The Royal Blue Resort & Spa
Crete is calling… answer in style with a glamorous stay at one of the finest five-star resorts on the famed Greek island. Spectacularly located on a hillside, The Royal Blue Resort & Spa covers over 70 acres of perfectly kept gardens and offers access to a private beach with sunbeds and umbrellas.
Spend your time lazing by the main pools, which offer breathtaking views over the Aegean Sea, practising your serve on the tennis courts, being pampered at the blissful spa or wining and dining at one of seven restaurants and bars, including the locally inspired Symposium.
The Royal Blue Resort & Spa is located on the northern coast of Crete, just shy of the fishing village of Panormos, home to cosy tavernas and boutique shops.
