Boutique Hotels in Crete

A swim before breakfast, lunch beneath a pergola and another dip before dinner. Our Crete collection makes days like these easy to imagine, with beach retreats, generous pools and terraces looking out towards the sea. Choose a stay beside the water or settle into the hills, where the coastline stretches below.

Give yourself time to explore one part of the island properly. Follow a winding road to a village taverna, spend a morning among ancient ruins or find a beach you’ll want to revisit. Cretan food deserves an afternoon of its own, with local cheese, seasonal vegetables and olive oil worth taking home. Return with time for a drink on the terrace as the evening cools.
