Villa Minotaur

About this property

Arrive in style by a pre-arranged limousine when you vacation in the jaw-droppingly gorgeous Villa Minotaur, enjoying the beachfront location of an exclusive resort on the north coast of the Greek island of Crete.

The beautiful Villa Minotaur has three fabulously appointed double bedrooms, and can comfortably accommodate up to six adults and two children, ideal for a family holiday, or a group of friends travelling together. The  luxurious resort has two shared pools with sun loungers, six superb restaurants, a concierge team that can arrange anything from yacht charters to helicopter transfers, a gym, sauna, spa, tennis and squash courts, mini golf and table tennis, a Kid’s Club and children’s amenities, souvenir shops and stores, a team of butlers and private chefs to exceed your expectations, and best of all, its own private beach with sun loungers, personal service, and watersports.

The property takes the first floor of the building (another property underneath) and enjoys its own extensive walled grounds and expertly manicured Mediterranean gardens, with a breathtakingly impressive private swimming pool. The interiors are exquisitely elegant, furnished with classic contemporary pieces, and tastefully decorated in a soothing colour palette of soft creams and cool blues. There is a light and bright open plan living space, with floor-to-ceiling sliding doors that give access to the sea view pool terrace. The seating area has two inviting comfy baby blue and cream sofas, handy coffee and side tables, a cabinet which is home to a flat-screen television, and a wood burning fireplace for those cooler months and cosy evenings. The adjacent dining set is perfect for some indoor entertaining. There is a study area with a desk and chair. The master bedroom has a large double bed, a smart TV, an ensuite bathroom with a Finnish-style sauna, a bathtub, a vanity unit, and a WC. The second bedroom has a double bed and the third has twin beds. There is a bathroom with a corner jet bathtub and a bathroom with a walk-in shower. Keep active on holiday in the fitness studio, with state of the art equipment, a running machine, and an exercise cycle.

Step onto the sweeping sea view tiled terrace, where a centrepiece swimming pool takes pride of place. Relax on the surrounding sun loungers, and snooze the afternoon away under the shady pergola, dressed with billowing white curtains. Take a walk down to the beach and have a swim in the crystal clear waters of the Aegean Sea. As dusk falls dine alfresco with a feast prepared by your own private chef, and raise a toast to the most memorable holiday.

The simply stunning Villa Minotaur can be found at the water’s edge of an ultra-luxury resort complex overlooking the north coast of the Greek island of Crete, set in the Aegean Sea. The villa is a scenic twenty five minute drive through the Cretan countryside from the port and International Nikos Kazantzakis Airport near Heraklion.

Villa Minotaur is set in an exclusive resort which comes with two shared swimming pools with sun loungers and shady brollies, tennis and squash courts, table tennis, and a mini golf course, as well as a fully equipped gym, with spa, sauna, and beauty facilities. The resort boasts six restaurants catering for every taste from fine dining to cocktail bars. There is an on-site concierge team who can arrange almost anything for you, from private yacht and helicopter charters to private chefs and personal trainers. Best of all the villa has direct access to the sandy shores of the Aegean Sea, where by request you can sunbathe on your own private patch of beach, and indulge in exceptional waiter service.

If you can bear to leave the grounds, there are mountains to hike, vineyards to sample this year’s vintage, beautiful beaches with exhilarating watersports, horse riding over sand dunes, sailing around the coast on a yacht or caique, shopping for souvenirs, sipping cocktails in seafront bars, dining in local tavernas, and dancing until dawn at happening clubs.

Discover the history and culture of the island in the nearby ancient city of Heraklion, the Palace of Knossos, the unique town of Agios Nikolaos, and the enigmatic Spinalonga island.
