Property details

A contemporary abode overlooking the Cretan coast with a wellness hub and pool - includes breakfast, optional dinner, and optional private pool suites
  • Cosmopolitan coastal living: Housed in a crisp, modern building overlooking the turquoise Cretan Sea, Axel Beach Crete is an inviting sanctuary designed for peaceful island living. This adults-only bolthole captures a boutique soul with its open-concept design, where mountain backdrops meet the deep blue of the Aegean.

  • Banquet for the gods: The hotel’s social heart beats at the vibrant Sky Bar, an elevated poolside retreat where daytime relaxation transitions into evening energy. Soak up the high Aegean sun with a signature cocktail in hand, enjoying the refreshing sea breeze. When hunger strikes, the Sky Bar Restaurant serves up fresh Mediterranean and international flavours alongside equally impressive views.

  • Wellness and rejuvenation: Elevate your relaxation with a trip to your hotel’s dedicated wellness hub, a tranquil space designed to soothe and restore. Flit between the Finnish sauna, Jacuzzi and the hammam, or indulge in a range of muscle-melting treatments and massages (fees apply). For those who prefer to keep active, there’s a well-equipped fitness centre too.

How to get there

The hotel is located in Hersonissos, approximately a 20-minute drive from Heraklion International Airport by taxi or rental car. Heraklion Port is also just a 30-minute drive away.

The seaside town of Hersonissos is a vibrant gateway to Crete’s northern coast, where ancient history meets modern leisure. You’re perfectly positioned to explore the Old Town area, where traditional tavernas and quiet squares offer a taste of authentic island life. For a deeper dive into the past, the Lychnostatis Open Air Museum is just a short trip away, showcasing Cretan folk heritage, or you can head to the impressive Aposelemi Gorge for a scenic hike through the rugged local landscape.
