OPHELIA VILLA, ELOUNDA

The magnificent villa Ophelia is one of three gorgeous villas that comprise a newly constructed seaside complex in Plaka village in Elounda.

Villa Ophelia makes the most of its exceptional location, with views over the Elounda Gulf to the island of Spinalonga. Its stone façade contrasts well with the steep background. Three levels are gradually incorporated into the slope, absorbing the panoramic vistas along the way.

The private infinity pool is located on the ground floor, tucked amid a spacious, silvery stone terrace. The architectural design creates a sense of idyllic seclusion, with vistas from every aspect. On one side, an outdoor barbeque area awaits your arrival; on the other, a covered dining space provides welcome shade while maintaining an unobstructed view of the coastline. Take a snooze in the afternoon on the luxurious loungers or elegant day bed, then awake refreshed and ready to make the most of the long evenings and warm, starry nights.

As you step inside, you’ll be surprised of how well-designed the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space is. Stylish and contemporary art gives an elegant setting for an evening gathering. The high-spec kitchen makes whipping up a meze feast a delight, and the wine refrigerator guarantees that those glasses never run out of wine. Open the patio doors to take in the breathtaking vista.

Five exquisite bedrooms guarantee that ten guests may experience an unmatched luxury vacation in the lap of luxury.  The elegant and stylish décor soothes the soul, while the marble ensuite with Jacuzzi bath rejuvenates. Put on a robe and slippers, take a bottle of wine, and make yourself at ease. The three lower ground-floor rooms, two of which are master bedrooms, open into an interior garden with views of the sea beyond, while the two first-floor rooms each have their own sea-facing balcony, ensuring that you’ll discover your own personal haven.

Only a short walk away, the charming fishing village of Plaka retains its true Greek traditional charm and is home to an array of tavernas and markets while it provides access to the island of Spinalonga.

The unique blend of stunning views, Cretan charm, contemporary conveniences, complete privacy and luxury makes this villa an exclusive holiday resort for even the most discerning traveler.
