Fodele Beach & Water Park Holiday Resort

Perched on Crete’s north coast and carved into the cliffside, Fodele Beach & Water Park Resort sits by the sand about 25 km west of Heraklion Airport. This all-inclusive, family-friendly resort is on/near Fódele Beach and is a short drive from the Museum of El Greco and the village of Tylissos.

Island-style bungalows and terraces with sea views surround manicured gardens. Roughly 400–412 air-conditioned rooms offer private furnished balconies or terraces, cable/satellite TV, fridge, hair dryer and complimentary toiletries. The vibe is resort-chic and family-focused — think Balinese beach beds, poolside gazebos and wide outdoor spaces built for relaxation and play.

Highlights include a complimentary water park, three outdoor pools (one heated in low season), two children’s pools, spa with massages and facials, fitness centre and sauna, tennis courts, mini-golf, basketball and archery, plus a scuba club, playground and kids’ club. Pool, beach and snack bars keep the easy-going mood — perfect for waking up to sea-breeze mornings and sliding straight into the fun.

A 24-hour business centre and congress hall support meetings and events; 24-hour front desk, dry cleaning and free self-parking are available. Wi‑Fi is complimentary across the property, with optional high-speed access for a fee.

The resort operates on an all-inclusive basis with meals and most beverages included; a complimentary buffet breakfast is served daily (07:00–11:00). Three restaurants include Elia, offering Greek cuisine, plus pool, beach and lounge bars and a windmill snack bar. Note that some specialty dinners, select dishes or certain beverages may incur extra charges.
