Introducing Ode Iconic Residence
Wake to the soft glow of morning light over Bali’s golden sands, enjoying coffee on the sea-view terraces as the horizon shimmers. Days unfold in sun-soaked ease—float in the 56m² private pool, sink into the six-seater heated Spa Barella whirlpool, or let little ones splash in the 6m² children’s pool compartment. Afternoons invite leisurely al fresco lunches with the gas BBQ, playful ping-pong matches, and restorative pauses in the private sauna. Ideal for multi-generational holidays, wellness and yoga retreats, destination weddings, and exclusive gatherings, the villa offers the atmosphere of a high-end resort entirely your own.

Location Overview - Discover Skaleta in Rethymno

*TO SEE : Bali Village, once a quaint fishing settlement, has evolved into a charming coastal destination that effortlessly combines sea and mountains. Ode Iconic Residence is just a short stroll from the village center, providing easy access to essential amenities and local attractions. The village overlooks its picturesque harbor and the sparkling Cretan Sea, offering a tranquil yet lively setting for exploration. Bali is ideal for those seeking a serene seaside escape, with several sandy and shingle beaches where the calm, green-tinted waters make swimming safe and enjoyable for all ages. Daily bus connections from Heraklion and Rethymnon provide convenient access to the region, while local harbor excursions offer unique coastal adventures, including visits to stunning caves and dramatic rock formations along the shoreline.

*TO DINE : Bali offers an excellent selection of tavernas, restaurants, cafés, and seaside eateries, serving freshly caught seafood, traditional Cretan “meze,” and regional specialties. Guests can also find bakeries, supermarkets, a butchery, a cheese shop, ATMs, and a variety of boutique stores throughout the village. Whether enjoying a casual lunch by the harbor, a family dinner in a traditional taverna, or a romantic evening on the beach, dining in Bali is an immersive experience of local flavors and hospitality.

*TO EXPLORE : Beyond its charming beaches, Bali is a gateway to Crete’s diverse landscapes and attractions. Spend your days swimming, snorkeling, or sunbathing along the four main beaches, all well organized and family-friendly. Explore the scenic coastal paths, take a boat trip to admire hidden coves and rock formations, or visit nearby villages for a taste of authentic Cretan life. With Rethymnon just a 30-minute drive away, guests can easily combine quiet village tranquility with the vibrant cultural, shopping, and historical offerings of one of Crete’s most iconic towns.

A first class Villa

As advertised plus more. Our group of 14 were thoroughly satisfied with the accommodation. Infinity pool was on the cold side but that was because it was simply heated by sunlight. No complaints, just wishing we could have stayed longer.

Beautiful and stunning villa

The host was very welcoming and helpful. The villa itself was immaculately thought out in terms of access, luxury etc . There are en suite bathrooms for each room and plenty of space for each guest. It is beautifully cool and white throughout and the view from each room (except the basement room) provides a stunning view of Bali bay and the sea. You can see the sun rise each morning and watch it set. I would definitely recommend this property.

We have just ended a most wonderful week staying at the Ode Iconic. The team at ThinkVilla helped us organise our week perfectly, including a wonderful meal prepared by Chef Giannis Livas. The residence was so spacious and easily accommodated the different needs of our group ranging from 19 through to 60. The views are spectacular and I loved waking to the sunrise each morning. We also fell in love with Bali and its welcoming residents. We have all left with some cherished memories hoping to return one day.

Amazing week

The villa is absolutely beautiful, as are the views. We had a fantastic week, both kids and adults alike. Split over four floors the accommodation feels vast and as a group of eight we had more than enough space. Our host George was always on hand to assist and genuinely cared about our enjoyment, he was a pleasure to deal with. ThinkVilla provided and excellent concierge service, organising a pre stock of food and drink, a boat charter, transfers and our car rental. Bali is a lovely little resort with some great places to eat and drink. We would highly recommend Villa Iconic and Bali to future guests.

A stunning oasis of the utmost quality & style

We came to celebrate some birthdays with a group of 15. This house is absolutely stunning and the pics don’t do it justice! Everything is of the highest quality & it has the best panoramic views. To say the staff is exception is an understatement. George and the ThinkVilla team arranged everything for us. We hired a chef & professional photographer to photograph our white party. The small town of Bali is very charming with lots of fabulous restaurants and beaches. This is prob the most beautiful home I’ve ever stayed in & I hope to come back! This is complete paradise.
