Brand new adults-only Crete spa escape

Nalu Resort & Spa, Crete, Greek Islands

Time-limited

Property details

A brand-new, beautifully imagined beach escape close to Crete’s historic Rethymnon, with mesmerising sea views – includes breakfast, dinner, welcome drink, and more
  • New beginnings: Nalu Resort & Spa is the latest opening on Crete’s north coast, just 15 minutes’ drive west of the beautiful, history-packed town of Rethymnon. The hotel is set on the beach, with the design of the 66 rooms and suites perfectly angled so each has a view of the sparkling Aegean. Dark woods, soft taupe linens and unassuming details ensure that all your attention is directed towards the views.

  • Holistic wellness: All of the resort’s wellness elements are designed to work together to help you look and feel tip top. Begin in the gym, to work up a sweat or build strength. Then head to the spa for a rejuvenating massage or relaxing aromatherapy treatment. Finish with a stretch on the beach or a yoga session, before taking a dip in the sea.

  • Cretan flavours: The hotel is situated in a popular resort area, so there’s a wide choice of restaurants and bars to choose from. If you don’t want to stray far from your lounger, however, head to the hotel’s trendy beach bar for light snacks and refreshing drinks. For dinner, reserve your spot at the restaurant and indulge in organic, local cuisine packed with Mediterranean flavours – plus, there are theme nights twice a week.

How to get there

Chania International Airport is 71 kilometres from the hotel, taking a little over an hour to drive. Alternatively, you could fly to Heraklion, which is roughly the same time and 77 kilometres away.

Location and what's nearby

Nalu Resort & Spa, Adelianos Kampos, 74150, Rethymnon, Crete, Greece

From fine-sand beaches and rugged mountains to ancient history and pretty seaside villages, Crete is one of the most bewitching of all the Greeks isles. Thanks to an idyllic location just west of historic Rethymno, your hotel places you in the perfect place to explore for a truly authentic Cretan getaway. Must-visits include Lake Kournas, the Samaria Gorge, Almyrida Beach and the archaeological site of Aptera.

The peaceful Venetian neighbourhood of Rethymno is rich in old-world charm and warm hospitality. Spend a day discovering the famous Rimondi fountain, 16th-century loggia, historic Fortezza and vibrant central market, where café-bars and restaurants pepper the tumbledown network of cobbled streets. The coastline is dotted with colourful fishing boats and tiny tavernas serving rustic Cretan delicacies, and there are a number of long sand and shingle beaches to enjoy too.
