Resort Description
Nestled near the beautiful village of Plaka, the Phāea Blue is a fantastic accommodation choice in eastern Crete. The hotel cascades down the hillside toward a private, Blue-Flagged pebbled beach. The sea views are breathtaking, ideal for the ultimate relaxing holiday.
Accommodations comprise 47 bungalows, suites, and villas, many of which feature private heated pools. All rooms are equipped with lovely amenities, such as yoga mats for wellness enthusiasts and Nespresso coffee machines. Their three-bedroom villa comes with private chef and butler services.
The hotel offers signature activities such as the Phāea Farmers Feast, where guests can pick fresh ingredients alongside the chef and prepare their meal in a shaded garden. Alternatively, the beachfront Blue Door Taverna and the award-winning Anthos Restaurant serve traditional Cretan dishes with the special touch of renowned chefs.
Guests can enjoy yoga and Pilates sessions in a dedicated outdoor pavilion surrounded by nature, take advantage of the spa and wellness centre, or work out in the indoor and outdoor gyms. The large infinity pool comes with panoramic sea views. Water sports are also available, including scuba diving. The resort offers amenities designed for families, including a children’s playground and a movie area, making it suitable for guests of all ages.
Phāea’s location is ideal for exploring eastern Crete. It is a short walk from the village of Plaka, where excellent fish tavernas line the waterfront, overlooking Spinalonga. While in Plaka, we recommend visiting the cutest Aqua Blue Shop, where everything sold is blue, from clothing to personal and household items. The resort is also minutes from Elounda’s harbour, and Agios Nikolaos, the area’s largest town, offering nightlife and shopping.
