About the hotel

Step right into an island explorer’s dream with a picturesque stay in Crete’s charming village of Plaka, overlooking Spinalonga Island and the turquoise expanse of the Aegean Sea. Every room and suite comes with its own private pool and panoramic sea views, so that postcard-worthy outlook is part of every stay.

Situated near the popular tourist town of Elounda, you’ll find uninterrupted bliss within moments of arriving: unwind beside the glimmering split-level infinity pool with a cocktail in hand, find a cosy sunbed on Plaka Beach, or uncover new levels of rejuvenation with a tailored treatment at Aegeo Spa.

Wake to the gentle sounds of the Aegean as the sun rises, promising another day of serenity. Relish gastronomic perfection at the resort’s various eateries and bars, including a mix of Cretan, Mediterranean, Greek and international flavours. When the day winds down, let sunset over the Aegean set the pace for the evening.
