Bohemian-luxe hillside hotel
Style comes in spades at the Domes Zeen Chania, a sophisticated retreat on Crete’s northern shores. The hotel is in a slightly raised hillside setting in the resort of Kato Daratso, cocooned by greenery and overlooking a private beach and the Sea of Crete.
The hotel offers all the hallmarks you’d expect from the prestigious Domes Resorts collection. For starters, it’s absolutely beautiful – design-led and contemporary, styled with earthy tones throughout and with rattan and wooden accents. In-room luxuries include fluffy bathrobes and slippers for all the family, and each room flaunts gorgeous sea views.
Unwinding is easy, with a super-sleek pool area and a sumptuous spa for treatments. And the children’s facilities are first-class, with activities for little ones ranging from Greek cooking classes to sleepovers under the stars.
At mealtimes, choose between the Zamana, a swanky restaurant and lounge serving Mediterranean delights, and an elegant fine dining affair with a carefully curated menu, and an impressive wine list to match.
If you can bear to tear yourself away from the hotel, you’re well-placed for exploring. This part of the island lends itself to outdoor activities, plus you’re only a five-minute drive from Chania, a city rich in Venetian architecture and with a fantastic boutique shopping scene.

Find out more about Chania
Holidays to Chania are a mixed bag. Some come for the beaches, many of which have Blue Flag status and pair vanilla sands with calm, clear waters. Others seek ancient history, of which you’ll find lots of – courtesy of the city’s museums and rich architecture. Chania’s outskirts, meanwhile, lure outdoor enthusiasts, ready to tackle the hiking trails of its surrounding forests and mountains.
