A convenient base by the beach

Wake up steps from Ammoudara’s pale sand and gentle shallows – perfect for lazy swims and unhurried beach days. When you’re ready for buzz, Agios Nikolaos is a quick hop by bus or taxi for harbour strolls, coffee by Lake Voulismeni, and boutiques packed with local crafts. Want day trips? Sail to Spinalonga, snorkel around Mirabello Bay, or drive the olive-lined roads to pretty Elounda.

Back at the hotel, life revolves around the shore. Expect sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach, a small swimming pool for cool-offs, and friendly staff happy to help with boat tours, car hire and simple tips – like where to catch the best sunset. There’s a beachside bar–restaurant serving fresh salads, grilled fish and Cretan meze, plus iced coffees and evening spritzes with a sea-breeze backdrop.
