Located right on the beach, you’ll wake up to the sound of the waves and enjoy uninterrupted sea views. Just a short drive from Palaiochora and some of Crete’s most famous beaches, the villa offers the ideal balance of tranquility and exploration.

Beachfront Villa Sando 1 Crete - 70m² Luxury Villa with Private Pool and Stunning Views - On the Beach & Near Palaiochora


On the stunning coast between the White Mountains and the Libyan Sea, on the unspoiled Grammeno peninsula, lie Beachfront Sando Villas Crete - three elegant, two-storey villas designed for unforgettable seaside living. Surrounded by rare cedar trees and endless blue skies, this is a place where nature feels untouched and time slows down.

Each villa features a large private swimming pool and is built just steps from the sea. Open your front door and choose between two beautiful beaches: the golden, Blue Flag-awarded Grammeno Beach, or the peaceful pebbled shore of Votsalo Beach on the other side of the peninsula.

Located near Palaiochora in Chania, this is your dream beachfront escape - where modern comfort meets Crete’s wild beauty. Crystal-clear waters, glowing sunsets, and the soothing sound of the waves create the perfect setting for romance, family holidays, or pure relaxation.

Whether you're looking to explore or simply unwind by the sea, Beachfront Villas Sando offer everything you need for a truly unforgettable Cretan experience.

Prime Location

The villa is located on the peaceful Grammeno Peninsula, one of the most beautiful and unspoiled coastal areas in southwest Crete. The neighbourhood is known for its crystal-clear waters, soft sandy beaches, and rare cedar forest that reaches almost to the sea.

Grammeno feels wonderfully relaxed and uncrowded - even in summer. Instead of large resorts, you’ll find small villas, family-run accommodations, and quiet beachfront tavernas. It’s the perfect setting for guests seeking:

- Morning swims just steps from home

- Scenic coastal walks at sunset

- A calm, nature-filled atmosphere

- Safe, shallow waters ideal for families


The area remains authentic and low-key, offering a true escape from busy tourist centres.

 


Palaiochora – A Charming Seaside Town (5 km Away)

Just a short 5-minute drive (or scenic bike ride) from the villa, Palaiochora is a vibrant yet laid-back coastal town on the Libyan Sea. Often described as Crete’s “hippie town,” it blends bohemian charm with traditional Cretan hospitality.


Here you’ll find:

- A wide choice of seaside tavernas and cafés

- Local bakeries, supermarkets, and boutiques

- Beach bars along Pachia Ammos

- A picturesque harbour with boat excursions

- Evening pedestrian streets full of life in summer


Despite its popularity, Palaiochora has preserved its authentic character. It’s lively without feeling crowded - the ideal balance between activity and relaxation.

 

 

Natural Beauty All Around

The villa sits between sea and mountains, with the dramatic peaks of the Lefka Ori (White Mountains) rising in the distance. The region is perfect for:

- Hiking scenic gorges

- Exploring hidden coves

- Snorkelling in clear waters

- Day trips by boat to Gavdos, Europe’s southernmost island

- Day trips by boat to Sougia, Agia Roumeli, Loutro and Chora Sfakion


This part of Crete is less commercial than the north coast, offering a more authentic and nature-focused experience.

 

 


Accessibility & Wider Area

The area is about a 1 hour scenic drive from Chania, making it remote enough to feel special - yet accessible for arrivals and day trips. The journey itself is part of the experience, winding through mountains, olive groves, and traditional villages.

 

 

Why Guests Love This Location

Guests consistently choose this neighbourhood for:

- Its peaceful beachfront setting

- Proximity to town without being in the centre

- Safe and swimmable beaches

- Stunning sunsets over the Libyan Sea

- A genuine, slower pace of life


In short, this is south Crete at its best - natural, authentic, and beautifully relaxed.

 

 

Local Dining & Culture

- Tavernas & Cafés – Fresh seafood, local cheeses, and Cretan olive oil dishes

- Wine & Spirits – Taste local wines & raki at family-run spots

- Village Markets – Seasonal produce, honey, and herbs

- Beach Bars – Laid-back drinks with a view

The villa is right by Grammeno Beach, a beautiful stretch of sand and pebbles where you can stroll, swim, or enjoy a beachside café within minutes.

From the villa, it’s an enjoyable walk or bike ride along the scenic coastal road to Pachia Ammos and other nearby coves such as Plakaki and Psilos Volakas.

 


Public Transport

During the warmer months, local KTEL buses run regularly between Palaiochora and Grammeno, making stops just a few minutes’ ride from the villa - an easy and affordable option if you’re exploring without a car.

Buses also connect Palaiochora with Chania and other parts of Crete, so you can enjoy day trips along the coast.

 


Car & Taxi

Renting a car is one of the most convenient ways to see more of the southwest coast of Crete at your own pace - ideal for visiting beaches, tavernas and hidden coves.

Taxis are easily arranged in town and provide quick transfers between Grammeno, the centre of Palaiochora (5 km), and beyond if needed.

 

By Sea

From Palaiochora harbour, daily boat excursions depart to nearby coastal highlights like Sougia, Agia Roumeli, Loutro, Sfakia and the island of Gavdos - perfect for a change of scenery and a memorable day trip on the Libyan Sea.

 


Local Tips

Scooters and bikes are available to rent in Palaiochora and offer a fun way to discover nearby beaches and coves.

Many guests enjoy combining walking or cycling with short taxi rides - especially around sunset when the light is beautiful along the coast.

A magnificent sandy beach which is absolutely suitable for children because it is only very slightly sloping. Actually, the villa is on the beach. Nevertheless, privacy with large pool, loungers and hammock. Restaurants are also within walking distance…
A magnificent sandy beach which is absolutely suitable for children because it is only very slightly sloping. Actually, the villa is on the beach. Nevertheless, privacy with large pool, loungers and hammock. Restaurants are also within walking distance. Our Villa was equipped with all the amenities like large bedroom with panoramic sea and scenery views. We liked that everything was thought of like : yoga mats, Nordic walking sticks, dumbbells, all kinds of cards and board games, enough clothespins, beach towel clips... even fridge bag for the beach and much more you know when available. We lacked absolutely nothing! We will be back again!! Thank you Maria

Maria is a fantastic host. She is caring a lot about her guests and wants to make their stay in the villas perfect.We enjoyed our holidays there very much. There is everything you need to relax and have a good time. The beds are very comfy and the equipment of the villas is nice, modern and works perfect. The surroundings were beautiful and wild. In the springtime the place is colorful and quiet with very few tourists around. We liked that. The beach in front of the house was ours almost all the time. Elafonisi is astonishing and Paleochora a nice small city with lots of good restaurants and bars.We love these Villas.

Our favourite location we stayed at over 3 weeks in Crete!

Absolutely beautiful beach location - the house itself is perfect - luxurious and so comfortable. Toughest decision over 3 days was whether to swim in our private pool or the beautiful beach right out front. We will be returning!
