The Premium All-Inclusive package at Amirandes offers an unparalleled experience of luxury and relaxation. Guests can enjoy a variety of dining options, including buffet and à la carte restaurants, in-villa dining, and poolside service, with a wide selection of drinks and wines available throughout the day. The package also includes daily stocked minibars, afternoon tea snacks, and 24-hour in-room dining.

For leisure, guests can indulge in curated sports experiences like private padel or tennis lessons, and enjoy seamless luxury transfers arranged by a personal concierge. The service extends to beach and poolside amenities, offering artisanal ice creams, fresh juices, and cocktails. With a focus on personalized attention, the package ensures every detail of your stay is tailored to perfection, making it a truly extraordinary escape.

Venturing outside your serene abode, the lagoon pool is like stepping into an aquatic paradise fit for Minoan royalty, a place where you can indulge in cool, crystal-clear waters, or simply unwind on plush loungers while sipping refreshing beverages from the multiple eataries included in your stay.

For the little explorers eager to experience new adventures, the resort is rich with activities. On-site entertainment options include a mini-club that boasts a diverse programme ranging from arts and crafts to movie nights, ensuring that there is never a dull moment. Meanwhile, adventure awaits in the form of boat safaris and fishing excursions, perfect for making lifelong family memories amidst the awe-inspiring Cretan sea.

The resort's proximity to cultural and historical hotspots provides opportunities to educate and inspire. A short drive takes you to the bustling island capital, Heraklion, where you can meander through the cobbled streets, explore the imposing Venetian fortresses, and marvel at the treasures within the Archaeological Museum.

And, of course, a trip to Crete would not be complete without visiting the famed Minoan Palace of Knossos. Here, history comes alive as you walk the same paths as legendary figures, and exercise your imagination with tales of the Minotaur and the vast labyrinth that once contained him.

After a day of exploration and fun, the resort's dining experiences cater to all tastes, from the freshest seafood served beachside to the enchanting atmosphere of dining under the starry sky. At Minotaur restaurant, even the setting is a masterpiece, adorned with genuine Picasso ceramics.

Amirandes Grecotel Boutique Resort ensures a holistic experience that blends leisure, luxury, and learning — all within a majestically designed space that leaves families enchanted and eager to return.
