Villa Octo

“Okto” (8) things that will definitely capture your senses: the pristine scenery, the deep blue waters, the warmth of the sun, the sound of the sea, the scent of the herbs, the idyllic sunsets, the luxury through the simplicity and the precious isolation.

Villa Octo is inspired by the Minoan Octopus, establishing the power & knowledge of the ancient Cretans in the Mediterranean Sea. In addition, “octo”, in Greek, is the number 8, linking to spiritual perceptions; the five senses, the power of thought, the power of self-awareness & the subconscious. A symbol mirrors the serenity of the location and the balanced setting of the villa. Villa Octo provides a carefree, luxurious environment for relaxation and recreation; that is the definition of paradise.

An earthy heaven for families or couples; for those who seek a hidden luxury haven far away from the hustle of daily life. Villa Octo is an eco-friendly residence blending in harmony elegance with minimalism, offering a unique spiritual experience. An artful blend of contemporary and traditional styles creates a tasteful ambience; the selectively chosen furnishings, the opulent interiors and the lush exteriors, the charming garden, and the extraordinary swimming pool emphasize the power and beauty of the endless sea.
