With magnificent sea views from a rocky headland above Aghios Nikolaos Bay, this adults-only resort blends together all the ingredients for a relaxing holiday.

Take time out to relax by the swimming pool or rest by the lapping waves of the hotel's private beach, where you can try various water-sports. The hotel location is unique. In a peninsula, it has a small private beach for the guests that is very quiet and comfortable. Although the hotel manages to seem isolated, it is just 5 minutes by car from the village of Agyos Nikolaus, a great option for restaurants, bars and a lively night life. Service is exceptional, we felt so welcome all the time and all our requests were carefully addressed. The restaurants and bars at the hotel are also great, although with some steep prices. We loved our stay and do recommend this hotel in Crete. It has it all for a delicious stay.
