Phāea Blue - Small Luxury Hotels of the World  

In Plaka on Crete’s northeastern coast, a short walk from Plaka Beach and the marina. Minutes from Agios Nikolaos and Elounda, with easy access to Spinalonga Island and nearby sandy coves. A family-friendly seaside base for exploring the coast and local ruins.

Rooms are island-inspired and air-conditioned with minibars, TVs, bathrobes and slippers, complimentary bottled water and in-room toiletries. The décor leans on natural materials and local touches for a relaxed island vibe. Many guests enjoy sea-facing perspectives toward the surrounding islands.

Outdoors and indoors both call for a dip — there are outdoor and indoor pools plus a poolside bar. Rejuvenate in the spa with massages, steam bath and sauna or keep fit in the 24-hour gym. Active options include a diving club, bike rental and table tennis; a library and kids’ playroom add downtime variety. Free Wi‑Fi is available throughout, with on-site parking and valet services.

A business center and meeting/board rooms make working easy, backed by concierge services, express check-out and complimentary Wi‑Fi for staying connected.

Three on-site outlets serve local cuisine, plus a café for snacks and a poolside bar for cocktails. A complimentary buffet breakfast is offered each morning (7:00–11:00), and limited room service is available for later stays.
