A breezy Malia beach base
Set by the sea in Malia, this hotel puts Crete’s sunshine, sand and lively holiday energy right at your feet. The beach is close by for lazy swims and watersports, while Malia’s centre is within easy reach for shops, bars, restaurants and nights out. If you fancy exploring further, the Minoan Palace of Malia, Stalis, Hersonissos and Heraklion all make great additions to the itinerary.
Back at the hotel, the pool scene brings the fun. There’s a seaside pool with a swim-up bar, cabanas and a sun terrace, plus a children’s pool with two big waterslides, water features and inflatables for splash-happy younger guests. You’ll also find a gym, watersports, a piano bar and plenty of space for laid-back days between beach and pool.
Food keeps things easy and sociable. The Beach Restaurant serves buffet breakfast and dinner, with Cretan and European specialities on the menu. During the day, the beach bar and pool bar are on hand for drinks, coffee, cocktails and snacks, so you never have to wander far from the water. Beach, slides, sundowners, repeat –that's the life.

Find out more about Malia
Holidays to Malia aren’t all about the nightlife, though. It’s loved for its beaches – golden sandy stretches which wind along the north-east coast. Favourite swathes include Potomas Beach, which has a sleepier feel than the rest, and Glozanie Beach, where the watersports and thatched bars create a lively atmosphere.
Check out Malia’s Old Town for scenes of old-world Greece. Its cobbled lanes flaunt Medieval churches and whitewashed cottages that have stood the test of time. Unlike the strip of the town centre, you won’t find a fast food shop or a chain restaurant in sight here – it’s all about independents offering up tastes of the island.
