A base by the beaches

Tucked away just a short stroll from Malia’s Old Town, this hotel blends peaceful surroundings with easy access to one of Crete’s liveliest resort scenes. You’ll be less than a 10-minute walk from the beach and close to the vibrant Malia strip, packed with shops, bars, and late-night spots. For a quieter vibe, explore the traditional side of Malia with its quaint streets, local tavernas, and historic charm.

The hotel itself offers a relaxed, modern vibe, with a large outdoor swimming pool, spacious sun terrace, and a pool bar serving snacks and cocktails throughout the day. There’s also a restaurant on-site offering buffet-style meals with a mix of Cretan favourites and international cuisine. If you fancy dining out, there are plenty of options just steps away — from seafood grills to classic Greek souvlaki joints. Other handy features include free Wi-Fi, a 24-hour reception, and friendly staff always happy to help with local tips or tour bookings. Whether you’re hoping for lazy days by the pool or nights on the town, this place offers a solid base for your Malia escape.

Find out more about Malia

Crete’s undisputed party capital is up there with Magaluf and Sunny Beach in the neon-lit nightlife stakes. Its famous strip is tucked just behind the beach, and it’s packed with clubs, pubs and bars that encourage revellers to dance until dawn.

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.
