Having recently opened its ultra-exclusive new villa – The Mansion, Daios Cove is the new Cretian hotspot for any Island traveller.

Daios Cove Luxury Resort and Villas, Crete, has officially opened ‘The Mansion’ – a new exclusive villa which comes complete with exquisite design, outdoor heated pool, indoor heated pool, tranquil in-house spa and staff quarters, and boasts600sqm of light and airy living space set over three floors, plus 300sqm of outdoor living.

The three-bedroom hideaway, which is set on the north-east shores of the island, will set a new benchmark for villa accommodation on this stunning Greek island.

 

The Design

The new villa’s state-of-the-art design takes inspiration from the spectacular setting of Daios Cove. Located on the tranquil turquoise shores of Crete in its own private cove, The Mansion’s design and layout make the most of the setting’s abundant natural light – huge floor to ceiling windows line the airy building, meaning guests can enjoy the incredible views from almost any point in the room.

The interiors are fresh and modern – light, natural woods line the floors, white marble creates an incredible sense of space, while glass also dominates.

Designer furniture has been meticulously chosen and includes unique pieces from world-famous contemporary brands B&B Italia and Maxalto. Natural light floods the property, while designer lighting from Catellani & Smith and Occhio provides warm and intimate lighting for cocktails and private evening meals.

Bang & Olufsen speakers are discreetly placed through the property to provide a soundtrack to cooking, sunbathing or working out.

The Mansion comes compete with staff quarters, should guests wish to make the most of Crete’s glorious natural produce and cuisine by leaving a chef to combine delicious fresh ingredients in the fully equipped kitchen. If holiday makers prefer to cook themselves, the modern, clean-cut kitchen boasts a clutter-free design.

 

The Master Bedroom

While the property boasts three beautiful bedrooms, two with walk-in wardrobes, the master bedroom is particularly impressive thanks to its ceiling-high windows with some of the best views on the island, looking out over the azure water of the Aegean sea and sun-drenched cliffs surrounding the property.

Fresh white furniture and cotton linen create an immediate sense of calm, while the bathroom is a sanctuary, with twin sinks, a deep bathtub perfect for a relaxing bubble bath and huge shower cabin – all of which come with the mesmerising views the Mansion is sure to become famous for.

 

The Spa

Guests looking to really relax will adore the Mansion’s own fully equipped spa.Beautiful tiles line the wall of the Starpool steam bath and 20sqm-metre heated indoor pool, while the sauna is spacious enough for several guests to enjoy at the same time.

Anne Semonin – the luxury Parisian skincare brand famous for bespoke facials and massages – has created a special spa menu for Daios Cove, and therapists will be on-hand for private facials and spa sessions in the massage area of the serene private spa, or on the privacy of the Mansion’s sun-drenched pool deck.

For those looking to work out, the villa has its own gym packed with the latest equipment from world-famous fitness brand Technogym and guests can book personal training sessions as well as yoga and Pilates.

 

The Pool

The Mansion’s prime positioning will make the 56sqm pool-with-a-view hard to leave. Early morning swims and lazy lilo sessions will be enjoyed with stunning vistas. Day beds will also be available for those looking to relax and read out by the pool.

The Mansion is one of the newest accommodation choices to be unveiled at the five-star Daios Cove Resort on the north-east shores of Crete.
