Elounda seaside Villa Regal

Few properties rival this Elounda seaside villa for sheer scale of privacy. It is set on a private hillside estate above the shimmering waters of Mirabello Bay. This extraordinary eight-bedroom property commands some of the most breathtaking sea views in Crete. Sculpted grounds unfold across olive groves, antique artworks and a protected Roman tank, while the facilities rival a private resort — infinity pool, Davis Cup tennis court, sea platform, boules court, chapel and a Relais et Châteaux chef on request. Generous enough for two families, intimate enough to feel like home, this is Elounda at its most exceptional.

Interior

The main house spans three floors, each with its own distinct character. On the ground floor, a grand sitting room with a 600-year-old fireplace and soaring ceilings opens onto sea-view terraces. Whhile an adjoining library houses a Steinway grand piano and a vast collection of books. The dining room seats twelve and flows seamlessly outdoors. The fully equipped kitchen enjoys sea and mountain views on three sides. The lower ground floor opens directly to the pool, with a generous games room featuring an antique billiards table and satellite TV. Throughout, original artworks line the walls and antique furnishings anchor every room.

A separate cottage, tucked discreetly beneath the tennis court, offers its own open-plan living, dining and kitchen space — a self-contained haven for a small family or accompanying guests.

Bedrooms

The main house offers six bedrooms across three floors, each with its own en-suite bathroom and private balcony or terrace. The master bedroom on the top floor is a room of real distinction. It features a king-size bed, decorative fireplace, large porch and two en-suite bathrooms, one with a walk-in shower and one with a jacuzzi bathtub. Two further top-floor bedrooms, complete the upper level. One with sweeping sea views and one overlooking the olive groves and mountains. On the lower ground floor, the one suite offers two twin rooms with a shared living area and terrace, while the other suite provides a double bedroom with its own sitting area and private terrace.

The separate cottage sleeps a further four guests across two bedrooms. One offers twin baeds and the other a double bed. Each with an en-suite bathroom.

Exterior

The grounds of this elounda seaside villa are as remarkable as the house itself. The 12×6 metre infinity pool overflows toward the sea, flanked on three sides by a generous terrace with barbecue and alfresco dining for twelve. A private wooden sea platform sits directly at the water’s edge, equipped with loungers, sun umbrella and drinks fridge. A Davis Cup-sized tennis court and adjacent boules court cater to the active, while private lessons can be arranged on request. The picturesque Greek Orthodox chapel, with its own patio and panoramic sea views, offers a setting unlike any other. Ancient olive groves, sculpted gardens and a protected Roman tank complete a landscape that feels as layered and storied as the estate itself.

Whereabouts

Elounda sits on the northeastern coast of Crete. It is widely regarded as one of the most glamorous destinations in the Greek islands.
