A luxurious family-friendly villa with 3 pools, a private spa, a tennis court, and a bowling alley for all-ages fun

Villa Only View is a sprawling six-bedroom residence situated on a prominent hillside overlooking the Akrotiri peninsula in northwest Crete. Set within extensive grounds that combine native rock formations with lush greenery, the estate serves as an all-encompassing family destination. It prioritises a diverse range of recreational facilities, offering an environment where high-end wellness spaces and multiple sports amenities lie in total seclusion from the surrounding coastal landscape.

The villa’s exterior is a vast playground with highlights including an impressive 175-square-metre infinity pool, a separate heated lap pool, and a bubbling Jacuzzi. Both pools are framed by tiered stone terraces and green lawns, providing various platforms for sunbathing on loungers and relaxing under umbrellas. One terrace also features an outdoor kitchen and dining area, complete with barbecue.

The rest of the grounds are exceptionally well-equipped, featuring a tennis court, a children’s playground, and an outdoor cinema screen entertaining for all ages.

Architecturally, the villa is a sophisticated example of modern luxury, defined by sharp lines, extensive glass facades, and a multi-level layout that follows the natural slope of the land. The interior is a study in modern elegance, with a palette of cool greys, charcoal, and white marble.

The ground floor is the social heart of the home. It features a generous living room opening directly onto the pool terrace. An open-plan kitchen is complemented by a professional staff kitchen, creating the perfect set-up for large-scale entertaining.

The villa’s lower level is dedicated to entertainment and wellness, housing a private spa with an indoor pool, sauna, and hammam. This floor also contains a unique private bowling alley, a cinema room, and a games room equipped with a pool table and gaming console.

The bedrooms are distributed across three levels, with a focus on privacy and sea views. The first floor is dedicated to the master suite, which features a private balcony and a bathroom with a specialised sauna-setting shower. Two further bedrooms are located on the ground floor, each with direct terrace or patio access, and one with an outdoor shower. The lower-ground floor houses three additional suites, including a pair of interconnecting rooms ideal for families, all of which open onto a shared terrace overlooking the mountains.

The sophisticated layout and modern amenities ensure that Villa Only View functions as a comprehensive private retreat, catering to all ages and interests within one coastal estate.

About the area

Villa Only View occupies a commanding position in the Akrotiri region of Chania, a peninsula known for its rugged coastline and some of Crete’s most protected beaches. The estate is a short walk from the turquoise waters of Loutraki Beach and nearby Marathi, both famous for their calm conditions and traditional waterfront tavernas. This location offers a peaceful rural atmosphere while remaining remarkably well-connected to the island’s primary transport links.

The historic city of Chania, with its iconic Venetian harbour and vibrant covered market, is within a short drive, providing a wealth of cultural and culinary exploration. Nearby, guests can visit the ancient monasteries of Agia Triada and Gouverneto, which are surrounded by the peninsula’s famous olive groves and vineyards.

Further afield, the dramatic white-sand beaches of the west coast are accessible for day trips. This strategic location balances the quietude of a private hillside retreat with proximity to the most celebrated sights of Western Crete.
