Location

We are located in Plaka on the east of Crete, an hour’s drive away from Heraklion airport and a 20-minute drive away from the town of Elounda. The villa is across the road from Plaka beach. From the beach you can see Spinalonga island in the distance - a small fortress island with a rich history. Plaka offers a wealth of fitness, restaurant options and day trip opportunities.

Accommodation

The villa includes four houses laid out around a communal gym. Each house is laid out on two levels, with a double or twin bedroom, a bathroom and a private terrace on each level, as well as a lounge with open plan kitchen on the ground floor. The gym is right outside your front door and you can train there around-the-clock. All houses have free and reliable wi-fi.

Gym & Training

When you’re ready to take a break from work, our gym is yours to use. Here you will find all you need to carry on with your training while away from home:

  • A 7.2m Eleiko freestanding rig with thirteen pull-up spaces (seven muscle-up spaces)  and six squat stations;
  • Eleiko Sport barbells and plates for up to 15 people;
  • Functional fitness equipment for up to 15 people including dumbbells, kettlebells, sandbags, medicine balls, jump ropes, among others;
  • Concept2 Model D rowing machines;
  • Yoga mats and mobility tools;
  • 6 Paddle boards.

For adventures a little further afield you can paddle to Spinalonga island in 10-15 minutes. Swimming is a round-the-clock option for you, particularly first thing in the morning when the sea is still. There are also two trails for you to walk or run up the mountain. Please note - the best times to train on land are in the morning and late afternoon when the sun isn't directly above you!

Amazing experience with the best hosts. Kayla and Stella put so much thought and heart into planning this retreat and making sure we had time for adventure and relaxation. Everything from airport pick up to dinners, beach days, outings, workouts, and sunrises went smoothly and was beyond my expectations. The villas in Crete feel like home and I will forever remember my time here.

It was such a relaxing, fun week. The food was absolutely fantastic, as were the drinks. The accommodations were very comfortable and our needs were met. There is so much to do on your own or with a group and it is very easy to navigate around the island. So glad I went, highly recommend!
