Villa Maquis | Luxury hideaway in Crete with breathtaking views

inspected Handpicked & carefully verified

Perched on a hilltop in the peaceful northwest of Crete, surrounded by unspoiled nature, lies Villa Maquis: an exclusive holiday villa with panoramic views of the Lefka Ori (White Mountains), Souda Bay, and the shimmering sea. This luxurious hideaway combines complete privacy with the comfort of a five-star retreat and is a dream location for those who cherish peace, space, and refinement. The setting is breathtaking, and the finish is impeccable—modern, high-end, and stylish in every detail.

Villa Maquis was designed by the Greek architecture firm Archtify and is seamlessly integrated into the landscape. The clean-lined design, soft color palette, and natural materials create a striking contrast with the rugged surroundings. Stone walls run like works of art from the exterior to the interior. Art and design are present throughout—from personal paintings by the owner to local artisan pieces. Local flora, wild herbs, and olive trees around the villa enhance the sense of connection to nature.

Inside, you’ll find four spacious bedrooms (for up to 8 guests), each with its bathroom, spread over three floors (accessible by lift) to ensure maximum privacy. The open kitchen and bright living room offer sweeping sea views, while outside, numerous terraces and balconies invite you to enjoy every moment of the day—from breakfast and lunch to aperitifs and long dinners under the stars. Extras such as a gym, a yoga spot in the garden, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, and a saltwater infinity pool complete the villa's impressive facilities.

The surrounding area is just as inviting: explore the traditional village of Vamos, enjoy lunch in a taverna beneath the plane trees, or stroll through the charming streets of Chania. Some of Crete’s most beautiful beaches—like Elafonissi, Balos, and Seitan Limani—are within reach, along with countless hiking trails through impressive gorges.
