Overview

Styled like a historical Minoan Palace, Amirandes A Grecotel Resort To Live is an elegant beachfront resort that delivers family-friendly luxury. The Olympic-sized pool, serene spa and scenic beachfront are popular with adults, while children can enjoy an array of exciting activities and facilities. With several stylish restaurants – one displaying a private collection of Picasso originals – you can enjoy a variety of cuisines during your holiday.

Located in the quiet area of Kato Gouves, Grecotel Amirandes boasts a peaceful setting with palm-fringed stone walkways and gardens outlined by sprawling lagoons. The hustle and bustle of Heraklion’s centre and the iconic Minoan Palace of Knossos are around 14 miles away. You can also visit the town of Hersonissos, which is under five miles away – or tee off at the Crete Golf Course, which lies about ten miles away. Heraklion Airport is 11 miles distance from the resort.

The elegant accommodation exudes an earthy vibe, decorated with neutral tones. Standard features include flat-screen TVs, minibars, tea and coffee facilities and furnished outdoor spaces with garden or sea views. In bathrooms you’ll find a separate tub and shower, plus organic toiletries, bathrobes and slippers. Choose between Superior and Luxury Rooms or spacious bungalows and suites. Some accommodation includes a private pool, and Luxury Rooms provide more space. Family Suites are even larger, offering a private pool and sliding doors between the living and main bedroom areas.
