Elle Villa

Electra Retreat in Santa Maria quietly overlooks the sea like a modern Cycladic residence. The property combines two sister villas accommodating up to twenty guests, each one defined by crisp lines, pale whites, and wide glass that softly pulls the horizon inside.

With ten double bedrooms, two infinity pools, and thoughtfully layered living areas, it suits families and groups of friends who seek a space as intentional as it is welcoming. Near enough to Naoussa for its lively moments when wanted, yet the atmosphere at home remains peaceful and natural.

Outdoors

Outdoors, the layout forms two separate terraces instead of one unbroken space, giving the outdoor areas a sense of near-privacy even when shared. Each villa features its own infinity pool with the sea as backdrop, edged by stone details and carefully placed planting. Sun loungers are grouped in pairs or small sets, allowing both togetherness and solitary pauses. Shaded dining spots lie near the indoor areas, charcoal barbecues close at hand, and outdoor speakers add a subtle musical layer above the sound of water whenever a touch more ambiance feels right.

Indoors

Inside, the same understated elegance continues. Living rooms face the view directly and open onto the pool decks through broad glass doors, fireplaces bringing warmth on cooler nights. Kitchens are prepared for daily meals or for a chef to work quietly in the background. Ten double bedrooms are spread across three levels in each villa, most with ensuite bathrooms and all finished with a calm, restful simplicity. Playrooms, staff rooms, and laundry spaces round out the practical, considered arrangement.

Good to Know

Much of Electra Retreat’s appeal lies in how little effort it requires to enjoy. The path to Santa Maria beach is short — around fifty metres — making a swim feel like an easy extension of the morning rather than a separate plan. Naoussa sits just over six kilometres away, giving easy access to the rest of the island for day trips, boat excursions, or a sunset drive. Whatever the days bring, guests return each time to the same calm, familiar place that soon begins to feel like home.
