Minoa Palace Resort

Get a taste of true serenity at this beauty of a hotel perched right in front of the majestic Aegean Sea. From the spectacular tropical garden setting and five-star amenities to its myriad of first-class dining options, it has all the right ingredients for an unforgettable holiday.

 

You’ll find four pools dotted around the premises, including two just for the little ones. There’s also a pool bar nearby, surrounded by cascading waterfalls, so you’ll never be stuck without an ice-cold drink to help cool you down. A sand-and-pebble beach, meanwhile, is just a stone’s throw away, and has its own bar with a variety of snacks and cocktails to keep you suitably refreshed.

 

If total relaxation is your goal, head to the hotel’s luxurious spa. It has a sauna, steam room, two Jacuzzis, a heated indoor pool, and a traditional Turkish Hammam to keep you in a state of bliss. There’s a treatment room, too, which boasts an extensive menu of top-to-toe treatments, and a fully equipped gym that’s also air conditioned for your complete comfort.

 

When it comes to cuisine, you’re spoilt for choice around here. Not only do you get a large international buffet restaurant that regularly throws themed nights with signature dishes from around the world, but Mediterranean and Italian à la cartes, too. For something a little different however, pay the seaside restaurant a visit – it specialises in dishes that are only made from the freshest organic produce.

 

As evening draws in, that’s your cue to head to the piano bar for your favourite tipple and a spot of live music. Hear your bed calling? You can look forward to a spacious room with art décor and plenty of mod cons to help you settle down for the night.
