Thalassa Villas in the St Nicolas Bay Resort

Thalassa Villas in the St Nicolas Bay Resort

Luxury Villas at St. Nicolas Bay

Perched on a hillside overlooking the sparkling Mirabello Bay, these eight exceptional Thalassa Villas and two suites combine the ultimate privacy of a luxury villa with the five-star facilities and attentive service of the renowned St. Nicolas Bay Resort Hotel & Villas. Perfectly blending contemporary design with traditional Cretan architecture, each villa offers stunning sea views, spacious living areas, and private pools, as well as direct access to the sea via a private path. This stunning collection was refreshed and renewed in 2024 elevating the standard of accommodation provided.

Upon arrival, guests are welcomed with champagne, mineral water, and a fresh fruit basket, while the villa’s mini-bar is replenished daily with a selection of non-alcoholic beverages. Start each day with a complimentary à la carte breakfast served in the privacy of your villa and look forward to delightful daily surprises—perhaps a bottle of wine, ouzo, or local Cretan treats.

A dedicated Villa Guest Relations Desk is on hand to arrange tailored in-villa experiences, from private spa treatments to wine tastings and cooking lessons, ensuring every need is catered to at the touch of a button.

Guests can also enjoy all the amenities of the five-star resort just steps away. Choose from five exceptional restaurants, including the fine dining Minotaure and the waterfront Kafenion serving traditional Cretan dishes and superb seafood. Pamper yourself at the state-of-the-art Elemis Spa, featuring pioneering Elemis Biotec treatments, or make the most of the children’s club, cinema, games room, boutique, and watersports centre.

These villas are ideal for families and couples seeking privacy and space to unwind, all while enjoying the warmth of authentic Cretan hospitality. With attentive yet discreet service, signature amenities, and the dedicated support of a personal concierge, your comfort and enjoyment are our utmost priority.
