Villa Elounda Megali has an excellent location; set in gentle hillside amongst mature gardens and olive trees, it offers guests peace and tranquillity. Despite the feeling of serenity, the ever-popular town of Elounda is just a short car journey away and boasts a range of fantastic amenities, including restaurants, shops and bars. A little further along the coastline is Agios Nikolaos; this buzzing resort offers a wider selection of amenities as well as fabulous nightlife.

The contemporary villa has been beautifully and thoughtfully designed and combines luxury interiors and furnishings with earthy tones and natural materials, creating a high-end yet comfortable finish. Villa Elounda Megali can accommodate up to sixteen guests across eight spacious bedrooms. On the ground floor is the main open-plan living accommodation, comprising living and dining areas, the high ceilings and French doors let in natural light, creating a huge sense of space. There is a fully-equipped kitchen which has all the necessary modern amenities. Also, on this level is one of the double bedrooms, with separate external access and an en-suite bathroom as well as direct access to the terrace.

Upstairs, on the first floor, are a further two double bedrooms, both boasting en-suite bathrooms with private terraces from which the sea views can be enjoyed. Going back downstairs, on the lower ground floor are three more double or twin bedrooms again, both boasting en-suite bathrooms. There is also a further double bedroom with en-suite bathroom and patio doors leading to the terrace area. A handy gym is also on this floor and boasts a stepper, bike and weights machine as well as a table tennis, perfect fun for all ages!

Outside, the private pool is the perfect spot from which to soak up the serene surroundings and impressive panoramic views. For those wishing to indulge in some al fresco dining while in sunny Crete, there are helpful dining facilities. In between Villa Elounda Megali and its sister villa, Villa Elounda, are pathways leading through the untouched vegetation. There are numerous rest areas and hammocks, perfect tranquil spaces to relax under the shade if the olive trees while enjoying a good book.

By early spring 2026,  guests will discover within the grounds a private, multi-purpose court that seamlessly transforms from tennis to pickleball, volleyball, or even half-court basketball, all set upon a state-of-the-art, four-layer cushioned surface engineered for both comfort and performance. It’s essentially four private courts in one, reserved just for you.

What Oliver loves...

  • Immerse yourself in local history and take a boat trip to Spinalonga, the inspiration for Victoria Hislop’s novel “The Island”
  • The archaeological site of Knossos Palace, supposedly one of the oldest villages in Europe, it makes a fantastic day out and is just a car journey away, it really is a must-visit but prepare for crowds as it can get very busy in the Summer months!
  • The terrace area complete with dining facilities is perfect for al fresco dining or just for a sundowner at the end of a long day of sightseeing!
  • For larger groups can be booked with the neighbouring Villa Elounda. For such bookings a 5% discount may be applied.

What you should know

  • Those travelling with very young children should ensure they are not left to explore gardens and pathways alone
  • While the villa is in a great location, a car will be needed in order to reach local amenities and fully explore the area
  • The neighbouring villa is 180m away and both villas enjoy total privacy
