Overview
Phaea Blue Palace gently cascades down a hillside towards a pebbled beach on Crete’s northern coast. The modern, though authentically Cretan bungalows and suites are dotted throughout the landscaped grounds, and most accommodation boasts a private pool with breathtaking views across the Aegean Sea and Spinalonga Island. A member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World, expect Cretan family-style hospitality at this intimate resort, local dining and experiences to connect you with the surrounding landscape.
The resort stretches along the northeastern coast of Crete. From the white pebbly beach, you can enjoy spectacular views of Spinalonga, a small historical island which is five minutes away by boat. Meanwhile, the seafront tavernas and traditional ships in the small fishing village of Plaka, are five minutes away on foot. Elounda is less than three miles away, home to a bustling harbour and the incredible ancient underwater city of Olous, while Aghios Nikolaos offers vibrant nightlife around 10 miles away. Heraklion Airport is 45 miles away and Chania International Airport is 135 miles west of the property
Adorned in contemporary Grecian style, rooms and suites are elegant, with white walls, wooden flooring and wooden furniture, punctuated with pops of azure, referencing the sea beyond. Signature Rooms look out to the surrounding landscape, and some offer a glimpse of the sea, while Deluxe Bungalow Sea View rooms have stunning Aegean views and an upgrade offering a private heated pool. For more space to lounge in, opt for a Deluxe Suite Seaview, or treat yourself to a Junior Suite Private Heated Pool so you can take a cooling dip from the privacy of your own veranda. Island Suite Seaview Private Heated Pool accommodation offers a tucked away setting and local artwork, while Blue Maisonette Suite Private Heated Pool accommodation offers split level-living. All rooms come complete with luxe amenities including yoga mats and Nespresso coffee machines with complimentary capsule refills.
