Luxury Villa for Rent in Crete – Elounda, the CRV-1 estate rests on a quiet hillside above the Gulf of Elounda, wrapped in handmade stone walls and mature gardens of olive trees, wild flowers and Cretan vegetation. Framed views open across the sea toward the Venetian fortress island of Spinalonga, and the north-easterly orientation brings clear morning light and sunrise over the water.
This is a stone-built contemporary residence, approached over a small stone bridge and shaded entry courtyards, where architecture and landscape were designed to move as one. Stone-paved paths thread between lit rocks and flowering borders, past exterior kiosks and quiet hideaways set into the grounds.
Set across three levels, the villa sleeps 16 guests in eight en-suite bedrooms, two of them reached by independent entrances for added privacy. The first-floor master carries a four-poster bed, a rain-shower bathroom and a private terrace facing the sea, while further rooms combine 1.80 double and twin configurations, several opening onto broad terraces with built-in seating.
Interiors are finished in exposed stone, natural hardwood floors and marble, gathered around a double-height living room with a fireplace, a bar and study area, and satellite television. The mood is warm and tactile rather than showy, and the scale makes this a natural choice for anyone weighing a luxury villa in Crete with 8 bedrooms for a family or a group of friends.
An infinity-edge pool reaches toward the horizon, framed by wide stone patios, cushioned daybeds and an open-air shower. Three distinct dining areas serve the outdoors: one beside the pool, one to the side with sea and town views, and one at the open-air kitchen with its barbecue, each seating sixteen and one extending to thirty for larger gatherings.
Beyond the terraces, an open-air lounge scattered with cushions and beanbags looks out over the pool, the natural place to gather as the light softens, so this Elounda villa with sea view suits long al fresco lunches and quiet afternoons in equal measure.
Indoors, a fully equipped kitchen opens directly to the terraces, with a formal table seating sixteen alongside the study and bar area. A lower-ground wellness floor holds a gym, table tennis and foosball, while the grounds now include a multi-sport court for tennis, pickleball, volleyball and half-court basketball, together with a HYROX-style functional training set-up for guests planning an active, wellness or athletic retreat, and yoga sessions can be arranged on request.
Stone footpaths wind through the olive groves to hammocks and rest areas, and a hidden children’s playground sits a few minutes away, close enough for families yet unseen and unheard from the house, with secure parking on site.

The estate stands above Elounda, a short drive from the marina and its waterfront tavernas, with Agios Nikolaos and Lake Voulismeni about 9 km away. The island of Spinalonga and the fishing village of Plaka lie within easy reach for a morning on the water, Elounda beach is 5 km (10 minutes), and a grocery store is just 4 minutes down the road.
Both Elounda and Agios Nikolaos offer traditional tavernas, gourmet restaurants and marinas with full yacht services, so provisioning and a day at sea are never far. Heraklion Airport is 66 km, close to 54 minutes by car, and Heraklion Port around an hour.
