About this property

Zen House, Zen House Crete

  • A private home available for guests in search of a tranquil place to relax and reconnect with the core elements of nature. Set in a simple and natural environment overlooking the sea, our Zen House is eco-friendly and it carries a holistic approach integrated with traditional elements from the diverse personality of the island of Crete.

    This eco-friendly, light-filled villa offers breathtaking panoramic sea views, a secluded private beach accessible by a stone path, and an infinity pool that blends seamlessly with the horizon.
    Spanning two floors, the home accommodates up to 6 adults in three elegant king-bedded bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms.

    The spacious open living area flows effortlessly onto a generous integrated balcony, creating a breathtaking connection with the sea — where the horizon becomes part of your everyday living.

    Surrounded by the elements of water, air, and earth, Zen House is the perfect haven for mindful escapes — whether for quiet reflection, yoga and meditation, or bespoke wellness retreats.

    The intention and energy of our spaces are designed to stimulate and allow for a holistic and healthy lifestyle; supported by our choice of natural and sustainable materials and our green attitude.

    Traditional and organic products and ingredients inspired by local customs and the world-renowned Cretan hospitality alongside modern conveniences, resulting in a unique and warm Zen House experience.

    As I currently live abroad, I may not be present to welcome you in person upon arrival. Our dedicated property manager will be there to greet you personally and help with anything you need (special requests, restaurant tips, etc.).
    My parents, who live in the villa above, are discreetly available to help when needed — always with the genuine kindness and warmth of true Cretans.
