The AHEAD-awarded design opens to private terraces, gardens and Aegean views; many rooms add a private or shared pool. A private beach and two pools, separate adult and family zones, anchor the days, with the old town a short walk away.
The table
The kitchen, led by chef Dionysios Pliatsikas, works a neo-Greek register rooted in Cretan produce. The all-day Beach House runs from breakfast to dinner, while a second restaurant pushes into fine dining, a table recognised with a MICHELIN Key in 2025.

Design resorts can feel like showrooms; this one is warm, walkable and genuinely Cretan, with a kitchen that takes the island seriously.
