Overview

If you love a pool, chic interiors and laid-back luxury, then Stella Island Luxury Resort & Spa is the perfect choice. This adults-only oasis promises quality dining and relaxation in spades – making it ideal for couples and loved up honeymooners. Swanky swim-up rooms and Maldives-inspired overwater bungalows add an Insta-worthy appeal, as does the stunning north Crete location. While away slow mornings on floating day beds, book a calming afternoon spa session, then raise a glass over sunset in the dreamy a la carte restaurants. With the generous all-inclusive option, you hardly need to worry about a thing.

The resort sits in rural Analipsi on the northern coast of Crete – around four miles from Hersonissos. If you can tear yourself away from the hotel’s tranquillity, you can explore shops and restaurants by the harbour, then spend a night on the town. Otherwise, you can take a trip to Heraklion, 16 miles away, and visit sites such as Knossos Palace and the Historical Museum of Crete. Beach-wise, there’s Apselemis Beach and Analipsi Beach, both under a mile away. Heraklion International Airport is 13 miles away.

Rooms, overwater bungalows and villas are adorned with contemporary, subtle decor including furnishing made of mostly natural materials. Luxury rooms, and the more spacious Premium rooms, sit in two-storey buildings with a swim-up option on the ground floor providing direct pool access. Overwater Bungalows are particularly special with their floating terrace and overwater hammocks – great for the perfect Instagram shot. Honeymooners and couples seeking privacy can choose the Island Private Pool Villa, which comes with a sizeable private pool and an outdoor seating area. All accommodation comes with a TV, a safe, a coffee and tea set-up, bathrobes and slippers.

Other facilities

The pools wrap around little palm-tree filled islands connected by winding walkways to take you around the resort. The pure white pool lining gives the water a clear blue finish that’s utterly tempting. After a day chilling poolside, catch a live music performance in the bars, or try the weekly traditional Cretan night (extra charge).

The Anassa spa nurtures a calm atmosphere and offers a tempting array of treatments. Alternate between wet and dry heat in the hammam and sauna, then take a dip in the indoor pool – complete with glass sides. If you need to burn off steam, there’s an indoor and outdoor gym, as well as yoga and Pilates sessions. If you prefer to exercise competitively there are tennis and padel courts, in addition to beach volleyball. You can also pick up souvenirs and keepsakes from the on-site boutique.

Dining information

Savour leisurely buffet breakfasts at Kamata, looking out to the lagoon-style pool. Return for lunch and dinner and perch on the outdoor terrace which floats above the pool. You can sink your teeth into quality cuts and slow cooked meats at La Parilla. Its open kitchen gives of a convivial feel, while its wine list oozes richness.

For something more laid-back, Paraiso plates up Mexican fusion alongside blazing sunsets and calming sea views. Unami serves Japanese and Asian cuisine, prepared on a traditional Robata grill. Also in the mix is Oceania, a high-end seafood restaurant with panoramic resort views. Don’t miss dinner at Vegera – Step beneath Greek sone arches to enjoy traditional Cretan recipes with an olive-tree-packed backdrop.

There’s also an excellent selection of bars, each located steps from a pool. Private dining, in-room dining and floating breakfasts are available for a fee.
