In Crete’s enchanting landscape, adults-only spa hotels like the ones we’re about to discover offer a sanctuary for those seeking tranquility and, why not, some affordable luxury.

19

This not so new, but so enduring concept is tailored for all of us who yearn for peaceful retreats where wellness and relaxation are paramount, away from the lively energy of family resorts. It’s all about creating intimate spaces for rejuvenation, connecting with others, or simply enjoying the serene beauty of Crete.

Each hotel, from the sustainable elegance of Acro Suites to the eco-chic Seaside A Lifestyle Resort, is designed to harmonize with its surroundings, providing a peaceful haven where adults can indulge in bespoke wellness experiences with relatively reasonable pricing.

Set against the backdrop of Crete’s rugged landscape, just a short drive from Heraklion, this exclusive adults-only retreat has 49 suites and villas, each with its own private plunge pool. The sustainability-friendly hotel’s architecture pays homage to the region’s natural beauty, using organic elements and local materials such as reclaimed wood and stone. At the heart of the hotel’s dining experience is Cremnos restaurant, with a menu centered on a contemporary version of traditional Greek cuisine and an emphasis on fresh, local ingredients.

Vibes: A harmonious fusion of natural beauty and sophisticated design characterizes this exclusive escape. The resort’s layout, gracefully cascading down the hillside, allows guests to immerse themselves in serenity, enhanced by panoramic views of Mononaftis Bay. The interiors, with cool tones, marble and custom wood furnishings, are a reflection of the Cretan landscape. Guests can choose to walk or use a golf cart to navigate the property’s lush paths. A natural light-filled lobby lined with hammocks, a lagoon-like pool, and attentive service epitomize the resort’s chic, relaxation-honoring spirit.

Spa: The spa features a Moroccan-style bathhouse hammam with heated marble beds under a domed roof, sauna, Jacuzzi, and a courtyard pool with unparalleled sea views surrounded by sonorous trickling water channels. The signature 80-minute hammam treatment concludes with herbal tea served with views of the Aegean.

Inspired by the historic domes of Chania’s Venetian shipyard, this resort stands out with its unique architecture featuring spacious areas and high ceilings. The layout includes rooms and suites centered around two large pools, providing guests with plenty of space to relax. Located in Kato Daratso, directly on its private sandy beach and close to famous beaches like Elafonisi, the hotel offers both privacy and easy access to natural attractions. As a member of the Autograph Collection, this adults-only hotel with 78 rooms provides an upscale, women-friendly environment.

Vibes: The vibe is laid-back and modern, with DJs spinning chilled house tracks by the pool, bean bags for lounging on the beach, and outdoor fitness classes for a bit of activity. The property keeps everything neat, with comfortable seating areas near the pools—one even has a swim-up bar and impressive sea views. Guests can look forward to enjoying champagne and ‘Neo Greek Seafood’ by the pool. Rooms and suites are designed to maximize comfort and offer views of the sea and islands.

Spa: For relaxation, the Soma Spa comes equipped with a plunge pool, steam room, sauna, and a selection of revitalizing treatments, beauty rituals, deep tissue massages, and detoxification therapies. The gym offers outdoor sessions like body conditioning, body sculpting, functional circuit training and sunrise yoga sessions.
