Villa Lalianda Sandy Beach Villas

The location is amazing, and it's a beautiful place with a private beach. I was only bothered by how deep the pool was 🏊‍♂️.

That private pool was amazing, and the sauna was just right for a couple. We stayed four nights and still wanted more. They welcomed us with a much appreciated pack and had basically everything we needed. Such a stunning place, and I'd happily book again!

The main frustration was the outdoor layout. Three of the four terraces looked onto the road, and the fourth was almost impossible to get to. A bit more thought when it was designed could have added a lot. We stayed in the villa closest to the road, which I guess was the cheapest on the estate, so perhaps you get what you pay for. Inside, the house was built to a high standard, with plenty of space, air conditioning, a gas grill, table tennis, a pool, and a jacuzzi. The beach was an easy walk away, and the waves were just right for our three kids, aged 4, 7, and 9, to enjoy swimming. We could only infer that sea turtles had laid eggs at night from the protective cages that gradually appeared during our stay. We were there in the first half of June, with no moon.

You'll definitely need a car. The supermarket in Polis is about five minutes away by car. The private beach isn't up to much, as it's very stony. We had villa number 1, with a good pool and a great hot tub.
