CHECK AVAILABILITYABOUT THE VILLA
A Private Luxury Estate with Sea Views, Spa Facilities & Space for 20
If you're looking for a villa that offers much more than beautiful views and a swimming pool, Villa Spinalonga is worth a closer look.
Located in Plaka, near Elounda in eastern Crete, this impressive 750 sqm property combines generous living spaces, extensive wellness facilities, and panoramic views towards the historic island of Spinalonga. Just 50 metres from the nearest beach, it's an excellent option for large families or groups of friends looking for a luxurious stay with plenty to enjoy without leaving the property.
With 10 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, the villa accommodates up to 20 guests across three floors, making it particularly well suited to multi-generational holidays, group celebrations, or a special gathering of friends.
A Spacious Villa Designed for Larger Groups
Villa Spinalonga has been designed to give guests room to come together while still enjoying their own privacy.
The interiors combine contemporary comfort with an eco-chic aesthetic, with generous living areas, multiple kitchens, dining spaces, and an elevator connecting the three floors.
The main living area opens onto the outdoor spaces, while an additional living room upstairs offers another place to relax. There's also a dedicated office and a home cinema for evenings when everyone wants to stay in.
With ten double bedrooms, the property offers plenty of flexibility for a large group travelling together.
Your Own Private Wellness Retreat
One of the most distinctive features of Villa Spinalonga is its extensive wellness and entertainment facilities.
The lower ground floor includes a hammam, an infrared sauna, two jacuzzi facilities, and a dedicated massage treatment room. There's also a private gym for guests who want to maintain their fitness routine while away.
For entertainment, the villa has a home cinema, a ping-pong table, and a foosball table. These extras make it especially appealing for groups with different interests and for families travelling with children.
Outdoor Living | Infinity Pool and Views of Spinalonga
Outside, the private infinity pool creates a beautiful focal point, with views across the surrounding landscape and towards the sea.
The landscaped garden offers a peaceful setting, while the outdoor dining area and kitchen make it easy to organise relaxed lunches, barbecues, and long dinners together.
Children have an outdoor play area, and adults can enjoy the poolside spaces or simply take in the views from the balconies.
The villa also offers private parking and a range of practical amenities, including Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and a portable gas barbecue.
Location | Discovering Elounda and Plaka
The location is one of Villa Spinalonga's strongest advantages. Plaka is a charming coastal village known for its traditional tavernas, relaxed atmosphere, and views across the water to Spinalonga.
Nearest beach: approximately 50 metres
Nearest grocery shop: approximately 500 metres
Nearest restaurant: approximately 500 metres
Elounda: approximately 5 km
Heraklion International Airport: approximately 70 km, around one hour by car
A boat trip to Spinalonga is a wonderful way to explore the area's history, while Elounda offers additional restaurants, shops, and beaches.
Services and Important Details
The rental includes daily housekeeping except on Sundays, final cleaning, a welcome pack, linen and towels, and a complimentary baby cot and high chair upon request.
Additional charges may apply for pool heating, pool fencing, and the environmental fee. A refundable damage deposit of €2,000 is also specified in the booking terms.
The property welcomes children and infants, and pets may be permitted on request. Parties and events are not allowed under the stated house rules.
Please note: Check-in and check-out are on Saturdays only. Check-in is after 3 pm, and check-out is by 10 am.
Why I Would Consider Villa Spinalonga
For me, the real attraction of this villa is the combination of size, location, and facilities. It's not simply a large house for a big group; it offers a private spa, a cinema, a gym, an infinity pool, and plenty of space for everyone to enjoy the holiday in their own way.
Its proximity to the beach and the village of Plaka is another major advantage, especially for guests who want to combine days at the villa with exploring the coast and visiting Spinalonga.
Best suited for: Large families, multi-generational groups, and groups of friends of up to 20 guests seeking a luxury villa near Elounda with extensive wellness facilities, a private infinity pool, and beautiful sea views.
