Introducing Sea-esta Beach House Imagine waking to the gentle call of gulls and uninterrupted views across the crystalline waters of Bali Bay. Sea-esta Beach House offers a rare privilege — to reside quite literally at the water’s edge, where sea-salted air drifts through open doors and the horizon becomes part of your everyday living. Designed for families and gatherings of friends, the residence unfolds across two thoughtfully arranged floors. Mornings begin beneath crisp linens, gazing out toward the endless blue. Days are spent swimming just steps from your door, canoeing along the coastline, or strolling into the village centre for leisurely seaside lunches. Afternoons invite quiet moments — a book on the sun terrace, music flowing softly from the Marshall speaker, or shared conversations in the open-plan living space. As sunset casts golden reflections across the bay, evenings transition into al fresco suppers by the gas BBQ, glasses gently clinking under a canopy of stars.

*********************************************************************************** Location Overview - Discover Bali Village
TO SEE: Once a quaint fishing village, Bali has evolved into a charming coastal destination, perched above its small harbour and embraced by both sea and mountains. The village offers a harmonious blend of natural beauty and relaxed island life, with calm, clear waters and sheltered sandy coves ideal for families. Scenic coastal walks, rugged rock formations, and nearby caves provide endless opportunities for exploration, while daily boat excursions from the harbour allow guests to admire Crete’s striking northern coastline.
TO DINE: Bali is celebrated for its vibrant culinary scene, from traditional seaside tavernas and family-run cafés to contemporary restaurants serving fresh seafood, locally sourced olive oil, and seasonal Cretan specialties. Guests can enjoy relaxed breakfasts, casual lunches, or romantic dinners overlooking the harbour, while village bakeries, wine bars, and cafés add authentic local flavor to every visit.
TO EXPLORE: The surrounding region invites discovery at every turn. Four sandy, sheltered beaches offer safe swimming and water sports, while inland drives reveal traditional villages, historic monasteries, and olive groves. Regular bus services connect Bali with Heraklion and Rethymno, while Rethymno Old Town, with its Venetian architecture and atmospheric harbour, is just a short drive away. Bali’s location makes it a perfect base for exploring both central and western Crete while returning each day to the calm rhythm of the seaside.
