Luxury Cretan retreat
Nestled right on the golden beachfront of Malia, Alexander Beach Hotel & Village is a stylish resort in the postcard-perfect Malia Bay area. With the vibrant town of Malia just a ten-minute walk away, famous for its buzzing nightlife and ancient ruins – it’s where history and partying come together in true Greek style. For something more tranquil, the charming village of Stalis is just a five-minute stroll away, famed for its peaceful beaches, inviting local cafes, traditional tavernas, and quaint shops.
The hotel oozes traditional Cretan charm with its whitewashed buildings, terracotta roofs, and bungalows scattered throughout lush, subtropical gardens. With rooms that offer air conditioning (to beat the Greek heat), high-speed wi-fi, flat-screen TVs, and balconies with garden, sea, or pool views. It’s the perfect mix of old-school Greek village vibes and modern luxury.
With six freshwater pools (yes, six), you’ll never struggle to find a spot for that perfect poolside selfie. If you’re in the mood for some serious pampering, the Aegean Spa will melt your stress away with soothing massages, relaxing saunas, and calming steam baths. And if you’re keen to keep active, the gym features high-end equipment and personal trainers who can whip you up a tailored work-out plan. For little ones, the Alexander Kids Club is ready to entertain with a range of fun activities, meaning you can sneak in some extra time by the pool.
Start your days with the hotel’s full American breakfast buffet, packed with all your favourites – and some local delicacies. Need a midday snack? Grab a bite at the pool bar or head to the beach bars. For dinner, take your pick: the main restaurant serves up a massive buffet with show cooking, or try the Taverna & Ouzerie Meltemi for some proper Cretan dishes and mezze. Fancy Italian? Ristorante Oliva’s got you covered with pizza and pasta. And for a cocktail with a view, head to Apollo’s Cocktail Bar or the Beach Club and see sunsets that’ll have you swooning.
With its stunning private beach stretching out in front of the hotel, six pools to dip into, and an indulgent spa, the Alexander Beach Hotel & Village is ideal for those who want to relax in luxury. Whether you’re seeking a romantic getaway, a family escape, or just want to experience Malia’s vibrant nightlife, this resort has it all. And with the spectacular sea views, you’ll find yourself soaking up sunsets that are pure Instagram gold!

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.
