Family-focused luxury in Crete

Looking for a luxurious family escape? Let us give you a head start. The Grecotel Meli Palace has got you covered – from its off-the-beaten-track location in sleepy Agia Vavara to its well-thought out facilities. From its beachfront perch between Mediterranean greenery – think olive trees, cacti, and beautiful hibiscus – the hotel feels pretty secluded, but a five-minute cab ride will take you to Sissi.

You get the best of both worlds when it comes to swimming spots – the outdoor pool comes with sweeping sea views, and the beach is just a few paces away if you fancy a dip in the sea. There’s also a poolside bar, and a separate pool for splash-making little ones. Looking for some me time? Head to the spa – which is home to a sauna, a hot tub, a gym, a beauty salon, and a relaxation lounge – and treat yourself to a massage. The spa even offers mini-massages for kids, alongside its usual treatments.

What Grecotel Meli Palace has to offer

    Beachfront bliss

    It doesn't get much closer to the beach than this. Follow the path through the gardens and you'll land right on the shoreline, with just a short stretch of sand and shingle sitting between you and the sea beyond. Swim, sunbathe, or get stuck into the fun and games that are laid on by the hotel. The best part? No long trek home when you've had enough. 

    Serenity in spades

    Recline in the tranquil surroundings of the spa, steal a few minutes in the sauna, or treat yourself to a soak in the hydro-massage bath – this is a place for R&R. And if you fancy a proper pamper session, why not check out the menu of massages and treatments on offer?

    Buckets of fun for little ones

    The Grecoland Club is all about the kids. With indoor and outdoor play areas, organised activities, and more, youngsters aged 4-12 will have a whale of a time here. Sports, team games, crafts, and competitions are all on the agenda six days a week.
