You’ll find a full menu of treatments at the Aegeo Spa, provided in an open-air gazebo for an extra dose of tranquility. Ease muscles with a massage or indulge in a traditional Minoan herbal treatment for a taste of ancient Greece. Head to the gym for a workout or opt for one of the resort’s fitness classes, which span aerobics to gymnastics, yoga and beyond. It’s also home to two floodlit tennis courts (lessons at extra charge).

On land, you can try your hand at tennis, bocce, table tennis, and water polo. The head gardener also leads tours of the grounds each week for guests wanting to learn more about the local flora and fauna, with a stop at the resort’s organic kitchen garden to hand-pick produce.  The resort also hosts various cultural and culinary experiences, from Cretan cooking classes – think bread-baking and cheese-making – to wine and olive oil tastings, grape stomping workshops and Raki-distilling lessons.

There’s a great watersports centre here; stand-up paddleboarding and canoeing are complimentary, and for a supplement you can also enjoy waterskiing, Jet Skiing, parasailing and the ‘crazy sofa’, hauled along by a speedboat. 

The resort has implemented water, energy and waste management plans and is working towards eradicating single-use plastic. Locally sourced products are used where possible to support local businesses and ensure sustainable supply chains.
