Luxury Villa with Panoramic Sea Views for sale Chania Crete

Built in 2022 to a standard of construction and finish that distinguishes it immediately from the broader Chania market, the 198 sq.m. residence combines minimalist architectural precision, seamless indoor-outdoor living, and a suite of outdoor amenities — centred on a heated saltwater infinity pool of 56 sq.m. — that place it firmly in the premium tier of Cretan luxury real estate. Offered fully furnished and fully equipped as a turnkey acquisition, and currently generating rental income until November 2027, this villa presents the rare combination of immediate investment return and long-term lifestyle and capital appreciation potential. Offered at €985,000.

Interior Living Spaces

The villa is arranged across two levels with a clarity of design that makes its 198 sq.m. feel both spacious and coherently connected — a quality that distinguishes well-considered contemporary architecture from properties that merely accumulate square metres.

The ground floor is organised around a bright, open-plan living area where the lounge, dining space and fully equipped modern kitchen flow together without partition. Large sliding aluminium openings run along the principal facade, dissolving the boundary between interior and exterior and allowing the terraces, pool and sea views to become a continuous part of the living environment rather than a backdrop to be glimpsed from behind glass. The minimalist architectural language — clean lines, restrained materiality, generous natural light — creates an atmosphere of refined calm that is immediately felt upon entering.

Two bedrooms occupy this level, one with a private en-suite bathroom and one served by the additional guest bathroom that also serves the communal areas of the ground floor. Both rooms benefit from the villa’s elevated position and its orientation toward the sea.

The upper floor is dedicated entirely to the master suite — a private level of notable quality. The master bedroom commands the finest views in the house, looking out across the Cretan Sea from an elevated position that amplifies the panoramic outlook. A luxurious en-suite bathroom and a dedicated walk-in wardrobe room complete the suite, delivering a hotel-standard master experience that is the natural culmination of the villa’s consistent design ambition.

Outdoor Living

The outdoor environment of this Chania villa has been designed with the same architectural seriousness as the interior — not as an afterthought but as an equal and essential component of the living experience.

The heated saltwater infinity pool — with a water surface of 56.36 sq.m. and an external footprint of 66.51 sq.m. — is the centrepiece. Its scale is genuinely impressive for a private residential pool, and its infinity configuration positions the water surface to align visually with the sea beyond, creating the optical effect that makes this typology so desirable in elevated coastal settings. The pool is heated via a dedicated heat pump system for extended season use, and operates on a saltwater filtration system rather than conventional chlorine treatment — gentler on the skin and eyes, lower in chemical requirements and appreciated by the quality-conscious guests and residents who define this property’s audience.

Surrounding the pool, generous terracing provides multiple lounge and dining configurations. The fully equipped BBQ area creates a natural outdoor entertaining hub. The landscaped garden is planted with low-maintenance Mediterranean species that provide privacy, fragrance and visual softness without imposing significant upkeep demands. An external storage room of approximately 10 sq.m. adds useful practical capacity without intruding on the aesthetic coherence of the outdoor spaces.

The villa’s elevated position within Agios Onoufrios ensures that the sea views from every terrace remain unobstructed — including the sunset orientation that makes evenings here a consistent and memorable experience.

Location Highlights

Agios Onoufrios sits above the northern coastline of the Chania peninsula — elevated, quiet and predominantly residential in character, with a concentration of well-built contemporary villas that reflect its status as one of the area’s most sought-after addresses. The combination of sea views, proximity to the city and accessibility to the peninsula’s finest beaches without the density of the more tourist-oriented coastal strips is precisely what draws both permanent residents and international buyers to this specific enclave.

The nearest beach is 1.5 km away. The local Agios Onoufrios beach is 2 km distant, with the celebrated Kalathas Beach reachable in 4 km. Further along the peninsula, Marathi and Loutraki beaches lie 16 km away and rank among the finest in western Crete. Chania’s Old Venetian Harbour — one of the most beautiful and historically resonant urban waterfronts in Greece — is 8 km from the villa, offering a full complement of fine restaurants, boutiques, cultural sites and the animated evening life of a living Cretan city.

Chania International Airport is 9 km away, providing direct seasonal connections to major European cities and growing year-round connectivity that supports both a permanent lifestyle and a strong rental season. The Port of Souda, 10 km distant, provides ferry connections to Piraeus and the mainland.

Everyday amenities — supermarket, pharmacy, minimarket, bakery, tavernas — are within 2 km, making the property entirely practical for daily life without requiring entry into the city.

Investment Potential

This Agios Onoufrios villa presents a multi-dimensional investment case of uncommon clarity.

In the immediate term, the property is currently tenanted until November 2027, providing a buyer with secured rental income from the date of acquisition — a significant advantage in a market where new luxury villa owners typically face a setup period before income materialises. The sale can be structured either with the existing tenancy in place or with vacant possession, depending on the buyer’s strategy and the terms agreed between the parties.

Beyond the current tenancy, the villa’s specification — heated saltwater infinity pool, panoramic sea views, fully furnished turnkey condition, master suite quality, 2022 construction — positions it at the premium end of the Chania holiday rental market, where demand from European and international visitors for well-designed, private, amenity-rich villa accommodation consistently outpaces supply. Agios Onoufrios benefits from proximity to Chania’s airport and city while remaining sufficiently removed from the tourist density of the more visited coastal areas — a balance that attracts a returning, quality-conscious rental clientele.

Chania has established itself as one of Greece’s most consistently appreciating real estate markets over the past decade, driven by sustained international demand, a strong permanent residential base and the kind of natural, cultural and gastronomic depth that sustains appeal well beyond the seasonal peaks that define less multifaceted destinations.

Non-EU buyers should note that this acquisition may qualify under Greece’s Golden Visa programme, granting Schengen Area residency rights and freedom of movement within the European Union. Greek Exclusive Properties provides full guidance on eligibility, legal structuring and the application process for all international clients.
