Why Kids Love it
There’s a huge amount for kids to do, whether they’re babies, toddlers or teens! The creche takes babies from 4 months (up to 4 years, for 25EUR per session), while the kids club is perfect for children aged 4-12 years (free of charge) and the teens zone has a Playstation and a pool table. During the child-focused kids club sessions, they’ll get to experience a wide range of activities, including: puppet theater, circus performances, balloon sculptures, cooking lessons, stargazing, sports lessons, drawing contests, trekking excursions, yoga, trampolining and treasure hunts. The hotel also has their very own playground, kids pool and KiEpos (kitchen garden) where kids can plant and water their own greens, herbs and flowers, learning about sustainability, eco-responsibility and healthy eating (and receive an email after they leave with photos of how much their plant has grown!).

About the Location
The hotel is located on Mirabello Bay on the northern coast of Crete, in the Greek Islands. The resort has its own private beach (just a few steps away) with stunning views of the picturesque Spinalonga islet - a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Within the resort, there are 4 restaurants as well as deli stalls, food trucks, a coffee shop, bar and ice cream parlor in the CORE village hub. This quiet part of the island is surrounded by quaint fishing villages, traditional tavernas and pretty coastal coves. It’s 20 minutes’ drive from the town of Agios Nikolaos, which has a huge choice of eateries, a museum and traditional Cretan cobbled streets. The historical site of Knossos Palace is 1 hour away, as is the island’s international airport in Heraklion. Kids will love a visit to the CretAquarium or the Aqua Plus Water Park, which offers aquatic experiences for all ages, including dedicated children’s spaces and adults-only sections with grown-up slides!

Style Notes
Luxe living. The resort includes 40,000m2 of landscaped gardens, beautiful water features and relaxing spots to create a truly luxurious getaway. It blends design-led style with comfort, inspired by nature: furniture is crafted with naturally-fallen wood and carefully-placed windows frame the sun’s movements. The decor uses natural earth tones and the architecture references traditional Greek ideas of eternity, with domed ceilings and endless views. We love the water-side lounge deck which hovers right over the water, the chic Moët & Chandon bar and the super sleek natural stone bathrooms.

Crete, Greek Islands
Ruins, rocky outcrops and rural charm
Off the southern coast of mainland Greece, beautiful Crete is the largest of the islands, packed with rural charm, archeological sites and fabulous mountains - a land where shepherds still tend their flocks wearing traditional dress. Blow the kids’ minds at the enormous Samariá Gorge, tantalize them with tales of ancient civilization, and check out the cave where Zeus was said to have been born.
