Lygaria Retreat

Balinese-Inspired Luxury Villa in Unspoiled Crete
Crete has no shortage of villas, but few understand luxury quite like this one. Set in one of the island’s most unspoiled corners, this contemporary retreat pairs effortless, laid-back elegance with refined modern living, all within lush Balinese-inspired gardens that feel like a private oasis in the land of the Minoan legends.

Location
Just 15 minutes from Heraklion and 40 minutes from the new airport. The beach of Made is a 3-minute drive away, Lygaria is 6 minutes and Agia Pelagia 10 minutes. Enjoy the privacy of a hidden retreat, with the city, the airport and the beaches all within a short drive.

Arranged over three floors, plus a private pool guesthouse. The ground floor offers a spacious living room with open-plan kitchen opening onto the main heated pool, and two master bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. The first floor has a second living area with open-plan kitchen, opening onto the heated jacuzzi pool and the barbecue terrace. Upstairs you will find a master bedroom with en suite bathroom, a double bedroom, a children’s room with bunk beds, a shared bathroom with walk-in shower and two terraces, ideal for unwinding while the little ones sleep. The pool guesthouse features a beautifully appointed master bedroom with en suite bathroom and direct pool access.

The Pool Terrace
Sunbeds, pool poufs, a comfortable sofa, two armchairs and a gas fireplace set the scene for long, magical summer evenings, while the outdoor gas barbecue makes alfresco dining effortless. A water control system keeps the pool at the perfect temperature all year round.
