Tanned Sky

This stunning Cretan home has more than a hint of a bohemian Balinese aesthetic. Maybe it's the floating yoga terrace, perched over the Bay of Kissamos, or the leafy paths that wind past quiet lounge areas to the private pebbled beach (don't forget the snorkelling equipment). The open-plan terrace is perfect for group gatherings, from sun-soaked pool chats to cocktail parties fuelled by homemade pizza. Inside the villa, you might be glad of the gym and sauna when you want a moment to yourself, while bare stone walls and semi-open en-suites offer continued connection to the local landscape. Wander into nearby Ravdoucha for a taste of Greek hospitality, or drive to Kissamos for island boat trips and historic sights.
