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. 

What Atlantica Ocean Beach has to offer

    Beachfront bliss

    It doesn't get much closer to the shore than this. With direct access to Maleme Beach – a long pebbled stretch that tends to be a bit quieter than the buzzy beaches of Chania – long days spent swimming and sunbathing are well in-hand. And with a smattering of bars and restaurants along the waterfront, you shouldn't have to wander too far for a snack. 

    Kid-friendly facilities

    This place really ticks the family friendly box. With a splash park, kids' pools, and a couple of water slides, hours of splash-tastic fun are in store. Plus, back on dry land the kids' club here is open six days a week (excluding public holidays) and lays on fun and games for any little ones aged between four and twelve. There are mini discos in the evenings, too. 

    Serene spa

    For the ultimate relaxation, make a beeline for the spa, even if it's just for a few minutes of precious me time in the steam room. But, if you have some time to spare, there's no better way to pamper yourself than with an indulgent massage.

    Explore Maleme

    Make a splash

    There’s a thrill for every size at the on-site aqua park - zip down the Giant River Slide, test your nerve in the Black Hole Tunnel, or dip your toes in with the smaller jungle themed slides. You could work your way up to the steep Kamikaze Slide, not for the feint hearted, if you really like a challenge. 

    With 5 exciting slides to choose from, little ones and slightly less little ones (that’s you mum and dad) can whoosh hours away here having fun in the sun.
