Villa Aura

Wake up and keep on curling up on your bed while the morning “aura” fills the room, and the sea invites you for a rejuvenating dive!

Aura (Αύρα/Breeze), in Greek Mythology, was the Goddess of breeze and morning mist. Mornings in Villa Aura seem to be divine; the breeze brushes your body while the morning mist fills up your soul in front of this verdant landscape! Villa Aura is a slow-living haven far away from the hustle of daily life that focuses on the natural landscape and the alluring sea view! Let the soothing ambience of this natural paradise transport you to a world of pure bliss and relaxation!

Finikidia beach – Agios Pavlos -Southern coast of Rethymno is the location of Villa Aura, a few steps away from a pristine beach with an invigorating landscape strongly combined with the elements of nature. In the same area are Villa Iris, Villa Tyche, Villa Sun, Villa Hebe, Villa Terra, and Villa Ourania. The villa’s complex is adults-only and includes a reception, a rejuvenating area (for yoga lessons), and a parking area (for two cars on each villa). So, put your flip-flops on and off you go to Finikidia Beach for a refreshing dive in the crystal-clear water or some sit-back time in the snuggling gazebos.

Inside the villa

Villa Aura was designed with the utmost care to live slowly and enjoy every little precious detail of life – this is the real meaning of slow living! The vibrant and sustainable structure offers closeness to nature through its refreshing, simple forms and minimalist luxury approach; contact with nature is the engine of everything inside and outside. The villa is a single-story haven, without inside and outside stairs, and can easily accommodate 2-4 adults.

Description:

The basic concept behind its design stemmed from the idea of visually connecting the interior with the exterior and, in general, with the “Mother Earth”. Villa Aura has three spaces: the main bedroom, kitchen and a multi-tasking living room. The modern kitchen without facade doors is in the middle and boasts all the major appliances necessary to whip up a delicious meal inspired by this pristine scenery. The kitchen is also connected with the other two spaces through inner doors. The bright living room with hand-picked furniture and a snuggling corner sofa can be transformed into an additional private bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and an unstoppable view. The main bedroom is designed to provide you with an ultimate sleeping experience; the natural materials blend in harmony with the modern details, creating a private, relaxing sanctuary. Both bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms and are equipped with CocoMat®, natural full latex anatomic mattresses and beddings. Additionally, both bedrooms have wide sliding doors wall-to-wall connecting directly with the outdoor area, giving the illusion of living in nature.

Bedroom 1: double bed (180×200), en-suite bathroom, direct access to the pool area

Bedroom 2: two single beds (90×200) (can convert to double), en-suite bathroom, direct access to the pool area

 Outside Area

Villa Aura offers spectacular sea views, rugged landscapes, and the ultimate privacy. The villa’s exterior consists of an al fresco dining area, an outdoor living room and an elongated swimming pool (27m², 3 x 9 m) extending almost the entire length of the veranda. As the sun sets, unwind and revel in the tranquillity of your surroundings. Aura is not just a villa; it is an embodiment of luxury, sophistication, and serenity.

Sustainability

Villa Aura has a unique architecture that maintains the quality of the natural landscape by fully following bioclimatic design principles and almost zero energy consumption. Villa Aura is designed in a way that respects natural resources by optimising energy and water use: the swimming pool uses salt water through electrolysis, water supply and irrigation from drilling, the automatic watering system, the bioclimatic building with energy-saving windows, thermal energy is “trapped” indoors, and is retained for the rest of the day due to the “shell” that has been clad on all the external walls, as well the gardens of topical flora.

Digital Nomads

Villa Aura is ideal for those seeking to work away on vacation mood. The high-speed internet at 100/20 Mbps (download/upload) is all over the villa, and we can provide you with office equipment on request (e.g. computer screens, connection cables, etc.). Reap the benefits of staying in Villa Aura and the tedious work quickly can transform into pleasure.
