A beautiful coastal estate on the shores of Kissamos Bay, with direct beach access and 2 infinity pools

Youphoria Beachfront Estate is an expansive eight-bedroom property set on the edge of the Cretan Sea in the Chania region. It serves as a modern sanctuary for large families or groups, prioritising panoramic sea views and a private, unhindered connection to the water.

Set within landscaped gardens that flow seamlessly into the sand, the estate comprises two mirrored residences that can be used as one cohesive retreat. The architecture is a contemporary take on Mediterranean design, defined by its sleek stone walls, floor-to-ceiling glass, and a layout that emphasises the natural topography of the shoreline.

The exterior is designed for large-scale outdoor living, with two separate infinity pools. Wide stone terraces furnished with sun loungers surround the pool, providing ample space to soak up the sun. Multiple timber pergolas offer shaded hubs for al fresco dining and socialising, with an outdoor kitchen ready for entertaining. The grounds are planted with native olive trees and Mediterranean shrubbery, leading directly down to the quiet pebble-and-sand beach of Drapanias, which effectively serves as the estate’s front garden.

Inside, the residence embraces a bright, minimalist aesthetic with polished concrete floors, white walls, and warm timber accents. The decor is understated and high-quality, with a palette of sand, charcoal, and natural wood that reflects the coastal environment without distracting from the ever-present blue of the bay.

The main social areas are open-plan and voluminous, featuring comfortable lounge suites and dining areas that frame the ocean through wall-to-wall sliding glass doors. Two fully-equipped kitchens feature sleek cabinetry and island bars, complemented by a dedicated wine cellar for local tipples.

The eight bedrooms are designed as calm, airy retreats, most featuring king-size or double beds, with one twin room, and most offering direct access to private patios with garden or mountain views. Several rooms include en-suite bathrooms finished in smooth micro-cement with glass-enclosed showers, while others share well-appointed facilities. The lower-ground floor comprises three bedrooms, plus its own small kitchen, ensuring a degree of privacy for larger groups.

The flexible, expansive layout of Youphoria Beachfront Estate makes it a perfect destination for those seeking a modern, barefoot-luxury lifestyle on Crete’s beautiful coast.

About the area

Youphoria Beachfront Estate occupies a privileged waterfront position on the shores of Kissamos Bay, a region of Western Crete known for its dramatic landscapes and pristine waters. The estate provides immediate access to Drapanias Beach, while the nearby town of Kissamos offers an authentic taste of local life with its traditional tavernas and small harbour. The villa is just a short drive from some of the island’s most famous natural landmarks, including the turquoise lagoons of Balos and the pink sands of Elafonisi.

The vibrant city of Chania, with its iconic Venetian harbour and labyrinthine old town, is within easy reach for afternoon excursions or evening dining. Further afield, guests can explore the rugged Samaria Gorge or the ancient archaeological sites that dot the regional landscape.

This strategic location offers the perfect balance between the peaceful seclusion of a beachfront estate and the sophisticated cultural offerings of one of Greece’s most beautiful coastal cities.
