Welcoming base in Gouves
The Aelius Hotel and Spa makes the perfect place for a chilled out Greek getaway. It’s in Kato Gouves, and there’s a beautiful beach within a 15-minute stroll, or a quick ride on the hotel’s free shuttle bus. And if you want to head into Heraklion for dinner, drinks, or a bit of sightseeing, it’s less than 20 minutes away by taxi.
At the hotel itself you’ll find three pools, including one exclusively for Sensus guests and one indoor number, edged by a roomy sun terrace and plenty of loungers – the ideal place to spend the day chilling out. There’s a poolside bar, too, so you needn’t move far from your lounger for drinks and snacks. The main restaurant, meanwhile, takes care of breakfast, lunch and dinner and serves a buffet of Greek and international dishes.
When little ones aren’t in the water, there are two children’s playgrounds. And for adults, there’s a well-equipped outdoor calisthenics gym and indoor gym, as well as tables for table tennis and billiards. If you’re after some added relaxation, head to the spa centre, where you’ll find treatment rooms, an indoor pool, a sauna, and a range of massages, facials and wellness treatments.
Fancy a bit of VIP treatment? Sensus guests get access to an exclusive pool, a private poolside bar, and little extras that make every moment feel indulgent. Think of it as your personal luxury bubble –stay Sensus, stay spoiled.
