Crete
Domus Renier Boutique Hotel
A boutique townhouse in Chania's Venetian port
The Domus Renier Boutique Hotel has an enviable position on the sweeping waterfront of Chania’s Venetian harbour, the building itself the former home to the Reniers, one of Venice’s leading noble families.
There are just nine rooms and suites, each a unique blend of period features and modern comforts. Most enjoy views of the harbour and Egyptian Lighthouse while a couple have jacuzzis.
You couldn’t be better placed to explore Chania’s old town, either on foot or on the Renier’s bicycles. You can also take boat cruises out to Crete’s hidden beaches or (between October and March) learn the secrets of Cretan cuisine on cooking lessons and market tours with the restaurant’s wonderful chef.

Places to combine Domus Renier Boutique Hotel with
Crete
Domes of Elounda is an inviting Mediterranean sanctuary in Crete. Settled on a hillside, the beachfront resort offers picture-perfect views out over the turquoise waters and Spinalonga Isle. A stay at Domes of Elounda is all about space, privacy and service with a personal touch.
The design and decor is built around natural wood, earth tones, domed ceilings and windows that make the most of the sun’s path and changing hues. Relax in a Jacuzzi, lounge beside the hanging infinity pool, or take a stroll through the olive grove.
The hotel is also one of the best choices for families travelling with kids – there are exhaustive activities and educational experiences to keep little ones busy all day long while adults get pampered at the spa or sip cocktails at the pool bar.
Crete
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.
