This luxury Blue Palace Resort & Spa has style and charm, deluxe accommodation and offers tasty authentic cuisine, perfect for a relaxing holiday on the island of Crete.
Breathtaking views of the Cretan Sea and island of Spinalonga are a highlight of this modern, white-washed resort above a private beach. Suites with infinity-edged pools, a dreamy spa, plentiful watersports and a kids’ club ensure there’s something for all ages, from tots to honeymooners.
Around an hour’s drive from Heraklion Airport, this beachside Blue Palace Resort & Spa is in walking distance of the village of Plaka in Mirabello Bay, where there are numerous tavernas and bars, plus a bus service to Elounda three miles away. The private (pebble) beach is a stone’s throw away.
Contemporary cool mixes with traditional touches, such as pebble mosaics, clay roofs and wood shutters. Suites and bungalows are dotted around the pretty palm and olive tree-filled gardens. The entire resort is low-lying and terraced, so blends beautifully into the landscape.
Knowledgable staff (many have been there since the resort opened) know the area well and arrange excursions fuss-free. This is a large hotel with good facilities including a spa with hammam and sauna, PADI dive centre, two flood-lit tennis courts, water-sports centre, bikes, kids’ club, fitness centre with classes including yoga and pilates.

The 251 suites and bungalows are clean and bright with neutral (mainly cream and wood) furnishings.

Many of the rooms have private plunge-pools of varying sizes. The Island Luxury Suite Sea View is perfect for romantics: they have a four-poster bed, egg-shaped bath, patio with loungers and large pool. The Grand Villa boasts a private sauna, massage area, gym and two pools.
There are five restaurants. The best is Blue Door, a traditional Greek-style taverna set in a converted stone fisherman’s house on the water’s edge; catch of the day cooked over the grill with meze is not to be missed. A buffet breakfast is served in main restaurant, Olea (glasses of champagne included), while Flame, a stunning restaurant set beneath a vaulted ceiling, specialises in locally sourced steak. Isola Beach Club has drinks and snacks and the daybeds are a choice place for sunset cocktails, while Arsenali Louge Bar, a candle-lit Moroccan-style lounge overlooking the sea, is a romantic post-dinner hang out.
