Native Beach Villa, which is located in Chania, was born from a passion to introduce the Cretan culture and the Mediterranean philosophy to all of you by creating a house that combines efficient, sustainable design with locally sourced materials and a respect to the site’s history and lifestyle. A house that reflects the traditional charm, authentic lifestyle and modern minimalism. Measuring 82 m2 the one floor Villa accommodates 2 bedrooms (a double bedroom and a twin bedroom), 2 bathrooms, a living room, and an open space kitchen.
The living room merges with the incredible view surrounding thanks to the large-scaled open window in front of the natural-style pool. Various decorative elements derive from Cretan art such as the lace covers of the bed and sofas in traditional Cretan derived patterns, pottery items, and wooden elements reflect a style deeply rooted in its surroundings and architectural heritage. It is a celebration of traditional craftsmanship, and a bohemian style interior design, presenting a tactile, laid-back luxury atmosphere. Shaded by the large pergola, the outdoor living area with the BBQ at the heart of the house is flanked by the living room and kitchen volumes whose large openings create a seamless transition between inside and outside.
A few steps away, the heated natural-style pool almost curved in the landscaped gardens with the sea looming beyond stretch out below. The use of Cretan stones and wood on both the interior and exterior of the house, all in beige and earth tones create a warm and welcoming feeling. Meanwhile, the jacuzzi placed on the rooftop allows the gaze to wander across the Cretan blue sky and the Mediterranean Sea. Whichever way one looks at it, Native Beach Villa is the sort of home that Cretan island living dreams are made of: one that is in harmony with its surroundings, that honors local cultural traditions, and that is tailor-made to provide the best for its residents..
