You’ll be blown away by the simply breathtaking beauty of Villa Minoan, when you vacation in this luxurious resort, perfectly positioned on the seafront of the north coast of the Greek island of Crete. Villa Minoan has two exquisitely appointed double bedrooms, and can comfortably accommodate up to four adults and two children on one floor, ideal for a family holiday, or a group of friends travelling together. It also enjoys its own gated pool area.

The resort has two shared pools with sun loungers and waiter service, six superb restaurants, a concierge team that can arrange anything from yacht charters to helicopter transfers, a gym, sauna, and spa, tennis and squash courts, mini golf and table tennis, a Kid’s Club and children’s amenities, souvenir shops and stores, a team of butlers and private chefs to exceed your expectations, and best of all, its own private beach with sun loungers, personal service, and watersports.

This single floored property is set in its own extensive grounds and expertly manicured Mediterranean gardens, with a show-stopping private swimming pool. The interiors are impressively elegant, furnished with classic contemporary pieces, and tastefully decorated in a calm and gentle colour palette of soft creams and cool blues.

Enter the villa at ground floor level, where there is a light and bright open plan living space, with floor-to-ceiling sliding doors that give access to the sea view pool terrace. The seating area has an inviting comfy baby blue and cream sofa with a matching armchair, handy coffee and side tables, a cabinet which is home to a flat-screen television, with decorative fireplace. The adjacent dining set is perfect for some formal entertaining. There is a study area with a desk and chair. The master bedroom has a large double bed, a smart TV, a stylish walk-in wardrobe, and an ensuite bathroom with a huge bathtub, vanity unit, and WC. A Fitness Room with state of the art gym equipment, and a Finnish style sauna complete the accommodation.

Step onto the sweeping sea view tiled terrace, where a centrepiece swimming pool takes pride of place. Relax on the surrounding sun loungers, and snooze the afternoon away under the shady pergola, dressed with billowing white curtains. Take a walk down to the beach via your own private path, and have a swim in the crystal clear waters of the Aegean Sea. As dusk falls dine alfresco with a feast prepared by your own private chef, and raise a toast to the most magical of holidays.

The simply stunning Villa Minoan can be found at the water’s edge of an ultra-luxury resort complex overlooking the north coast of the Greek island of Crete, set in the Aegean Sea. The villa is a scenic twenty-five minute drive through the Cretan countryside from the port and International Nikos Kazantzakis Airport near Heraklion.

Villa Minoan is set in an exclusive resort which comes with two shared swimming pools with sun loungers and shady brollies, tennis and squash courts, table tennis, and a mini golf course, as well as a fully equipped gym, with spa, sauna, and beauty facilities. The resort boasts six restaurants catering for every taste from fine dining to cocktail bars. There is an on-site concierge team who can arrange almost anything for you, from private yacht and helicopter charters to private chefs and personal trainers. Best of all your villa has its own path down to the sandy and pebble shores of the Aegean Sea, and by request, you can sunbathe on your own private patch of beach, and indulge in exceptional waiter service.

If you can bear to leave the grounds, there are mountains to hike, vineyards to sample this year’s vintage, beautiful beaches with exhilarating watersports, horse riding over sand dunes, sailing around the coast on a yacht or caique, shopping for souvenirs, sipping cocktails in sea front bars, dining in local tavernas, and dancing until dawn at happening clubs.

Discover the history and culture of the island in the nearby ancient city of Heraklion, the Palace of Knossos, the unique town of Agios Nikolaos, and the enigmatic Spinalonga island.
