Enorme Santanna Beach  

Perched above the Cretan Sea just outside Ierapetra, this contemporary beachfront retreat delivers sweeping sea views and easy access to the town. Walk or drive to local beaches and historic spots like the Ierapetra Archaeological Museum and the Venetian Fort. Nearest airports include Sitia and Nikos Kazantzakis (Heraklion).

Contemporary design and theatrical sea vistas set the mood — think almost 180° ocean panoramas and an infinity main pool framed by daybeds. Rooms run from comfortable Doubles to Superiors, with select rooms offering private pools and bali beds. Interiors are modern and airy, with air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, safes and desks.

Soak in a seasonal outdoor infinity pool that gazes out to the sea. Recharge at the on-site spa with massages, body treatments and facials. Stay active in the fitness center or dive with the local club. There’s a beach bar, poolside bar and lounge for sunset cocktails, plus concierge, wedding services, tour desk and free self-parking. Complimentary buffet breakfast is served each morning.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. The hotel also offers a 24-hour front desk and multilingual staff for seamless arrivals and transfers.

A main restaurant features buffet stations and show-cooking on a terrace beneath the pool with unforgettable sea views. On-site options include a coffee shop/cafe and multiple bars. Menus highlight Greek and Mediterranean flavors alongside international choices, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options available. Buffet breakfast is served daily from 7:30–10:30.
