Set within its own tranquil hideaway in Crete, discover why Daios Cove Luxury Resort and Villas is the ideal place for your next Greek retreat

A world away from the package holidays and crowded beaches a few miles to the north, a luxurious stay in one of Crete’s premier hotels makes it easy for you to relax. Here are five reasons to book a stay at Daios Cove Luxury Resort and Villas.

1. Enjoy the view
The resort is set on a striking hillside, overlooking the sun-drenched scenery of Mirabello Bay. Its elevated position provides stunning panoramic views from all parts of the resort, with 39 villas, and 251 luxury rooms and suites boasting superb sea views. And there’s a private beach, so you don’t have to sacrifice lounging on the sand for those epic views.

2. Stay secluded
As the name suggests, the resort is hidden away in its own private cove, with calm waters and a private sandy beach. If you’re looking for even more privacy, check in to one of the villas for private secluded pools with sea views and special ‘Cove Club’ services.

3. Eat Greek
The Mediterranean tradition of fresh, vibrant dining is a constant presence at Daios Cove Resort. Go classic Greek at the open-air taverna or sample the à la carte offerings at Ocean, the hotel’s fine-dining restaurant. Whether you’re starting your day with an al fresco breakfast at Pangea, sipping cocktails at the beach bar or whiling the night away at the Crystal Box bar, there’s always something new to enjoy. 

4. Rejuvenate
Want some pampering? The resort’s luxury spa is run by French body-care specialist Anne Semonin, with a range of uplifting treatments designed to get you in the holiday spirit. For something really decadent, book a stay at the two-bedroom wellness villa. It has a private pool, personal gym facilities and a private Finnish sauna.

5. Family fun
The suites and villas on offer at Daios Cove make it easy for your family to relax and spend time together. Spacious villas with multiple rooms allow larger families the luxury of privacy, while a dedicated children’s pool and Kids Club are on hand for the little ones. The water sports centre at the beach is available for all ages to enjoy.
