A splash-ready showstopper for families
Call off the search for the perfect family holiday destination – the Atlantica Ocean Beach (formerly known as Creta Princess by Atlantica) has got you covered. Perched in a pretty spot skirted by a pebble beach in the peaceful town of Maleme in Crete, both little ones and grown-up guests will be in their element at this place.
Days here revolve around the water. Whether you’re going for a dip in the curvy main pool, soaking up the sun on a lounger, or upping the pace of the day by hopping between the five rides at the small on-site aqua park, you’ll be well set. And kids will be kept busy at the two splash pools, which come complete with a collection of animal-shaped slides, tipping buckets, chutes, and water pistols.
Back on dry land, there’s a whole host of activities to get involved in. The children’s playground and kids’ club are on hand for little ones, while adults can try out everything from aqua aerobics and tennis to mini golf and beach volleyball. There’s also a well-equipped gym, but if your vibe is a bit more subdued than that, the spa is the place to be for some well-deserved pampering. Treat yourself to a massage or manicure, or simply chill out in the steam room or relaxation area.
Worked up an appetite? At mealtimes, the international buffet restaurant serves up a huge range of international dishes, with a different menu theme each evening. Be sure to also book a table at one of the à la carte restaurants, where you can dine on carefully crafted Asian and Mediterranean flavours. Then you’ve got the poolside snack bar, so you’re never far from a bite to eat or a refreshing drink between sunbathing sessions. The lobby bar and disco bar, meanwhile, take the reins for evening drinks.
