Villa Iris, beachfront, with jacuzzi, up to 9 guests, Mpali beach, Rethymno!, Balíon

Villa Iris is a beachfront villa in Balíon, Greece, set on Mpali Beach and designed for groups of up to nine who want sea time without giving up space. The address is in the Mpali area of Balíon, so you can step out to the shoreline quickly and return when the sun gets strong. After swimming, the jacuzzi is the standout for winding down, while the terrace gives everyone a place to linger over the view. Inside, the layout suits shared holidays: multiple bedrooms and five bathrooms help prevent the usual morning bottlenecks for larger parties.

Recent guests who rated Villa Iris 10/10 in eight reviews often highlight the calm, beach-forward setting and the practical comfort of the villa for families and friend groups. Several mention that the air conditioning makes a noticeable difference during warmer hours, and that the villa’s non-smoking policy keeps common areas feeling fresh. For meals at home, the BBQ facilities are a simple way to turn an ordinary evening into something more relaxed.

If you want context beyond the beach, Rethymno Old Town is about 25 km away, with its Venetian harbour atmosphere and historic streets. Fortezza is also around 25 km, and Arkadi Monastery sits roughly 31 km from the villa for a memorable day trip.

Villa Iris is best for couples, families, and small groups who prefer a private, beach-based stay with room to spread out, plus on-site support through the tour desk and luggage storage when planning your days.
