Romance at St Nicolas Bay Resort Hotel & Villas

St Nicolas Bay Resort Hotel and Villas revels in old-fashioned traditions of service and hospitality, treating its guests as VIPs. Among the most popular restaurants are the Blue Bay Beach, which serves lunch along the water’s edge, the Kafenion which offers delicious Greek cuisine and à la carte menus and the Minotaure, with innovative cuisine, an impressive wine list and soft piano music.

Other onsite facilities include a Fitness and Health Centre, which features an indoor heated pool, gym, sauna, steam bath and jacuzzi. Also available are massages, aromatherapy and various wellness and beauty treatments for face and body.

Things to do Together

One of the best ways to explore Crete is by car, with many of the island’s highlights just under an hour from the resort. Some of the historical sites worth visiting are the Lassithi Plateau, the ancient Dikteon Cave where Zeus was reputedly born, and the traditional Cretan village of Kritsa.

Crete is blessed with some of the finest beaches in Greece, notably Vai Palm and Kalo Horio. Away from the beaches, some of the best sea views can be admired along the coastal road, which is only a short walk from St Nicolas Bay.

Guests who wish to dine in the town of Aghios Nikolaos should try Cretan Stars, a deluxe restaurant housed in an old mansion. Serving delicious Greek and international cuisine, Cretan Stars overlooks the harbour and a terraced garden full of bougainvillea, orange and lemon trees.

About the hotel

The island of Crete is steeped in tradition and legend – with ancient olive groves, dramatic mountains, deep gorges and temple ruins all evoking the island’s rich and illustrious history.

Nestled among an orchard of olive, lemon and orange trees, the resort’s spacious bungalows and suites are perfect for a secluded break. Rooms have been designed in the traditional Cretan style, with whitewashed walls, wooden furniture and marble bathrooms.

The Poseidon Health Club and Spa offers a range of treatments and beauty spa packages for up to five days to restore and rejuvenate, making a stay at St Nicolas Bay Resort Hotel and Villas a treat for all the senses.
