Blue oyster Beachfront villa, No car needed 2
Blue Oyster Beach Villas is an exclusive beachfront complex of six individual villas, ideally located directly on the beautiful sandy beach of Platanes, just 5 km east of Rethymno town. Combining the comfort and privacy of independent villas with the privilege of a truly beachfront location, the complex offers an ideal setting for a memorable holiday in Crete. Each villa features three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a private 25 m² swimming pool, comfortable indoor and outdoor living areas, and direct access to the beach. With restaurants, cafés, supermarkets, shops, and numerous local amenities within easy walking distance, guests can enjoy a relaxing and convenient holiday without the need for a car.
Each villa is thoughtfully arranged over three levels, connected by an internal marble staircase, with one bedroom and one bathroom on each level. This practical layout provides an excellent balance between shared living spaces and personal privacy, making the villas particularly suitable for families, couples travelling together, and groups of friends.
Upon entering the villa on the ground floor, guests are welcomed into a bright and comfortable open-plan living space. To the left is the inviting lounge area, perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach, while to the right is the fully equipped kitchen with its dining area, providing everything needed for preparing and enjoying meals. Large French doors open directly onto the furnished outdoor terrace, allowing natural light to fill the interior and creating a pleasant connection between indoor and outdoor living. The ground floor also features the first bedroom, furnished with two single beds, along with a separate bathroom equipped with a shower and WC.
An elegant internal marble staircase leads to the upper floor, where guests will find the second bedroom, featuring two single beds and a private en-suite bathroom with a shower and WC. This bedroom also benefits from access to a lovely furnished veranda overlooking the beautiful Cretan Sea. With comfortable outdoor furniture and refreshing sea breezes, the veranda is a wonderful place to enjoy a morning coffee, read a book, or simply admire the coastal surroundings and peaceful Mediterranean atmosphere.
The same internal staircase connects the ground floor with the lower level of the villa, offering additional accommodation and recreational facilities. This level features the third bedroom, furnished with two single beds, as well as a separate bathroom with a shower and WC. Guests can also enjoy a spacious open-plan recreational area equipped with a table tennis table and a mini gym, providing opportunities for entertainment and light exercise without leaving the villa. The lower level offers additional privacy and independence, particularly convenient for families or groups travelling together.
All three bedrooms are individually air-conditioned and equipped with modern flat-screen televisions, ensuring a comfortable and pleasant stay. Each bedroom features two single beds that can be converted into a double bed with the addition of a suitable mattress topper, allowing flexible sleeping arrangements according to guests' preferences. With three bedrooms and three bathrooms distributed across three interconnected levels, each villa comfortably accommodates up to six guests.
The outdoor areas have been carefully designed to make the most of Crete's wonderful Mediterranean climate and the exceptional beachfront setting. Stepping through the French doors from the living area, guests reach a welcoming private terrace furnished with comfortable outdoor seating and a dining table. A shaded pergola provides the perfect setting for leisurely breakfasts, family lunches, or relaxed evening meals outdoors. The highlight of the outdoor space is the private 25 m² swimming pool, surrounded by a sunbathing area with comfortable sun loungers and umbrellas. Whether enjoying a refreshing morning swim, relaxing beside the pool, or spending quality time with loved ones, guests can enjoy the freedom and privacy of their own outdoor retreat, with the beautiful sandy beach just a few steps away.
Blue Oyster Beach Villas consists of six independent three-bedroom villas, each offering its own private swimming pool, furnished outdoor areas, and comfortable accommodation across three levels. The layout of the complex combines the convenience of staying close to family and friends with the independence of having a separate villa. This makes the property an excellent choice not only for individual families and small groups but also for larger families or groups of friends wishing to spend their holidays together while maintaining their own private living spaces.
Platanes is one of the most popular seaside holiday destinations on the northern coast of Crete, located approximately 5 km east of the charming town of Rethymno. Known for its long, sandy, well-organized beach and welcoming holiday atmosphere, the area offers an excellent combination of relaxation, entertainment, and convenience. The beach stretches along the beautiful Cretan coastline, providing opportunities for swimming, sunbathing, and various seasonal water activities. Within walking distance of the villas, guests will find a wide selection of traditional Greek tavernas, international restaurants, cafés, beach bars, supermarkets, bakeries, shops, pharmacies, ATMs, and other useful services, making it easy to enjoy a carefree holiday without relying on a car.
For guests wishing to explore further, the historic town of Rethymno is only a short drive away. Rethymno is renowned for its picturesque Venetian Old Town, narrow cobblestone streets, traditional architecture, charming Venetian Harbour, and impressive Fortezza Fortress. Visitors can discover local shops, atmospheric restaurants, waterfront cafés, museums, and a vibrant nightlife scene, all within a town that beautifully combines Cretan traditions with Venetian and Ottoman influences. Platanes also provides a convenient starting point for exploring the wider region, including traditional mountain villages, scenic countryside, historic monasteries, and some of Crete's most beautiful beaches.

Beautiful Villa!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Blue Oyster! The villa was exceptionally clean and well appointed. Maria and Georgios were most welcoming! The villa is right on the beach and the pool is just lovely. The location is great it is close to many restaurants and supermarkets. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and if at all possible will come and stay again. Just lovely!
Maybe newer and more bath towels. However, when asked Maria did provide us with more towels.

Blue Oyster Beach Villa - Home from Home
Beautiful villa, within stones throw of the beach.
The staff we're extremely polite and friendly, always ready to assist in anyway they could.
The villa itself was perfect, with being a family of 4, we were able to have a floor each.
Cleaning service was available everyday if required.
Pool perfect size for cooling off during the heat of the day.
A few minor repairs required but nothing of any importance.
Option of a later checkout would have been a nice touch as having a late flight home meant no where to freshen up before heading to the airport.

Excellent accommodation in a brilliant location
Great location, everyone involved with the accommodation make sure you have everything you need and are so friendly. Accommodation is superb
Access to the villa's is very tight if you are driving. The TV reception is fairly poor, in that there are no English channels available
Renting the property via the website was straight forward. Any query was answered promptly. The accommodation was lovely and cleaned daily, with a great location for both beach and restaurants. A problem with a lock was fixed quickly and all staff were friendly and courteous. We booked this holiday to celebrate our daughters 18th birthday and we certainly weren't disappointed, cant believe it's over, we will hopefully return soon.
This was an Amazing accommodation. There were Lovely views, Very friendly and welcoming staff, Excellent service, Perfectly working facilities. Nice town and beach and a Great pool. My family and I are very happy to have stayed here on our holiday.

Top Abdresse für einen erholsamen Urlaib.
Objekt absolut empfehlenswert. Lage und Ausstattung lassen keine Wünsche offen. Relativ zentral und doch ruhig, das immer präsente Meeresrauschen ließ keinen Verkehrslärm durchkommen.
Wir haben die großzügige Raumaufteilung und die Ruhe im genossen.
Auf Grund der mitgelieferten GPS-Koordinaten war es für das Navi auch kein Problem die doch recht enge und unscheinbare Zufahrt zu finden.
Das Personal war stes freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Fantastic- A real Cretian gem!
My three friends and I had a fantastic week away here! Such a beautiful and picturesque place. Everything nearby that you could possibly need. Fantastic views and a stones throw from the clean and peaceful beach. We cooked at home most days and made the most of the bbq but did dine out on a few occasions-a huge choice of places and menus. Can highly reccomend the local greek cuisine. Daily maid service was a pleasant surprise and were so friendly and polite, as was Georgia who made sure our stay was as stress free as possible. We will certainly be back again!
