A boutique base near the beaches
The Golden Sun Boutique Hotel is located in Malia on the stunning Greek island of Crete, offering a serene escape while being close to the lively town centre. A short stroll will take you to Malia’s famous beaches, where golden sands and crystal-clear waters await. Nearby, you’ll be able to explore historical attractions, such as the Minoan Palace of Malia and the old town’s charming streets filled with traditional shops and cafés.
If you’re not hitting the beaches, this hotel boasts a large outdoor pool surrounded by sun loungers, perfect for some much-needed relaxation. Also, rather conveniently, some genius built a small snack bar by the poolside, so you can treat yourself to plenty of refreshing drinks while you bask in the glorious sunshine.
To refresh and recharge, the hotel provides modern, simply decorated rooms, each designed with comfort in mind. Rooms come with air conditioning, free wi-fi, and private balconies, some offering beautiful views of the Aegean Sea. You can wake up to a breakfast buffet each morning, and nearby restaurants offer Cretan cuisine and international dishes. If it’s the nightlife you’re in town for, Malia’s vibrant bars and clubs are just a short distance away – you’re looking at a 10-minute walk to the main strip.

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.
