Amirandes A Grecotel Resort to Live

Designed in the style of a grand, modern day palace, pairing Greek marble with lagoons, palm trees and beautifully landscaped gardens, the Amirandes A Grecotel Resort to Live is the epitome of Cretan luxury and tranquility. Far from a case of style over substance, it’s got the top class amenities and idyllic seafront location to match its dazzling looks – an ideal choice for couples, families, friends and solo travellers alike. 

The centrepiece of the resort is the Olympic-size, seawater outdoor pool, where you can spend chilled-out days swimming and sunbathing to your heart’s content. You’ll also have direct access to the beach and an indoor pool that’s heated during April and October. The latter is found at the spa, which also features a sauna, a beauty salon, and private massage rooms. And with a whole host of sports on offer, from beach volleyball and tennis to boccia and yoga, there’s no shortage of ways to stay active. 

Visiting with children? They’ll have a fantastic time here, thanks to the shallow pool, the jam-packed activities programme (for ages 4-12, as well as teens) and the dedicated kids dining options. 

Speaking of the culinary scene, it’s bursting with options, including the main buffet restaurant and an array of à la carte venues specialising in Cretan, Italian and Asian cuisine, as well as fresh seafood and grilled meats. For a truly unique and authentic Cretan dining experience, a trip to the Agreco Farm near Rethymno is well worth considering. Drinks can be enjoyed in the scenic surrounds of the lagoon or down at the beach, where the dreamy views are accompanied by the soothing sound of live lounge music in the evenings. 

Greek island getaways don’t come much more serene than this. 

Just so you know, due to the layout of this hotel, most rooms and sections are not suitable for guests with limited mobility.
