You can't blame most tourists who prefer booking a room in a fancy resort instead of a rental home. Part of why they go to certain places is to immerse themselves in the luxury of it all. Take the
Greek Islands, for example. Over the years, these popular paradises have drawn in more and more people thanks to the luxury resorts that have set up shop. They're all well and good as far as accommodations go, but if you truly want to feel like the island is your home, you'd want to rent a luxury villa instead. Don't worry! These exquisite homes can rival any popular resort any day!
Muse Mansion in Platis Mykonos
It's safe to stay that this palatial Muse Mansion in
Mykonos is arguably better than any luxury resort on the island. For one thing, renting this vacation villa lets you enjoy the space on your own. All of these amazing 2,500 square meters are for you, from the luxurious private pool to the spacious nine bedrooms. The sun beds placed in between the pools look straight out of a five-star hotel, achieving the right first-class ambiance that you'd expect in Mykonos. As for what's inside, the villa boasts an expansive dining area, an in-house bar, a flat-screen TV, and two separate chic living areas.
Panorama Grand Villa in Mykonos
This Panorama Grand Villa looks exactly like the kind of high-quality accommodations you'd expect in a luxury resort on a Greek Island. Especially if it's a
party island like Mykonos. The rustic appeal with a clean and contemporary finish can rival any five-star establishment on the island, but what makes this villa better is that you have the private pool all to yourself. You don't have to share it and the estate's many other fine amenities with other guests. You can enjoy the sunny deck, the chic sun beds, and more here. What's not to love?
Villa Estilo in Mykonos
Don't you think this
luxury villa in Mykonos is so chic? Villa Estilo combines the rural charms of the Greek Island with the modern luxury that Mykonos is known for. The living, with its pristine white finish and flat-screen TV, looks straight out of a luxury resort. You can expect a place this high-class to from such expensive accommodations. The same goes for its outdoor lounge by the pool. You'd expect such comfy areas in an upscale coastal hotel in the Mediterranean. And of course, you can't forget about the pool too! The bean-shaped amenity lined with sun beds is such a luxurious touch!
Villa Glafki in Santorini
What makes this exquisite Villa Glafki in
Santorini luxurious enough to rival a resort is its location and amenities. The villa is at the heart of town, the exact place you'd expect to find many humble and high-class hotels on the island. Typically, rental villas among the Greek Islands are by the coast. This one, however, is within the town and it doesn't ruin its amazing amenities. Take, for instance, the private pool. The cave-like swimming hole evokes an exotic, nature-like magic that you won't find anywhere else. This makes the villa perfect for newlyweds to rent for their honeymoon!
Elounda Spa Villa Crete in Crete
This Elounda Spa Villa in
Crete doesn't just rival a luxury resort, but a luxury spa too! Let's start with the villa. The estate is so clean and pristine, boasting a spacious living room, a well-equipped kitchen, and a big private pool. Even the bedrooms look like suites in a five-star hotel, each finer than the next. And then there's the indoor pool, which is more technically a huge jacuzzi. This is the kind of amenity you'd expect in a popular spa in a big city. The fact that it's in a
rental villa in Greece makes it even more amazing!
Villa Oneiro in Crete
Villa Oneiro in Crete doesn't just rival a luxury resort, it can practically dominate it. Have you ever seen a more elegant and refined home? Five-star hotels barely achieve such luxury, even if they're famous! All the amenities in the estate are first-class, from the TV in the living room to the well-equipped kitchen with state-of-the-art appliances. You can't ignore that private infinity pool too! Since it extends to the edge of the hilltop plain where the villa is perched, the end of the pool looks over the rest of the island. You won't find a better view than this!
Azzuro Villa in Hersonissos
Also on the Island is this fine Azzuro Villa in Hersonissos, a popular northern
town in Crete. Even though it only has two bedrooms, it's not lacking in any size or space. On the contrary, the estate also has a private pool line with sun beds, an outdoor deck that's perfect for hanging out, and even a relaxing hammock. Since it's a private property you can rent, you can host pool parties here, something you can't do with most luxury resorts in Crete and other Greek Islands. What more could you ask for?
Instead of booking a room in a luxury resort on the Greek Islands, why not rent an entire vacation villa instead? This way, you can enjoy the space all on your own and some even come with private pools and seaside views too!
