Right by the sea in South-East Crete, Moonlight villas set the highest standards of luxury, beauty, elegance, ecological simplicity, and modern comforts. High ceilings and expansive floor-to-ceiling doors provide a sense of space and openness, offering breathtaking unobstructed endless sea vistas from nearly every single angle of the property. Surrounded by manicured tamarack trees and a rocky coast with lounges, the expansive outdoor space with private infinity pools and spa is ideal for family gatherings, celebrations, or tranquil moments of leisure, a true sanctuary, providing an idyllic setting to soak up the sun, enjoy al fresco dining, and admire stunning sea views. One Moonlight villa – Galilean Moons – with 10 bedrooms, comfortably accommodating 19 guests, with the flexibility to accommodate up to 27 if needed, is perfect for large groups, weddings and celebrations. Its unique design is ideal for an intergenerational family holiday, as it allows autonomy while mutually benefiting from proximity. Another Moonlight villa – Nereid – comfortably hosting 14 guests in its 7 ensuite bedrooms is the epitome of private luxury and adult indulgence. Each bedroom is a tranquil heaven featuring private balconies or terraces with stunning views of the Mediterranean sea. Two smaller villas – Galatea and Psamanthe – with 2 bedrooms each, are perfect for a single family. Moonlight villas’ allure is framed by their beachfront location, breathtaking sea views, bespoke interior design, top quality furnishings, plus superb concierge service. Enjoy delicious home-cooked meals in the privacy of your seaside villa while also marveling in the stunning sea views and listening to the soothing sound of waves splashing on the rocky beach. Home-made Cretan-inspired breakfast cooked at the villa, private Cretan cooking lessons, as well as dinners or full-board, combined with the best Greek wine and champagne stocked at the villa are all additional amenities that can be booked in advance.

Dear guest We are a Greek-American family - originally from this quiet village in southeast Crete. Growing up under the clear, star-lit skies of southeast Crete, I have always been captivated by the moon and the stars. In fact, my childish dream was to be an astro-physicist. This nighttime marine enchantment provided the inspiration for the Moonlight Villas. We love this small corner of the world that combines beautiful weather year-around, spectacular beaches, mountainous wild beauty, with Cretan culture and cuisine. Welcome to our homes! Let me know how I can help to make your holidays unforgettable.

Its namesake ‘Moonlight’ stands for the spectacular moon-on-water views that make the nights spectacularly bright during waxing gibbous and full moon. Unobstructed endless sea vistas offer secluded serenity, yet the villas are only a few minutes away from modern comforts: seaside authentic tavernas, supermarkets, bakery, pharmacy and a health center, offering an excellent choice for groups seeking a car-free holiday experience. These stunning holiday homes fuse luxury elite living with home comforts, perfect for family-led forays, large groups that wish to cherish each other’s company and well-being retreat breaks, while being pampered by some of the best views the area has to offer. With its ample outdoor areas, deluxe amenities and comfortable indoor spaces, Moonlight villas are the epitome of an all-year-around indulgence.
