Ariadne Beach

On Crete’s north coast, right on a sandy beach between Malia and Stalis and set among gardens — about 30 km from Heraklion (Nikos Kazantzakis) Airport. Walk to nearby beaches like Stalidas and Mallion, with Malia’s shops and nightlife a short stroll away.

A family-friendly, garden-front hotel with a mix of superior and standard rooms, studios, apartments and suites. Rooms offer terraces or balconies, private bathrooms and air conditioning; some come with sea or garden views. The vibe is relaxed and practical, with daily housekeeping, baby cots and high chairs for little travellers.

Soak in the outdoor pool or the separate children’s pool, or grab a lounger on the beach under parasols. There’s a poolside snackbar, sun terrace, children’s playground, table tennis, tennis court, gym and spa services. Wake up to sea‑breeze mornings, enjoy free parking and rely on a 24‑hour reception and on-site tour desk.

Basic business facilities and conference space are available, plus free Wi‑Fi, currency exchange and car hire to keep work and travel running smoothly.

An on-site restaurant and lobby bar serve buffet breakfast and lunch, with a poolside snack bar for lighter bites. Expect local flavours and Cretan touches alongside familiar favourites.
