Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
Crete's original five-star resort (opened 1963), now a Design Hotels member bookable via Marriott, with whitewashed bungalows and villas scattered along 2km of Mirabello Bay coastline near Agios Nikolaos. Contemporary sculpture dots the gardens and some rooms have private rocky sea-access plateaus. It suits design-minded couples and art lovers. Small dogs stay free but with strict public-area rules.

Why it's in the collection

A waterfront walkway threads the bungalow grounds and continues roughly 1km into Agios Nikolaos town, giving a flat sea-edge lead walk past the lake and tavernas. The sprawling gardens and private rocky plateaus offer calm, shaded outdoor spots away from other guests.
