Kyma Villa

This exquisite 5-star villa, perched above the Bay of Chania, offers a rare combination of privacy, elegance, and direct access to the sea. Embracing the coastline like no other property in the area, it is one of the few villas with a private pathway leading directly to the rocky shoreline—allowing for peaceful, undisturbed swims in the clear Aegean waters.

Designed by a true sea lover, the villa makes the most of its unique location. Four of the five bedrooms offer breathtaking panoramic views over the turquoise bay, while the fifth overlooks the majestic White Mountains. The architectural lines are clean and minimalistic, the construction is of the highest quality, and the interiors feature carefully curated designer furniture. This is not a rental property built for volume—it was designed as the personal dream home of its owner, and it shows in every detail.

The villa comfortably accommodates up to 11 guests across five private bedrooms. Three of the rooms are fitted with double beds, and two with twin beds, ideal for families or groups of friends. Three of the bedrooms have their own en-suite bathrooms with shower, toilet, and sink, while a fourth features a stylish freestanding bathtub and sink, offering a truly unique bathing experience with uninterrupted sea views. The fifth bedroom, though not en-suite, is conveniently located next to a standalone bathroom that includes a shower, bathtub, toilet, and corian sink.

In addition to the bedrooms, a small open living area near the entrance provides a comfortable sofa bed, perfect for hosting a child as the eleventh guest. The main living room on the pool level opens directly onto the terrace and shaded outdoor dining area. Here, guests can relax on designer sofas, enjoy satellite TV and a Bose sound system, or explore a collection of 60 DVDs. Upstairs, the second living room boasts sweeping views of the sea through large bay windows and includes a PlayStation 3 with a selection of games, along with a curated library featuring books in English, French, and German. This space can also be transformed into a sixth bedroom, thanks to its two quality sofa beds and a sliding wooden door that ensures full privacy.

Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate the villa’s dedicated wellness corner, complete with Bowflex weights up to 24 kg, a workout bench, and yoga mats—all positioned to take full advantage of the stunning views. Whether you’re into strength training, Pilates, or meditative stretching, this space invites you to move and unwind in harmony with the landscape.

Outdoors, the experience continues with an inviting infinity pool that seems to spill into the sea, numerous terraces for lounging or dining, and a serene “dream area” set midway along the private path to the water. The garden at the back offers shaded respite, while the surrounding land has been left purposefully untouched, allowing for a natural blend between villa and environment.

The villa is ideally located in the peaceful Akrotiri peninsula, an area known for its scenic beauty and traditional character. Nearby, you’ll find charming local tavernas and quiet sandy beaches like Stavros, made famous by the film Zorba the Greek. For a change of pace, the vibrant and historic city of Chania is just a 20- to 30-minute drive away, offering everything from boutique shopping and gourmet dining to lively bars and Venetian architecture.

Whether you’re seeking a tranquil escape, a luxurious family getaway, or a base for exploring Crete’s rich cultural heritage, this villa offers an unmatched blend of beauty, comfort, and privacy. Just 15 to 20 minutes from Chania International Airport and two hours from Heraklion, it’s an easy journey to a truly unforgettable stay.
