Property details
- Sun-drenched serenity: A warm Cretan welcome awaits at Ibiscos Garden Hotel, an eco-conscious sanctuary perfectly positioned in the historic coastal city of Rethymno. The architecture blends traditional charm with modern sustainability, housing bright rooms and apartments that feel like a true home away from home. Spend your mornings wandering the lush grounds before finding a quiet corner on your private balcony to soak up the Mediterranean sunshine.
- Local flavours: Savour the authentic taste of the island at Aretoussa, where your hotel’s commitment to natural nutrition shines through a menu of Greek and Mediterranean delights. Here, mornings begin with the aroma of coffee roasted by a local producer and bread freshly delivered from a nearby bakery, while lunch and dinner feature dishes made with ingredients from small local farmers. As evening falls, the space often transforms with the sounds of live music or the family-friendly spectacle of a weekly magic show.
- Poolside relaxation: Whether you’re looking for a refreshing morning dip or a lazy afternoon in the sun, your hotel offers two inviting main swimming pools to choose from: the Palm Pool and Jasmine Pool. While you lounge by the water, the younger ones can head to the dedicated Octopus kids' pool or two secondary splash zones. Between dips, grab a stool at one of the two pool bars to enjoy a chilled cocktail or a snack in the shade.
How to get there
The hotel is located in Rethymno on the north coast of Crete. From Chania International Airport, it is approximately a one-hour and 15-minute drive. If you are arriving via Heraklion International Airport, the journey is a little over an hour by car. We’d recommend hiring a car in order to get the most out of the beautiful area.
