Coastal Weddings & Private Celebrations
Extraordinary coastal villas and private estates where meaningful gatherings unfold beside the sea.
Celebrations Shaped by Place
Some celebrations are remembered not only because of the occasion itself, but because of the setting in which they unfold.
Private coastal villas and estates offer a different approach to weddings, family gatherings, retreats, and milestone occasions. With space to stay together, beautiful surroundings, and a slower rhythm shaped by the sea, they create the opportunity for meaningful experiences that extend well beyond a single day.
From intimate ceremonies and multi-generational gatherings to longer stays with family and friends, CVAY presents a carefully curated collection of coastal properties where people can come together naturally in extraordinary settings

Gatherings That Feel Personal
Some celebrations are shaped as much by the setting as by the occasion itself. Along quieter coastlines and private estates, weddings, family gatherings, retreats, and milestone moments unfold differently — with more space, more privacy, and a stronger connection to the landscape surrounding them.
CVAY presents a carefully curated collection of coastal villas and estates designed not as event venues, but as places where people naturally come together beside the sea.
Long outdoor dinners, slower mornings, intimate ceremonies, multi-generational stays, and shared experiences become part of the atmosphere itself.
Intimate Weddings by the Coast
Private coastal estates offer a more personal alternative to traditional wedding venues. Rather than structured hotel environments or large-scale resorts, these settings allow celebrations to unfold naturally across terraces, gardens, beaches, chapels, and outdoor dining spaces overlooking the sea.
The experience becomes less about production and more about atmosphere — time spent together, exceptional settings, meaningful moments, and the feeling of sharing an extraordinary place with the people closest to you.
Properties such as Beach House Arvi Estate combine large-group accommodation, private coastal living, and ceremony spaces in one seamless setting beside the Mediterranean.
Family Gatherings & Multi-Generational Stays
Many of the most memorable coastal stays are not built around formal events at all, but around the opportunity to bring people together for longer periods of time.
Private villas and estates allow families and groups of friends to share meals outdoors, move naturally between indoor and outdoor spaces, and experience the coastline at a slower and more meaningful rhythm.
For milestone birthdays, anniversaries, reunions, or extended summer stays, these properties create the kind of atmosphere where connection happens effortlessly.
Retreats Designed Around the Sea
The quieter rhythm of coastal living also creates an ideal setting for retreats focused on wellbeing, creativity, food, movement, or rest.
Large outdoor spaces, sea-facing terraces, private accommodation layouts, and natural surroundings allow guests to disconnect from routine and reconnect more fully with the landscape around them.
Whether centered around wellness, culinary experiences, slower travel, or simply time beside the water, these stays offer a calmer and more grounded way to gather.
Featured Coastal Estate
Beach House Arvi Estate
Located along Crete’s quieter southern coastline, Beach House Arvi Estate combines expansive beachfront living, a private chapel overlooking the sea, large-group accommodation, and curated local experiences within one extraordinary coastal setting.
The estate is particularly suited to intimate weddings, retreats, multi-generational gatherings, and longer celebrations shaped by outdoor living and connection to the Mediterranean landscape.
Celebrating Beside the Coast
The most memorable gatherings are rarely defined by scale alone. More often, they are remembered through atmosphere — long evenings outdoors, conversations beside the sea, shared meals, beautiful surroundings, and the feeling of spending meaningful time together in a place that encourages people to slow down.
CVAY continues to curate coastal villas and private estates where these experiences can unfold naturally, thoughtfully, and beautifully beside the water.
