Introducing Lynx Villa
Set in the authentic village of Perama, in one of Crete’s most celebrated food regions, Lynx Villa is designed for guests who wish to experience the island through comfort, connection, and a true sense of place. Part of Celestial Villas, a refined complex of three neighbouring yet independent villas, it offers the privacy of its own pool and outdoor spaces while belonging to a beautifully composed retreat setting. Here, days unfold with the gentle rhythm of Cretan living: slow breakfasts, sunlit swims, long BBQ lunches, children’s pool moments, relaxed evenings in the playroom, and easy discoveries through village tavernas, local flavours, and countryside routes. With five bedrooms, generous leisure spaces, and thoughtful family-friendly details, Lynx Villa welcomes families and loved ones to settle in, slow down, and feel at home in Crete.
External Living : The outdoor world of Lynx Villa is composed of 820m2 outdoor land, for Mediterranean living, where poolside moments, shaded dining, and family ease define the rhythm of each day. The villa features its own infinity swimming pool, which can be heated upon request for an additional fee, creating a graceful setting for refreshing swims and unhurried lounging. A children’s pool adds a playful touch for younger guests, allowing families to enjoy the outdoors with comfort and ease. The outdoor kitchen with BBQ (Gas) invites long Cretan meals, while the picnic area offers a softer, more informal setting for slow afternoons, simple pleasures, and time together beneath the open sky.
