The Island Hotel

Set on the shores of the dazzling Aegean, The Island Hotel in Gouves is an adults-only retreat where relaxation meets contemporary style. The golden sands of Gouves Beach are just steps away, while the lively resort town of Hersonissos is just a 15-minute cab ride. Crete’s capital, Heraklion, is a 20-minute drive, and the legendary Palace of Knossos is around 25 minutes away, making it easy to blend cultural exploration with coastal bliss.

Whether you're drifting between the pools or indulging in pure bliss at The Bathhouse Spa, relaxation is the order of the day. Feel like moving? Stretch into a yoga session, challenge your partner to a game of tennis, or smash a workout in the gym. Prefer a more laid-back approach? Sip a perfectly mixed cocktail at one of the stylish bars and let the sea breeze do the rest. As the sky turns golden, settle in for live music, mellow entertainment, and those magical Cretan nights.
