CHECK AVAILABILITYABOUT THE VILLA
Villa Ouranos | Heraklion, Crete
A Contemporary Hillside Retreat with Panoramic Sea Views
Villa Ouranos is a beautiful, newly built villa set on a hillside overlooking the northern coast of Crete, near Heraklion. With sweeping views across the bays of Agia Pelagia, Ligaria, and Made, the villa offers a peaceful setting where contemporary design, privacy, and relaxation come together.
What makes this property particularly special is the way the sea views accompany you throughout the villa. Whether you are relaxing in the living room, waking up in the master bedroom, enjoying the jacuzzi, or swimming in the infinity pool, the coastline is always part of the experience.
Spanning 180 sqm across three levels, Villa Ouranos accommodates up to five guests and is an excellent choice for couples, a small family, or friends looking for a private escape with beautiful views and wellness facilities.
The Living Spaces
The main living area is located on the ground floor, together with the master bedroom and an en suite bathroom.
The open plan living room and fully equipped kitchen create a comfortable, inviting space for spending time together. Large openings bring in natural light and make the most of the spectacular views across the sea and coastline.
The villa has been designed with comfort in mind, with carefully selected furnishings, individually controlled air conditioning, satellite television, a music system, and complimentary WiFi throughout.
The Bedrooms
Villa Ouranos offers two bedrooms, each designed to provide comfort and privacy.
The master bedroom is located on the ground floor and features an en suite bathroom. Natural latex anatomical mattresses and carefully selected bedding help create a restful sleeping environment.
The second bedroom is situated on the lower level and has its own private bathroom. Its more secluded position and views towards the coastline make it a lovely retreat for guests who appreciate a little extra privacy.
The Jacuzzi and Sauna
One of the most appealing features of Villa Ouranos is its focus on relaxation.
On the upper level, a spacious jacuzzi bathtub with air massage allows you to unwind while enjoying the panoramic views of the coast. It is an especially lovely spot to relax at the end of the day, as the light changes over the sea.
The lower level also features a private sauna, adding another layer of comfort and making the villa particularly attractive for guests who enjoy wellness facilities during their holiday.
Outdoor Living
The outdoor terrace is designed to make the most of the villa's elevated position.
Stone walls create a distinctive Mediterranean character, while the outdoor dining area provides a lovely setting for meals overlooking the sea. An outdoor shower adds convenience after a swim or time spent in the sun.
The highlight is the heated private infinity pool, which appears to merge with the horizon and offers uninterrupted views across the northern Cretan coastline.
Whether you prefer a refreshing morning swim, a leisurely afternoon by the pool, or a quiet evening on the terrace, the outdoor spaces invite you to slow down and enjoy the surroundings.
Location
Villa Ouranos is situated near Heraklion, making it possible to combine a peaceful hillside stay with visits to the island's capital, local villages, beaches, and restaurants.
The nearby coastal areas of Agia Pelagia, Ligaria, and Made offer beautiful scenery and opportunities to explore the northern coast of Crete.
The villa's location is particularly appealing for guests who want privacy and panoramic views without being completely removed from the island's amenities.
Why I Love Villa Ouranos
For me, Villa Ouranos is a lovely choice for anyone looking for a contemporary villa with a strong sense of privacy and a beautiful connection to the sea.
The heated infinity pool is undoubtedly one of its main highlights, while the jacuzzi and sauna make it feel more like a private wellness retreat. I also like the way the three levels create distinct spaces for relaxing, sleeping, and enjoying the views.
It is an ideal setting for a couple seeking a romantic escape, or for a small group looking for a peaceful and comfortable base from which to discover Crete.
