Villa Martes

Description

The Concept: Nomad’s Muse

Set on the beautiful island of Spinalonga, Villa Martes is a luxurious ten-bedroom retreat where contemporary comfort meets the natural beauty of Crete. Spread across three sunlit levels, this exceptional villa combines elegant living spaces, panoramic sea views and thoughtful amenities to create a truly relaxing Mediterranean escape.

Days unfold at your own pace, whether you are unwinding beside the heated infinity pool, enjoying a morning workout in the gym or retreating to the private spa for a moment of calm. Evenings invite long, leisurely meals beneath the pergola, time in the heated jacuzzi and quiet moments overlooking the sea. With Plaka Beach just 450 metres away, the coastline is always within easy reach.

Outdoors

The outdoor spaces at Villa Martes are designed for enjoying the best of the Cretan sunshine. A heated infinity pool creates a striking centrepiece, reflecting the blue sky and surrounding seascape. Comfortable sun loungers line the terrace, offering the perfect spot to relax throughout the day.

For a different kind of relaxation, the heated jacuzzi sits within a private patio beneath a skylight. Meanwhile, the shaded pergola and gas BBQ provide an inviting setting for outdoor dining with family and friends.

Plaka Beach is just a 450-metre stroll away, where the pebbled shoreline and clear Mediterranean waters await. Families can also enjoy the children’s playground, while a ping-pong table offers entertainment for guests of all ages.

Indoors

Inside, Villa Martes combines contemporary design with bright, welcoming interiors. Generous living areas provide plenty of room to gather, while an elevator connects all three levels for added convenience.

The dedicated wellness area is a particular highlight, featuring a hammam, sauna, massage room and fully equipped gym. After a workout or a day exploring the coast, guests can retreat here to relax and recharge. The lower-level patio, complete with a heated jacuzzi, offers another peaceful space to unwind.

The ten bedrooms provide a comfortable retreat for guests, with the upper-level suites especially appealing for their sea views and private balconies. Enjoy a quiet morning coffee overlooking the water or settle in for a peaceful evening as the Mediterranean light begins to fade.
