Villas in Crete - Villa Aptera, Domes of Elounda, Elounda

Villa Aptera is a wonderfully intimate, luxurious property with magnificent views across the bay of Elounda. Beautifully appointed, with an eclectic mix of exotic and contemporary styles, it’s ideally suited to couples seeking privacy and comfort yet with all the facilities and attentive service of a first class resort.
This wonderfully relaxed, intimate villa is one of four exclusive luxury properties to enjoy a ‘Six Star’ VIP service at the Domes of Elounda resort. With spectacular views over the beautiful bay of Elounda and the little island of Spinalonga, it’s a perfect property for couples, including honeymooners, looking for space and privacy along with the benefits and facilities of a first class resort.

Polished timber flooring, a traditional fireplace and warm, plaster pink décor create a cosy, romantic ambience while the funky orange leather chair and bright citrus accessories introduce a contemporary edge. The eclectic style continues with Moroccan-inspired silver furnishings, an impressive domed ceiling and sparkling Spiridon light fittings. Huge patio doors lead out to the timber-decked veranda where a delightful private pool, elegant loungers and an outdoor dining suite overlook the magnificent blue waters of the Mediterranean.

A meticulously designed kitchen and inside dining area allow for total independence when you feel like cooking, however there are three excellent restaurants available within the resort, two run by Greek Michelin-star chef Lefteri Lazarou, or you can order restaurant meals to be served to you in the privacy of your villa. If you’d like to venture further afield, it’s just a short taxi ride to Elounda town where you’ll find plenty of shops, bars and restaurants to choose from.

Downstairs, the spacious, tranquil bedroom is beautifully appointed with sumptuous Designer’s Guild fabrics, a choice of pillows and soft, full-length bathrobes. The glamorous en suite bathroom, generously supplied with natural Korres® bath products, is fitted with a Jacuzzi bathtub while a separate shower room is also available. The bedroom’s glass doors open onto a charming patio area, offering a further vantage point from which to savour the wonderful sea views.

The staff at the Domes of Elounda resort go out of their way to ensure your holiday experience is second to none. The ‘Six Star’ VIP treatment provided to guests of the four ‘ultraluxe’ villas includes a poolside Champagne and caviar welcome on the evening of your arrival, a deluxe breakfast with fresh flowers delivered to the villa on your first morning and a complimentary photo session.
