedroom terraces with built-in seating provide endless opportunities to soak in the magical views across the sea and surrounding landscape.

Perfect for multi-generational stays and family holidays, Vista Elounda also features a thoughtfully designed hidden private playground nestled discreetly between Vista Elounda and Elounda Bay, created in response to the many family groups who stay at the estate, this dedicated space allows children to play freely and safely without needing to leave the property. Surrounded by natural vegetation and terrain, the playground remains almost completely hidden from the villas themselves – close enough for convenient access via scenic footpaths, yet secluded enough that children at play cannot be heard from the residences. Less than a five-minute walk from either villa, it offers the ideal balance for families who wish to make full use of it, while remaining virtually invisible to guests seeking complete peace and privacy.

Vista Elounda has a new collection of brand-new private sports and wellness facilities. Set within the estate’s private hillside setting 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 lies a professional multi-use court adaptable for tennis, pickleball, volleyball, and half-court basketball, complemented by a dedicated sports equipment storage area and an elegant 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, 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.

These exciting additions perfectly complement the estate’s existing amenities, including table tennis, gym facilities in both villas, yoga and wellness sessions available upon request, and the secluded private playground – creating an exceptional environment where activity, relaxation, luxury, and wellbeing coexist seamlessly throughout the year.

This villa is featured in Wedding villa Greece collection: 11 of the most romantic villas in the Greek Islands, making it the perfect setting for an unforgettable wedding escape.
