Set within gated grounds overlooking Chania and the Venetian Harbour, Alma is a contemporary residence designed to combine privacy, expansive living spaces, and uninterrupted views across Crete’s northern coastline. Positioned on a hillside surrounded by mature trees and landscaped gardens, the property balances a strong architectural presence with a calm and highly residential atmosphere.
The house extends across 650 sqm on a 4,300 sqm plot, with interiors arranged over multiple levels to maximise both natural light and the surrounding outlook. Wide floor-to-ceiling openings frame views of the sea and the city below, while natural stone, warm timber, and clean white surfaces soften the contemporary architecture throughout the home. In the evening, the harbour lights become part of the landscape visible from nearly every principal room and terrace.
The main living areas are generous yet restrained in style, centred around two separate lounges, a formal dining space, and a fully equipped kitchen with integrated appliances and large preparation areas. Sliding glass doors open directly onto shaded terraces and outdoor seating areas, allowing the interior spaces to extend naturally outdoors during the warmer months. The transition between house, garden, and pool has been carefully considered, creating multiple areas for privacy as well as larger communal spaces.
Five bedrooms are distributed across different sections of the residence, offering separation and independence for family and guests. The primary suite occupies its own private area and includes a lounge, office space, walk-in wardrobe, and an en suite bathroom with a heated indoor plunge pool. Additional bedrooms open onto terraces or garden areas, many with direct sea views and soft natural light throughout the day.
The outdoor areas form a central part of the property’s character. An eco-purified heated infinity pool runs along the main terrace, positioned toward the open panorama of Chania and the sea beyond. Covered dining areas, a pool bar, BBQ kitchen, and shaded lounge spaces create a sequence of outdoor rooms connected by stone walkways and planted gardens. A single glass left beside the pool at sunset feels entirely at home here.
Dedicated wellness facilities include a private gym, Turkish hammam, Scandinavian sauna, massage room, and relaxation areas. Additional features include central heating, air conditioning, security system, staff quarters, storage rooms, parking, and smart home infrastructure.
Despite its secluded setting, Alma remains just minutes from the centre of Chania, the harbour, and the northern beaches of Crete, combining immediate access to the city with the atmosphere of a private hillside estate.
