Youphoria Villas Hotel

We were very privileged to be able to spend some time at the Youphoria villas right on the beach again this year. Superbly elegant & very modern these 5* villas are the height of luxury & very comfortable. Plenty of sun beds by the infinity pool & comfy sofas next to the outside eating area which is shaded. There is a lovely taverna just a couple of minutes along the beach — the servings are huge & very delicious.

An executive with very little time, holidays are really a key moment of the year for me. Youphoria villes are one of the best holiday concept I have experimenting. Very easily reachable by the highway from Heraklion, the villas are “lost” in the peacefull olive tree hills of the cretes countryside near Kissamos. A perfect location to relax in the sun with an amazing view. While a bit remote, the villas are 6-7 minutes drive from the next town Kissamos and 2 minutes drive to the nearest 7/11 and bakerie. The villas are really great with the latest modern eletric appliance, comfort, and a great swimming pool. Even the internet is pretty fast and will let you enjoy netflix nights or keeping and eye on business if needed without stressing. We were 2 couples of friends this time (second time in less than one year! since we find the location so relaxing). But I should not forget the brilliant hosting team : Eleni, Vassilis… that will really make extra efforts to help you enjoy your stay : great recommandations for the best local restaurants, beaches or to help you book horse riding. The villas are not providing new (extra) services such as massages (really good), cooking by your personal chef (amazing food but be ready to eat plenty), … I can only recommend Youphoria as one of the best stay for demanding travellers that want the best of amenities, a warm welcome and total relaxation away from busy cities or tourist crowded streets.

I stayed with my Girlfriend for a week in May. We knew what we were coming to was going to be something special but it was so much more than we expected. They have a kitchen service which is currently run by Andrea. On our arrival we were soon greeted by him with hand made lemonade with a side of segmented oranges and dusted strawberries. His cooking was so good I asked him to make an engagement dinner for us. It was a modern take on Cretan traditional food which we both …enjoyed very much. We were also served an excellent breakfast like I've never had before with photo worthy presentation and all made with local produce. Both meals had been served on the terrace overlooking Kisamos Bay. The loungers get the sun all day and to cool down you have an infinity pool with a great view of the Bay. The kitchen is fully fitted and kitted with the latest utensils, Dolce Gusto coffee machines, touch sensitive cooking on the hob and oven and any crockery or cutlery you may need. The barbeque is a top of the range Weber Kettle type with lump coal and utensils. It's a short taxi ride to some very good fish tavernas and bars. One bar in particular is Babel on the shore front of Kisamos. They have an excellent table service and cocktail barman. I could go on and on about the Villa Anassa and its staff. I enjoyed its character and didn't want to leave. But, we will return… I'm missing it already. Oh and my girlfriend said "yes" :)

Absolutely superb accommodation with huge attention to the finest details. I celebrated a wonderful birthday last weekend in Villa Charisma. Eleni, who manages the villa complex was extremely kind, informative and welcoming. The owners have created a supreme quality villa complex which is very impressive. We will most definitely return to Youphoria Villas in the future. Greetings and congratulations on such a great contribution to Cretan tourism.

Beautiful views, quiet area, small towns are local, the beach the villa overlooks is gorgeous…

Stayed here in September 2016 and all of the individual villas are amazing, it's the 2nd time I have stayed at youphoria now and it gets better and better, very useful manager now placed on site who is invisible until you need him and then nothing is too much trouble, the owners of this very special group of villas take a close interest in making sure guests are delighted and really make a point of attending to details to make everything that little bit special. Very short distance to balos bay which is paradise, elofonissi with its pink sand, perfectly position for an easy drive to the south of the island from this location, you can be in palechora in less than an hour and half an hour will see you in beautiful chania harbour. One of the best places I have stayed and would give it 6 stars if I could!

We stayed at Vila Oneiro in August 2016. The owner and the staff were extremely helpful and went above and beyond to ensure all our requests were accommodated. The facilities at the Vila exceeded our expectations, all the rooms were spacious and very well furnished. The outside space with its terraces, balconies and swimming pool was a delightful place to enjoy Cretan sunshine and alfresco dining. In addition the Vila has stunning views over the Kissamos bay, making it even a better experience than the famous Santorini island. The electric gate and large gardens ensured that you enjoyed complete privacy and all time. Possible one of the best Villas we have stayed in and we definitely be recommending it!

We stayed in the Oneiro Villa for a week in June, and it was brilliant. Overlooking the bay of Kissamos it has perfect views. The accommodation is second to none and with the benefit of our own infinity pool we felt we were in our own little piece of Heaven. Just amazing.
