Malia Mare  

In the heart of Malia on Crete’s north coast, a short walk from Malia Beach Road and minutes by car to Stalis Beach and Star Beach Water Park. Address: 10 Dimokratias St., Malia, 70007, Greece — perfect for family-friendly beach days and town strolls.

A family-run 3-star with Cretan-chic interiors and modern comforts. About 33–35 spacious rooms feature private bathrooms, balconies, mini-fridges, hairdryers and safety-deposit options; air conditioning and some safes may incur a small extra charge. Cribs and irons are available on request, and daily housekeeping keeps things tidy when in season.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool, hit the swim-up bar or unwind in the whirlpool/hot tub and poolside bar. There’s a garden, lounge, cafe and a BBQ area for relaxed evenings, plus tour/ticket help and car rental. Free Wi‑Fi and parking are available on-site. Note: some facilities (pool, hot tub, bars, dining and daily housekeeping) close seasonally and the hotel is scheduled for renovations from late Oct 2024 to Apr 2025 that may affect services.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. On-site free self-parking, multilingual staff and a safe-deposit box at the front desk. Airport shuttle available for a surcharge; reception hours may vary during renovation periods.

Grab snacks at the deli or sip cocktails at the bar and poolside bar. Buffet breakfasts are served daily (8:30–10:00) for a fee, and a casual cafe rounds out light bites and coffee before you head to the beach.
