InterContinental Hotels & Resorts has announced that InterContinental Crete in Greece has opened its doors to welcome guests. Panoramic bay views and a rugged coastal backdrop set the scene for the brand's first in the Greek islands. Facilities include two outdoor infinity pools overlooking Mirabello Bay, three Mediterranean-inspired restaurants led by Michelin-starred Chef Consultant Nikos Roussos, a nature-inspired wellness center and various family-friendly facilities. The guestrooms—many of which have private plunge pools and interconnecting capabilities—are well-suited for couples, families or multi-generational travelers.
InterContinental Crete offers 199 guestrooms and suites in all. Guests can choose from the Classic and Premium rooms with private plunge pools, balconies, coffee-making facilities, walk-in showers and more. The suites additionally offer super king beds, furnished balconies offering views of the Mediterranean Sea, walk-in showers and added sofa beds.
InterContinental Crete houses three Greek eateries: Zeus, Knossos and Minoan. The food is complemented by a range of cocktails, and wines produced from indigenous grape varieties.
The Aegeo Spa offers a range of traditional treatments, including a Cretan massage infused with local olive oil, a saffron-infused anti-aging face and neck massage, and an antioxidant-rich cryotherapy treatment. A hammam, sauna, steam room, indoor pool and relaxation area complement the spa’s four treatment rooms, two of which are for couples. A fully equipped gym is also available.
InterContinental Crete offers concierge services, introducing guests to bespoke experiences such as excursions to the island’s archeological sites and traditional villages, gorges, vineyards and olive groves. The resort is within walking distance of the coastal city of Agios Nikolaos. Both the island’s capital, Heraklion, and Heraklion airport can be reached in under an hour.
