Amazing Seafront Villa in Crete for sale, Heraklio

 

Overview

Perched high above a wild and unspoilt bay on Crete’s north coast, Pelagos is a newly built luxury residence where the sea becomes part of everyday life. With no construction interrupting the view, the villa commands an uninterrupted panorama of the Mediterranean, offering a rare combination of privacy, architectural distinction, and elevated coastal position within the community of Achlada, Gazi.

The Residence

Extending across approximately 788 square metres over three levels that follow the natural contours of the hillside, Pelagos is designed with large glass walls that draw light and sea views into every principal space. The architecture is modern and restrained, combining natural materials and clean lines with more than 350 square metres of terraces built for outdoor living.

  • Seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms across the residence
  • Central living floor with a sea-facing living room exceeding 60 square metres, opening via sliding glass doors onto the terrace and infinity pool
  • Open-plan kitchen with island and modern appliances, adjoining a dining area and a covered veranda with fireplace and summer kitchen
  • A prime suite on the main level with private bathroom and walk-in wardrobe
  • Upper floor bedroom wing comprising four bedrooms, each with sea views and private bathrooms
  • Covered parking for two vehicles with direct internal access
  • Lower level dedicated to wellness and leisure: gym with sea views, spa with sauna, hammam and massage room, media room, secondary living area, laundry and technical rooms
  • Separate guest apartment with its own living area and bedrooms for independent accommodation
  • Infinity pool positioned at the terrace edge, visually merging with the sea beyond

Location & Lifestyle

Pelagos lies within an exclusive private seaside community in the Lygaria area, offering residents a private beach, marina facilities, sports areas and seafront dining options. Lygaria itself is a tranquil coastal setting on Crete’s north coast, known for its sheltered sandy beach and calm waters, and located a short drive from nearby coastal villages and approximately twenty minutes from Heraklion and its international airport. Despite this accessibility, the villa’s elevated position and absence of neighbouring development ensure a strong sense of seclusion.
