Civitel Creta Beach 4* —
Civitel Creta Beach 4* offers an idyllic seaside escape, just a short drive from Heraklion on the sun-drenched island of Crete. Nestled amid lush palm gardens and infused with an eco-conscious spirit, the hotel sits gracefully along a stretch of golden sand beach, blissfully removed from the bustle of daily life.
The atmosphere is one of understated elegance. Spend sun-drenched days in peaceful reverie or discover the rich mix of recreational amenities on offer. The beach, just steps away, sets the rhythm of your stay — but there’s as much or as little to do as you please.
Your room —
Choose between a Garden View Room or a Premium Garden View Bungalow.
Garden View Room
Comfortable and elegant, this Garden View Room is the perfect cocoon for a peaceful stay.
Premium Garden View Bungalow
With its fresh, uncluttered decor, the Premium Bungalow offers you the most pleasant view of the garden, its palm trees and its green charm, for a holiday that's all about relaxation and getting away from it all.
Your dining choices
Just for you:
- 1 complimentary à la carte dinner at Meze restaurant
This is a half board stay. Your breakfast and evening meal will be served in the main restaurant (excludes drinks).
Civitel Creta Beach invites you to taste the island’s culinary soul. At the main buffet restaurant, guests can graze on a thoughtful selection of Cretan classics, Mediterranean favourites, and comforting international dishes — all served in a relaxed, sunlit setting. For something more refined, the à la carte restaurant offers a curated menu where fresh, seasonal produce takes centre stage. Expect delicately grilled seafood, hand-picked herbs, and fine local wines served with quiet sophistication. Between swims or at sunset, the main bar and the Pool Snack Bar offer welcome shade and refreshing cocktails — perfect for lingering conversations or simply watching the light shift across the water.
Your time
At Civitel Creta Beach, leisure is more than a pastime — it's a way of life. Choose between tennis, beach volleyball, table tennis, or a quiet round of mini-golf, all just moments from your room. The sea breeze and scent of wild herbs make even the most casual matches feel invigorating.
Afterwards, cool off in the generous outdoor pool or wander down to the shore for a spot of snorkelling in the crystalline shallows. Young guests are equally well catered for with a dedicated children’s pool and open-air play area.
As dusk falls, summer evenings unfold with lively themed nights and alfresco performances under starry skies. And should the spirit of adventure call, a local bus — stopping just outside the hotel — will have you exploring Heraklion’s vibrant streets and cultural landmarks in under 15 minutes.
