The outdoor saltwater swimming pool and the lounge space are the spots where you can rustle up a cocktail or relax while gazing at the gorgeous sunset on the sun loungers and on the double day bed. Pretty close to the pool area, there is a dining table and a well-organized BBQ area for festive culinary nights under the starlight sky. The garden around the villa makes you feel that you are living in heaven. Finally, there is a secure parking area outside the villa for two cars, along with a free EV charger available.

Stayed in the Royal Bird Villa for a few night absolutely loved it! Great accommodations and great location for walking / food!

Erlend Riis Jahren – Kalyves Royal Villa
Erlend Riis Jahren – Kalyves Royal Villa November 2025

We stayed 7 days at Royal Bird Villa in Kalyves and couldn’t have been happier. Holiways communicated quickly and well both before and during our stay, and were flexible and helpful in arranging adjustments. A very professional rental company!

Erlend Riis – Kalyves Royal Villa October 2025

Vi hadde en fantastisk uke i denne villaen! Huset er stort, veldig fint og har en vakker utsikt. Bassengområdet var perfekt for late dager i sola, og vi hadde også stor glede av å lage middag på utegrillen om kvelden. Verten vår, Nicole, var kjempehyggelig og alltid rask til å svare om vi trengte eller lurte på noe. Holiways var også veldig fleksible, og vi fikk låne både seng, stol og flytevest til barn. Ekstra bonus var det at eieren kom innom med en nydelig hjemmelaget moussaka! Det er kort vei ned til sentrum av Kalyves, og selv om det er litt bratt var det ikke noe problem å gå med barnevogn. Vi var for det meste i villaen da selve byen er liten og ganske uinteressant. Det var også enkelt å få levert mat til villaen fra restaurantene i byen ved å bruke efood-appen. Alt i alt et topp opphold, og vi anbefaler alle som ønsker en rolig uke på Kreta å leie dette stedet! Tusen takk for oss!

This listing was perfect for our family group of 8. It was clean and even better in person than in pictures, and the elevator was also very helpful and convenient for some of my relatives who were not as mobile. There were also restaurants and a super market nearby. We would love to stay here again the next time we are back in the area.

We spent 8 days in Royal bird villa with family and friends. The villa has magical sea view, a fully equipped kitchen, a heated pool and a fitness center with a sauna. The owner of the villa greeted us personally and prepared an excellent Greek moussaka for dinner. Everything was great from the agency, cleaning, service, care. Highly recommended!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Royal Bird Villa during a blissful getaway, and let me tell you, it was an experience beyond compare! From the moment I set foot on the premises, I was swept away by the sheer luxury and beauty that surrounded me. First and foremost, let’s talk about the villa itself. Nestled atop a picturesque hill, the Royal Bird Villa offers breathtaking views of the sea that stretch out as far as the eye can see. Waking up to the sight of the sun rising over the tranquil waters was a dream come true, and I found myself mesmerized by the ever-changing hues of blue that painted the horizon. But the beauty of the Royal Bird Villa doesn’t stop at its stunning surroundings. The villa itself is a masterpiece of design and comfort. Every detail, from the elegant furnishings to the state-of-the-art amenities, has been carefully curated to provide guests with the ultimate in luxury living. The highlight, of course, is the private swimming pool, where I spent countless hours basking in the sun and taking refreshing dips to escape the heat. However, what truly sets the Royal Bird Villa apart is the exceptional hosting provided by the staff. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality that made me feel like royalty. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that my every need was met, whether it was arranging transportation, recommending local attractions, or simply ensuring that I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. In conclusion, my time at the Royal Bird Villa was nothing short of magical. From the luxurious accommodations to the impeccable service, every aspect of my stay exceeded my expectations. Whether you’re looking for a romantic retreat or a relaxing getaway with friends and family, I cannot recommend the Royal Bird Villa highly enough. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!

Memories for life

I was lucky to come across this property when it had recently been added to Booking.com. Since staying there I feel it is only right to come and leave a review to help tell others how amazing this villa is. I booked this villa to accommodate 8 of us which eventually became 9. It can fit everyone nicely while feeling like each room can have its own bit of privacy. Full bathrooms are available for each room as well as one downstairs in the basement/gym area. The views from the property & 3 coast facing balconies are simply amazing, let alone the view from the pool level. Each day I aimed to take advantage of the pool which is a perfect size and refreshing. There are enough sunbeds to have everyone outside at once while comfortably being to swim and then lounge in the sun. The driveway fits 2 x 5 seater cars and you have your own remote gated entry. The lounge/kitchen area of the villa is spacious and open plan with airy sliding doors for access to the outdoor eating area/bbq & pool. Vasilis the property manager communicates with you clearly, he let me know when to expect the cleaner + gardeners & he was also very helpful in providing details about the private chef the villa offers (This is an absolute must when staying here!). We used the chef for one of the nights & it was a lovely local husband and wife team who cooked us a delicious Crete style menu. I am not the best at writing reviews nor summarising everything but let me leave you with this, if you’re planning to stay on this part of the island, the villa is a must! Me & my friends left Crete with amazing memories that we won’t forget, this villa is definitely a big part of those memories.
Only downside is you must be aware of the neighbours (only one neighbour on the left), we did listen to a lot of music outside & found out we did receive a complaint however the neighbours never approached us! – the lack of complete isolation was only a minor inconvenience as you’re near amenities only a 2 minute drive away.

I can’t say enough about this beautiful villa. The property was spotless, the furnishings tasteful, and the amenities were perfect. We were travelling with family members, and each person had their own space when needed, but the communal areas housed us comfortably. The Holiways team was amazing. Quick responses, and everybody we met was eager to make our stay perfect. I would not hesitate to recommend this place and would love to return!
