Alexander Beach Hotel & Village 5* —
Just for you:
- 1 x bottle of wine upon arrival in room (per room, per stay)
Nestled along the shimmering northern coastline of Crete, Alexander Beach Hotel & Village 5* is a timeless seaside sanctuary where modern elegance meets centuries-old island heritage. Established in the 1990s, this graceful resort occupies a stretch of golden sand in the charming village of Malia, famed for its Minoan archaeological site that whispers tales of ancient civilisation just beyond its horizon.
Palm-lined walkways lead through whitewashed buildings framed by bougainvillaea, while the Aegean’s crystalline waters lie only a few steps from your room. By day, the soft hum of waves seems to echo the rhythms of local life; by night, the starlit beach and gentle coastal breeze evoke a tranquil, barefoot luxury that feels both classic and utterly Cretan.

With gentle marine hues and thoughtfully styled interiors, it wraps you in a peaceful seaside essence that feels both breezy and blissfully rooted in its coastal setting.
Comfort Sea View Room (23 m²)

Settle in your Luxury Superior Beach Front Room and bask in the gentle glow of a Cretan sunset from your private terrace, where the sea’s soft murmur becomes your evening soundtrack and the horizon feels within arm’s reach.
Your dining choices
This is a full board stay. Your breakfast, lunch and evening meal will be served in the main restaurant (excludes drinks).

When the sun sinks, the Beach Restaurant & Bar Mediterraneo is the perfect spot to indulge in light Greek or international fare as the waves gently lap nearby. Afterwards, retire to Dionysos Lobby Bar for evening aperitifs, Poseidon Pool Bar to soak up live entertainment, or Apollo Cocktail Bar for cocktails with a sea-kissed backdrop.
