Kyma Beach

For the perfect lazy day, head to the rooftop pool for panoramic views of the Cretan Sea. Surrounded by loungers, it’s the perfect spot to take a dip, bask in the sunshine or enjoy a perfectly mixed cocktail to properly get into ‘holiday mode’. If you’re looking for more serious relaxation, swing by the wellness centre for a deep tissue massage, a detoxing sauna session, or, if you’re feeling fancy, a chromotherapy steam room experience (think tropical rain inside – yes, really). And there’s also a fully equipped gym, just in case you don’t want to take a holiday from your fitness routine.

Start your days the right way with the hotel’s lavish breakfast buffet, featuring local delicacies and international favourites. For lunch and dinner, head to the Moulveri Restaurant, where you can watch the chefs whip up Mediterranean dishes with a Cretan twist right before your eyes - it’s like dinner with a show. And when it’s time to unwind, grab a drink at the Navy Blend bar. This marine-inspired spot offers everything from rare gins and whiskies to creative mixes. But be sure to try the bar’s signature ‘snow cocktails.’ If you're looking to explore local dining, the old town is packed with fantastic tavernas and bars serving up authentic Cretan fare and ice-cold drinks.

Kyma Beach is your ideal Rethymnon retreat – whether you’re getting lost in the winding streets of the old town, soaking up the spectacular sea views from the rooftop pool, or lounging on the golden beach. With spacious, sunlit rooms, a laid-back atmosphere, and a touch of Cretan charm, it’s a standout choice for kicking back with a perfectly mixed cocktail or two – and letting the serene island vibes sweep you off your flip-flops! Yamas!
