Why we picked this hotel
What makes this place so special is that the water is always close. The beach stretches along the front, pools wind through the resort, and the spa’s heated indoor pool offers a peaceful retreat from the Cretan sun.
Hotel description
Uzenie is a 50-suite, adults-only beachfront resort in Adelianos Kampos, around a 15-minute drive from central Rethymno. The low-rise property uses natural materials, stone, greenery and large sculptural boulders, with saltwater woven throughout the design in communal, swim-up and individual pools. The hotel opened in 2025, bringing a fresh new chapter to a thoughtfully reimagined property. It is designed for days that barely need a plan: breakfast by the sea, time between the beach and pools, yoga or Pilates, a few hours inside Lithos Spa, then dinner at Keras. Rethymno is close enough for an evening out, but this is primarily somewhere to stay put, particularly for couples wanting an adult-focused beach and wellness break.

Hotel location
This is great
Every stay is in a suite
All 50 accommodations are suites, with many adding swim-up access, individual pools or private hydromassage tubs.
The resort ends at the sea
Uzenie sits directly on Adelianos Kampos beach, with loungers, umbrellas and service extending right to the shoreline.
A serious spa for just fifty suites
Lithos combines a heated indoor pool and Jacuzzi with sauna, steam bath, ice bath and couples treatment suites.
Cretan food from breakfast to dinner
Keras moves from a generous breakfast to beach-club lunches and Cretan à la carte dinners built around local produce.
Water runs through the whole resort
The communal and private pools use saltwater, while selected suites bring swimming directly to their terraces.
Wellness continues outside the spa
Atlas Gym adds proper strength and cardio equipment, with yoga, Pilates and private training also available.
Our take on the stay
This is one of those hotels that works best when you give in to it. Stay by the water, take long lunches, book a treatment and let the days become pleasantly repetitive.

About the destination
Crete, Greece
Crete combines rugged mountains, historic towns, and a coastline of clear waters and long Mediterranean beaches. On the island’s northern coast, Rethymno brings together a Venetian harbour, cobbled Old Town streets, and easy access to the surrounding countryside. Uzenie Boutique Resort sits directly on the beach at Adelianos Kampos, offering a peaceful base for exploring this part of the island.
