About this property
Ellan Luxury Living, By Idealstay Experience
Ellan Luxury Living – Chic Retreat in the Heart of Ammoudara
Welcome to Ellan Luxury Living, your elegant seaside escape located in the popular resort area of Ammoudara, just a short drive from the center of Heraklion. Inspired by the Greek word Έλα ("come") and Hellas, our apartment invites you to experience the warmth, charm, and laid-back lifestyle of Crete in a stylish, thoughtfully designed space.
Situated on the first floor of a traditional building (accessible by stairs only), this newly renovated apartment combines comfort, natural textures, and modern aesthetics. Perfect for couples, friends, or small families (up to 4 guests), it offers a boutique hotel experience with the privacy and flexibility of a home.
The peaceful bedroom features a queen-size anatomical mattress, cozy linens, and blackout curtains — ensuring restful nights. The living area is bright and welcoming, with a comfortable sofa bed (also queen-size), a smart TV, ambient lighting, and neutral, earthy tones that reflect the island's serene atmosphere. Enjoy meals at the glass dining table for four, and take advantage of the fully equipped kitchen — complete with stovetop, oven, fridge, microwave, Nespresso machine, kettle, and kitchenware.
The bathroom offers a walk-in shower, fresh towels, quality toiletries, and a hairdryer. A small balcony provides the ideal spot for morning coffee or evening relaxation with views of the quiet neighborhood.
Throughout the apartment, design elements such as handcrafted lighting, a bold floral headboard, and warm natural finishes create a harmonious and elegant feel. You’ll enjoy high-speed Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a ceiling fan, and premium linens and towels. A washing machine is available in the building for your convenience, and we are always happy to assist with recommendations and local tips.
Just a 5-minute walk from the beach, Ellan Luxury Living places you in the heart of Ammoudara, one of Heraklion’s most beloved coastal areas. Known for its long sandy beach, beach bars, and relaxed atmosphere, Ammoudara offers everything from water sports to sunset cocktails. You’ll also find cafés, restaurants, shops, bakeries, a cinema, and even a local bus stop nearby — making it easy to reach Heraklion city center (just 10 minutes away), Knossos, or the airport.
Whether you're here to relax on the beach, explore the history of Crete, or enjoy local cuisine and nightlife, Ellan Luxury Living is your stylish base for unforgettable moments under the Cretan sun.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.
