Description
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.
Whether you prefer spending your days beside your private swimming pool, enjoying the crystal-clear waters of the Cretan Sea, exploring the historic streets of Rethymno, or dining at a nearby seaside taverna, Blue Oyster Beach Villas offers the perfect combination of beachfront living, comfort, privacy, and convenience for an unforgettable holiday in Crete.

We had a brilliant time in the Blue Oyster Villas. Perfect for a holiday with friends, because you have your own house and you stay close together.
The beach is really close, you just walk 100 metres and you can enjoy your morning tea in one of the sunbeds. The sea is clear and the beach very clean. The house has everything you could ask for. The kids really enjoyed the table tennis in the basement. And since we likes it so much, we already booked it for next year! The staff is really nice and helpful, too! |

The filter of the pool was quite loud at the end of the season.

Good afternoon,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for choosing Blue Oyster Villas for your holiday! We’re truly delighted to hear that you and your friends enjoyed your stay, the beach nearby, and the amenities of the villa — especially the table tennis, which is always a favorite among our guests. It’s fantastic to know that you’ve already booked again for next year! We also appreciate your note regarding the pool filter noise. Your feedback is important, and we will make sure this is fully resolved before the next season. We look forward to welcoming you back for another great stay!

Everything was perfect, the location, the accomodation, the cleanliness, the facilities and the staff.
Everything you need is nearby and although we had a car you didn’t necessarily need one. Plenty of restaurants, shops and supermarkets in the area. Beach is well maintained and lovely little beach/snack bar. Couldn’t ask for more. Will definately recommend and rebook. The hotel next door is also worth checking out. We had a lovely breakfast one morning and dinner one evening. Top quality but very relaxed. 5 stars all round. |

You could provide some basic stuff (some detergent, washing cloth etc), as we had to buy absolutely everything, we did not find anything in the villa except toilet paper.

You could provide some basic stuff (some detergent, washing cloth etc), as we had to buy absolutely everything, we did not find anything in the villa except toilet paper.
Also, the host promised to visit with some travel info and he never did.. we managed, but this was not in line with the usual hospitality we were used to in Greece.. The door of the bedroom downstairs did not close (you should fix it) |
