Casa di Mare: Where Simplicity Meets Luxury in the Heart of Crete

Welcome to Casa di Mare, a serene retreat that blends understated luxury with the natural beauty of Crete’s south coast. Nestled on the secluded Meakis Beach, just 2 km west of the charming village of Arvi, this beachfront villa offers an unparalleled holiday experience.

Immerse yourself in the pristine beauty of Crete’s coastline: golden sands, warm crystalline waters, and sand dunes adorned with delicate sand lilies blooming in August. Surrounding pine and cedar-covered hills add to the allure of this idyllic escape. Every summer, witness the magical journey of the Caretta caretta sea turtles as they lay their eggs in June, with tiny hatchlings embarking on their ocean adventure come August.

The Villa

At Casa di Mare, every detail has been designed for comfort, convenience, and a sense of exclusivity. The spacious living room, with panoramic views of both the sea and mountains, seamlessly connects to the dining area and a fully equipped professional-grade kitchen capable of catering for large gatherings.

The villa’s outdoor spaces evoke the ambiance of a private resort. Four pergola-covered terraces, complete with built-in seating and dining areas, offer the perfect settings for al fresco meals, sunset drinks, or leisurely evenings under the stars. Two terraces feature barbeque areas, one located directly by the sea, while an additional outdoor kitchen ensures effortless entertaining.

The villa comprises two main blocks—the main house and a guesthouse block—plus an extra guestroom by the sea. In total, Casa di Mare provides 12 beautifully designed bedrooms, comfortably accommodating families, groups, or those simply seeking space to unwind.
