Description
Introducing the new luxury project Elounda Hills on the largest Greek island, Crete, where ancient Greek culture intertwines with modern lifestyle. Located on the sunny shores of Crete, Elounda Hills offers a unique combination of cultural heritage, modern luxury, and stunning natural beauty.
Through the collective efforts of urban planners, architects, designers, and sustainability experts, the result is the Elounda Hills project, a splendid example of luxurious living in the 21st century. Set on a picturesque hill with panoramic views of the bay, the project spans an area of 90 hectares. At its heart lies a 5-star hotel with 152 keys – managed by 1Hotels Group, along with branded residences. It also includes a marina with 64 berths, a seaside promenade, two beach clubs, botanical gardens, and its own amphitheater for live performances and movie nights. The Elounda Hills project has been granted the status of "strategic investment" with a "special zoning plan" by the Greek government.
INTRODUCING THE MIRABELLO VILLAS COLLECTION:
Privacy: 22 private family villas are spread out in a natural amphitheater on the beautiful northeastern coast of Crete. Each villa is carefully designed to offer incredible views of the Aegean Sea.
Space and Amenities: The villas offer from 271 to 580 m² of space, terraces, and gardens up to 2,000 m², private infinity pools averaging 70 m², parking with charging for electric vehicles, 24-hour management services, pet-friendly accommodations, and construction according to leading global Breeam and Leed standards.
Harmony With the Environment: The villas are built to blend into the landscape rather than dominate it. Each villa is designed so that the beautiful backdrop of the Elounda Hills natural amphitheater is the focal point.
Modern Interior: The contemporary and holistic interior design incorporates elements of the outdoor space through the use of natural materials, ergonomic furniture, and lush greenery. The open layout allows for countless possibilities - from hidden corners for reading and resting (and working when necessary) to beautiful spaces for gathering and entertaining.
Spacious Terraces: The outdoor area of the villa includes large, landscaped terraces ideal for family and friends gatherings and outdoor dinners. Throughout all the spaces, materials of the highest class, indigenous details, and the finest finishes stand out.
Private Base: Each villa is located on a large plot surrounded by a professionally landscaped garden with various indigenous plants and flowers, specially selected for diversity, color, and shade during the long summer months.
Homeowner Privileges: Mirabello Villa owners will have an exclusive Elounda Hills loyalty card, which enti- tles them to discounts of up to 15% on selected in-resort services. The homeowner benefits package also offers special rates and upgrades across the global network of 1Hotels, as well as residential signing privileges and direct billing services in Elounda Hills, pre-arrival kitchen and pantry stocking, 24hour concierge, valet parking and porter services. Owners can also take advantage of a multitude of other resort services including at-home dining, catering for meetings and events, IT support, shopping with a personal assistant, in-home spa treatments by Bamford, workout training and babysitting services. For those that desire them, there are also full management options designed for effortless ownership, including property maintenance and housekeeping.

The residence permit can be converted into citizenship under certain conditions after seven years.

The island of Crete is a Mediterranean jewel, the cradle of Mediterranean civilization, and the birthplace of Zeus. Situated south of the Greek mainland, Crete boasts a rich history, from prehistoric times and the Minoan civilization to its role in modern Greece. The capital city, Heraklion, is home to the famous Knossos Palace, providing insight into ancient Minoan culture. Today, with a highly developed infrastructure and excellent transport links, it stands proudly as the largest and most popular Greek island, welcoming around 5 million visitors a year, with 300 sunny days, a thousand kilometers of coastline, and friendly local inhabitants. With two international airports, Crete is an easily accessible destination that promises an unforgettable journey through time and culture.
