Beachfront bliss with a Cretan twist

Set right on the sandy shores of Crete’s north coast, This is where lazy beach days meet five-star comfort. Tucked just a few minutes’ walk from the charming town of Platanias – home to seafront cafés and traditional tavernas – you’ll settle into the island rhythm of life in no time. 

There’s plenty to keep you as relaxed – or as busy – as you like. You’ve got four swimming pools to dip between, a great spa complete with hammam, sauna, and those fancy foot baths you didn’t know you needed. Little ones get their own pools, slides and a kids’ club packed with activities, while adults can sneak off for a gym session or unwind with a cocktail in hand. 

What Porto Platanias Beach Resort and Spa has to offer

    Mornings with a view
