we love...

We love Arbora Olea for its quiet, sun-drenched vibe. Three sleek villas tucked into a private olive grove, where island tradition meets modern ease. Perfect for a wedding that’s intimate, effortlessly stylish, and utterly unpretentious — the kind of day that feels like it was made just for you.

What's so special about Arbora Olea Luxury Resorts?

Arbora Olea Luxury Villas | A Private Luxury Wedding Estate in Crete

Tucked away in a sea of olive groves, Arbora Olea Luxury Villas is where rustic Cretan charm collides with barefoot luxury. Situated in Skaleta, Rethymno – this is the kind of place that was made for destination weddings: vows beneath the trees, champagne by the pool, and feasts that roll late into the night under a blanket of stars. The estate can accommodate up to 200 guests, with 30 guests able to stay on site.

The three villas — identical, sleek, and set against sweeping views — make the perfect private estate for your wedding party. Each villa boasts infinity pools, gardens, and all the space you need to turn a celebration into a full wedding weekend. Think welcome dinners, poolside brunches, and nights spent dancing under fairy lights strung through the groves.

Here, you’re not just booking a venue; you’re creating your own private Cretan hideaway for you and all your loved ones to celebrate together. With modern comforts wrapped in timeless Mediterranean beauty, Arbora Olea sets the scene for a wedding that feels intimate, stylish, and completely unforgettable.

Nearest Airports: Heraklion International Airport N. Kazantzakis (HER) 58 min (70.2 km) and Chania International Airport Ioannis Daskalogiannis (CHQ) just 1 hr 16 min (80.2 km) away.
