Giannoulis Hotels & Resorts is celebrating the first full season of Giannoulis Ele Villas, two new neighbouring villas near Chania, Crete, with a tempting opening offer.
Giannoulis Ele Villas, which opened in late 2024, have been designed to blend in with the beauty of their natural surroundings and offer unobstructed views of the Cretan Sea and the Gulf of Chania. Ele Mare Villa is situated directly on the 3km beach of Rapaniana village, while Ele Sole Villa is just a stone’s throw from the beachline. Sole translates to “Sun”, and Mare to “Sea”.
The twin properties have a contemporary architectural design, created for travellers who seek elegant living, privacy and panoramic views. Each villa has a large veranda overlooking the sea, a 30sqm. private swimming pool, three bedrooms that can comfortably accommodate up to six guests, three bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, dining area, landscaped gardens and private sunbeds on the beach. There’s ample parking for three cars at each villa. Guests will start their stay with a welcome pack including wine and traditional Cretan treats. The villas are named after Eleftheria Giannoulis, daughter of the current CEO, Manolis Giannoulis.

The beautiful spa and wellness area is home to an indoor heated pool, sauna, hammam and jacuzzi, and offers a range of massage and beauty treatments. These facilities can be used by villa guests, but payable on use.
Ele Villas are located 22km west of Chania, the most picturesque town of Crete, about 35km away from Chania International Airport. Their geographical position is the ideal starting point for excursions to the world-famous beaches of Balos, Falasarna and Elafonisi, the numerous archaeological sites of Crete, the spectacular White Mountains, and the local taverns in the small villages hidden in the valleys surrounding the villas.
Ranging from family-friendly properties to sports & wellness-focused resorts, and boutique, adults-only retreats, Giannoulis Hotels & Resorts has four hotels near Chania and one near Ierapetra, as well as Ele Villas.
