Stunning Crete island stay on the south coast

• Coastal style: Effortlessly inspiring, the Paralos Irini Mare welcomes you into its gorgeous ambience, where you'll be impressed by the beautiful island scenery, as well as the chic interior design. Rooms and suites combine Mediterranean coastal charm with contemporary comfort. In addition to high-quality design elements made from natural materials, you can also expect amenities such as a flat-screen TV, pillow menu and coffee station.

• Tranquil moments: With picturesque natural beauty and a beachside location, you're in the perfect setting to relax. Head to one of the pools for a refreshing dip; will you opt for the pool with the integrated jacuzzi, the quiet pool with its infinity view or the pool infused with healthful magnesium minerals? And that’s not the only way to unwind - whether it's enjoying a sauna session, indulging in a massage, training in the indoor-outdoor fitness area or trying a fun painting lesson - there's something for everyone (fees may apply).

• Culinary pleasure: At breakfast, lunch and dinner, the hotel's refined cuisine focuses on fresh, regional ingredients, mostly sourced from local farms. Dine amidst the olive trees at the contemporary main restaurant, which wows with live cooking stations, or sample Cretan specialties at the à la carte restaurant, where the menu incorporates produce from the hotel’s own herb and vegetable garden. Throughout the day, the pool bar will keep you refreshed, whilst evening calls for a cocktail at the sunset lounge bar, looking out across the village.
