With unparalleled views of the Aegean and an atmosphere of effortless serenity, Phāea Blue Palace is the only boutique hotel in Crete situated directly on the beach.
Each room and suite is curated with natural materials, handcrafted Greek artwork and a colour palette inspired by he surrounding sea, sand and olive groves. Some feature private pools, while others open onto terraces that frame uninterrupted views of the horizon.
Step onto the hotel’s private 200-meter pebble beach, where wooden decks and plush loungers invite leisurely afternoons under the sun. Meanwhile the spa offers a collection of treatments inspired by ancient Greek wellness rituals as well as yoga and pilates sessions that take place under the open sky.
Dining at Phāea Blue Palace is an immersive journey into the culinary heritage of Greece. At Anthós, the hotel’s signature open-air restaurant, chefs prepare exquisite dishes in a live kitchen using the finest local ingredients. For an intimate seafood experience, The Blue Door evokes the charm of a traditional Greek taverna, where the catch of the day is served just steps from the water’s edge. The Phāea Farmers Feast invites you to savour farm-to-table creations, where time-honoured cooking techniques celebrate the island’s fertile land and rich gastronomic traditions. As twilight descends, the scenic Votsalo Bar, perched above the sea, beckons with artisanal cocktails and a thoughtfully curated selection of Greek wines, offering a front-row seat to the spectacular Aegean sunset.
