Esse, meaning “to be” in Latin and closely connected to the Ancient Greek ousía, meaning essence or true nature, reflects the villa’s philosophy of conscious living. Here, clean-lined architecture, natural light, and serene proportions come together to create a retreat shaped around balance, wellbeing, and quiet sophistication. Poised to embrace sea views and the gentle rhythm of island life, Esse Villa is conceived for guests who appreciate both privacy and connection. Its minimalist character, curated leisure spaces, and restorative atmosphere create an elegant setting for unhurried Cretan days, meaningful gatherings, and moments of pure ease. A contemporary private haven where design, wellness, and elevated comfort invite guests simply to be.

Across approximately 4000 m² of outdoor grounds, including a 260 m² green nature area, sunlit terraces, generous lounge corners, and open-air gathering spaces invite effortless island living. Days flow from swims in the 100 m² design-led pool to tranquil moments in the 6-seater spa whirlpool connected to the pool. A spacious BBQ area with outdoor kitchenette sets the scene for refined al fresco dining beneath the evening sky. Younger guests are thoughtfully considered with a children’s pool and a fully fenced open-air, featuring a swing, playhouse, and slide.
