Sleek, sculptural, and steps from the sea, Sea Princessa Villa is a striking modern retreat on the sun-kissed shores of Chania. This architectural gem sits right on the beach, framed by a lush Mediterranean garden and tall palms that sway gently in the breeze. Every inch of the villa is designed to blur the lines between indoor and outdoor living, glass doors slide away to reveal the private terrace, swimming pool, and panoramic views of the Cretan coastline.

Inside, the villa stretches across generous open spaces with clean lines, soft neutrals, and polished finishes. The five serene bedrooms are arranged across two floors, with a mix of king, queen, and twin configurations ideal for families or groups. The living space opens to a dining area and a sleek, fully equipped kitchen, while subtle design details, textured woods, pendant lights, and glass balustrades, elevate the aesthetic.

Spend the day lazing by the year-round pool, enjoy a barbecue on the shaded patio, or wander just a minute to reach the sandy shore of Iguana Beach. From morning coffee under the pergola to evening strolls at sunset, Sea Princessa Villa offers a soothing rhythm by the sea.

• While the villa is beachfront, the outdoor areas are not entirely fenced off from the neighbouring properties.
• The design is modern and pared-back, which may not suit guests seeking a more traditional Cretan style.
