As the largest of all the Greek islands, Crete hotels are pretty diverse. Find boutique stays nestled into its mountainsides, facility-packed All Inclusive resorts overlooking the coast and family-friendly apartments set in the heart of its sleepy rural villages.
But there’s one thing Crete does well, and that’s luxury! Families seeking something with the wow-factor will love Radisson Blu Beach Resort in Milatos, which has not just one but two private beaches. Not to mention a fantastic aquapark and lazy river. Another fancy option is Mitsis Selection Laguna. Sitting just outside bustling Hersonissos, the hotel’s ultra All Inclusive programme has something for every age, whether you’re an a la carte loving adult or a parent trying to satisfy your kid’s sweet cravings.
Prefer it if the kids didn’t tag along? Then we know just the spot! Home to one of the island’s largest lagoon pools, Stella Island Luxury Resort & Spa in Analipsi is the ultimate adults only escape. The resort has a Maldives feel to it from its sunken seating areas, to its floating dining spots, and overwater bungalows - all beautifully connected by a string of wooden bridges. And your sunbathing options are just as plush with comfy double loungers positioned perfectly over the water.
Or maybe you’re after something that’s just as classy but not quite as costly! Great for couples and families alike with its free waterpark entry, fantastic All Inclusive programme and beachside location, we love the 4 star Star Beach Village in Hersonissos! Don’t forget to check out our affordable Self Catering options in Crete too, like Elounda Garden Suites in Elounda, which is a fantastic choice if you want to dive into the local food scene.
Whatever hotels in Crete you choose, the island is bound to blow you away with its Caribbean-like beaches, Old Town charms and rural landscapes.
