Palace
Palace
The Concept: Summer Kingdom
Ever wondered what the sound of silence felt like? Just a 10-minute drive from Elounda, within the tranquility of a lush Mediterranean garden and right over the sea, resides villa Palace, ready to open its doors and welcome you to its kingdom. A spellbinding eight-bedroom mansion, Palace will seduce you to first remove your shoes and then the noises buzzing in your head, allowing you to bask in the soul-soothing energy that makes up life in Greece. Form a group of 16 and get ready to have the vacation of a lifetime, surrounded by all shades of blue and zen sounds of nature.
Outdoors
A vast hillside of indigenous flora is yours to luxuriate in and nothing stands between you and the Aegean Sea. Log out of all devices, press pause and re-connect with each other as you enjoy the amazing views of endless blue touching the horizon. If you can ever get enough of that view, challenge each other with a match at the Davis-Cup-size tennis court or with a game at the boules court. For a cool break during the hot day, rejuvenate yourself with a plunge in the infinity pool or walk to your private wooden platform right by the sea. There, you’ll find sun loungers, a fridge for your drinks and a ladder into the crystal-clear sea. Get back on your shaded terrace for a BBQ-grilled feast. Cretan produce is of premium quality and food never tasted so good before. Enjoy as the smell of pines and local herbs flood you in your every breath.
Indoors
Divided into the main villa and a separate cottage, this beach house in Crete offers an array of socializing areas for your entire group but also many private spots ideal for retreating in solace. Exceptional artwork and artifacts, and lavish, classic furnishings create a romantic Italian-palazzo ambience in every chamber, while Crete’s glorious sunlight floods the interiors, accentuating the peacefulness you’ll experience here. A fully equipped kitchen backs out onto a terrace inducing the feeling of the inside flowing to the outside and all 8 bedrooms are elegantly decorated, each with a different style, equipped with plush linens to swathe you at bedtime, cocooning you even further into sweet dreams.
Good to know
Your Crete luxury villa is only 10 minutes by car to Elounda, the island’s most luxurious holiday resort. Here you’ll find attractive shops, bars and restaurants wrapped around the harbor, while some of Crete’s most pristine beaches are within short distance. The villa also provides a stunning stone chapel with awe-inspiring sea views, so, if you haven’t decided when to get married yet, stop searching. You just found it.
