Crete. An island that is rough and wild – full of light, warmth and an almost mythical silence. Here, where the land is dry and dusty, where olive trees bend to the wind, lies – like a treasure from Greek mythology – a place that is almost too beautiful to be true: the Minos Palace Resort.
Minos Palace Resort
Just 50 minutes from Heraklion Airport, the five star luxury paradise. In the midst of the dryness, an oasis blooms – minimalist, modern but with that very special energy that only places where the soul can find peace have.
It’s like stepping straight into a scene from an ancient Greek legend. And yes…I feel like a Greek goddess here.
Located on a quiet, private peninsula, the Minos Palace Resort is an exclusive adult’s only retreat that provides a wonderful setting for a relaxing experience with 360 degree sea views. Two restaurants pamper you with seasonal menus made from sustainably produced products and ingredients that are proven to be beneficial to your health.
Our suite
The 121 rooms, bungalows and 28 suites, some with private pools, the pools, the reception and the F&B area were completely renovated in 2024. The NAO Longevity Spa has been part of it since May 2025. A spa that balances science, nature and personalized care to enable guests to live longer, happier and healthier lives. NAO combines traditional healing methods with state-of-the-art diagnostics and scientifically based treatments – and positions the hotel as a new luxury wellness destination for discerning travelers.
The Minos Palace Resort costs from 232 in a double room with breakfast in the low season.
The hotel grounds are spacious – wherever you look, the sea opens up again and again. A wonderful panoramic view that lets your eyes breathe. And so much space, so much air, so much privacy. Here everyone will find their own retreat.
Pool area
Whether by the pool, on the private sandy beach, on a comfortable lounger with a parasol on a hidden section of the hotel’s coast, or relaxing in the beach lounge where you can enjoy light, healthy snacks – this place really leaves nothing to be desired. Lie by the water during the day, dine a la carte in the beach restaurant in the evening while the sun slowly sinks into the sea… all in an atmosphere that offers peace.
The Minos Palace Resort has been renovated with great flair and taste in a stylish and modern way – nothing is loud or intrusive. Everything is kept in natural colors, reduced, calming, harmonious. This is where the essentials speak.
If you are looking for a place that brings you back to yourself – and at the same time invites you to dream: then this is your place.

Minos Palace Resort in Crete
For me it was one of the most beautiful places I have seen so far. What was best? Everything, the overall package with the culinary delights as a highlight.
Thank you for your interest! Summer is just beginning now! I’ll be on the road for you again and will soon report on luxurious hideaways on Mallorca.
