Villa Orlana

Welcome to Villa Orlana, set on the hilltop of Elounda with some of the finest gulf and sea views in the area. From the Cycladic-style infinity pool to the many outdoor terraces, every space is designed to help you slow down and enjoy the beauty of Crete.

Set on the hilltop of Elounda, Villa Orlana overlooks the bay and offers breathtaking views across the Kalydon peninsula to the open sea beyond, one of the very few villas in the area with such an outlook. Built in typical Cycladic style across two separate buildings, the architecture recreates the feel of a traditional Greek town, with sunlit terraces and cool, shaded corners echoing the charm of authentic island living.

The villa offers 200 sqm of interior space and 170 sqm of outdoor area spread across seven distinct spaces, allowing guests to gather together or enjoy quieter corners of their own. The main house includes a large living room with open-plan kitchen, a master bedroom on the ground floor and two further master bedrooms upstairs, while a second building houses two additional bedrooms. All five bedrooms are ensuite, air-conditioned, and enjoy breathtaking sea views.

The main pool terrace features a built-in BBQ and bar, ideal for preparing drinks to enjoy poolside or from the sun loungers while taking in the view toward Spinalonga. At its centre, a 60 sqm Cycladic infinity pool—heatable from October to May—offers a secluded, calm setting well suited to a romantic escape or a private yoga retreat. With Wi-Fi, a fully equipped kitchen, and services such as private chef and yacht charters available on request, Villa Orlana offers an experience shaped by privacy, design and the timeless beauty of Elounda.
