On a private peninsula near Agios Nikolaos in eastern Crete stands Minos Palace, a five-star hotel for adults only. Its setting is reminiscent of a small island in the sea: the views open onto the water all around, and the resort is entirely devoted to privacy and calm. At its heart is a freshwater infinity pool, complemented by a private sandy cove with sunbeds. The hotel belongs to Bluegr Hotels &Resorts and suits couples and all adults who wish to combine relaxation by the water with Cretan cuisine and a thoughtful wellbeing programme.
Minos Palace explicitly welcomes adults only. With no children’s programme, days at the infinity pool, in the private cove or in the yoga pavilion are devoted entirely to calm, a fitting setting for a honeymoon or time away for two.
Some suites have their own pool, including the Waterfall Suite and the Infinity Lagoon suites. Other suites share a pool, and the rooms offer king-size beds and private balconies.
Under the name Nao, the resort brings together its wellbeing offering, with the Nao Longevity Hub, personalised programmes and à la carte treatments. There is also a gym, an outdoor yoga pavilion and a tennis court.
Minos Palace offers rooms, suites and bungalows. The rooms are furnished with king-size beds and private balconies. Depending on the category, the suites have a private or a shared pool, and the Waterfall Suite and the Infinity Lagoon suites have private pools. If you would rather get into the sea away from the beach, you will also find secluded sunloungers with direct access to the water.
What sets Minos Palace apart is its location: on the private peninsula the sea is present all around, and the infinity pool offers a 180-degree view of sea and sky. The hotel has two restaurants, including Amar, two lounge bars and a wine library, and private dining can be arranged. Active guests make use of the diving and water sports centre, bicycles and e-bikes, and the weekly recreational programme.
For a honeymoon we recommend a suite with its own pool, such as the Waterfall Suite, which the resort describes as a particularly individual place to stay. Also set aside an evening for a private dinner, which the hotel arranges for its guests.
