  • Tranquil moments: With picturesque natural beauty and a beachside location, you're in the perfect setting to relax. Head to one of the pools for a refreshing dip; will you opt for the pool with the integrated jacuzzi, the quiet pool with its infinity view or the pool infused with healthful magnesium minerals?

  • Culinary pleasure: At breakfast, lunch and dinner, the hotel's refined cuisine focuses on fresh, regional ingredients, mostly sourced from local farms. Dine amidst the olive trees at the contemporary main restaurant, which wows with live cooking stations, or sample Cretan specialties at the à la carte restaurant, where the menu incorporates produce from the hotel’s own herb and vegetable garden. Throughout the day, the pool bar will keep you refreshed, whilst evening calls for a cocktail at the sunset lounge bar, looking out across the village.
