Accommodation here is in ‘nests’ and open-plan suites with outdoor Jacuzzis or shared infinity pools, and there are also two communal outdoor pools, an award-winning spa, four restaurants, and three bars. Eateries include Agora, an open-air, street-food-style venue with weekly theme nights, including Greek gyros, a poolside grill, and a rooftop bar with champagne tastings, guest mixologists, and DJ nights.
If you want to explore, there’s a whole host of local attractions such as the sinking village of Sfendili, Lasithi Cave (the mythical birthplace of Zeus), the Minoan Palace of Knossos (legendary home to the Minotaur in the maze), Europe’s biggest palm forest, and Voulisma Lagoon. You can also volunteer for the resort’s eco initiatives, including beach cleaning and planting in its gardens
