A family-friendly all-inclusive in Anissara
Set in peaceful Anissara on Crete’s north coast, the OYA Beach Resort's been spruced up for 2026 with sparkling new looks to its rooms, communal areas, and facilities. Just a stone's throw from the hotel's new beachfront area and 10 minutes by car to the nearby town of Hersonissos, You’ll be in prime position to unwind, explore, or both. Whether you’re travelling as a couple or family, there’s a touch of luxury to everything here, making your holiday relaxing and fun all at once.
Firstly, seek out one of the three saltwater swimming pools, which includes an active pool, a relax pool and a handful of relaxation areas. Then, make for the beach where you can kick back on a lounger or take a dip in the revitalising Aegean Sea. To really maximise on the R&R, why not head to the spa? There’s a variety of body and facial treatments, including one that prepares your skin for optimum tanning – just don’t forget your SPF. Kids will love the waterslides that send them whooshing into the children’s pool. There’s also a programme of activities they can join six days a week, a games corner, a playground and a mini disco if they want to throw some shapes. And for grown-ups? OYA Beach Resort's new entertainment concept brings the the fun with white nights, sundowner rituals, and live DJ performances.
Dining here is a delight with five restaurants serving everything from international buffets to authentic Greek mezzes, Italian favourites, and exquisite Asian cuisine. During the day, there are two poolside snack bars at the heart of the action, and one also serves delicious crepes when you need a mid-afternoon sugar boost. The Main Restaurant is where you’ll go for an American-style breakfast buffet, plus lunch and dinner buffets.
Whether you’re searching for the perfect poolside set up, dreamy days on the beach, family fun, or Cretan culture, we think you’ll love it here. Your next Greek escape is only a booking away.
