Domus Mare Villas have been distinguished with the 2024 Tourism Awards Bronze for Beach Villa of the Year

Set on the rocks above the crystal clear waters of South Crete, Domus Mare Villas are a haven of tranquility, enjoying full privacy away from it all, boasting privileged access to an isolated cove and stunning sea views out to Paximadia island. Domus Mare I and II are a newly built complex of 2 villas, in an enviable position, rubbing shoulders with the Lybian sea, offering an awe inspiring coastal sea view. Waves lapping the shore create the perfect calming rhythm to compliment the serene outdoor environment with its beautifully landscaped garden of local flora and beach style pool. 

Layout

Each newly built, “smart’ villa, has been designed with high quality furnishings and fixtures, has a hot tub, covers 140 m2, spreads in 2 floors and can accommodate 4 people in beds and up to 5 if required. The interior of each villa offers simple modern elegance with quality finishes while light flows through the large glass doors throughout the property, blurring the lines between interior and exterior.

Ground Floor

The main entrance of Domus Mare I opens up to a split level, open-plan area featuring the living room, kitchen and indoor dining table. The simple, modern design incorporates natural colours and materials with high quality furnishings and finishes.  

The living room features a comfortable, large corner sofa and poof with a low level coffee table, a fireplace and a 65’’ Smart TV with Netflix and Satellite. Large glass doors lead to the poolside. The oversized dining table seats 6 and uniquely incorporates the oven hob. 

The modern, fully equipped kitchen is set on the upper split level with built-in appliances of fridge and freezer, water filter, wall oven, microwave, dishwasher, espresso and filter coffee machine, kettle, toaster, blender and a full range of cookware, dishes and utensils.
