Overview
Fragrant gardens lapped by azure waters and palm-fringed lagoons swirling past natural stone terraces are the hallmarks of this relaxing yet sophisticated beachfront resort that offers the highest standards of Mediterranean luxury.
Grecotel Amirandes occupies a gorgeous stretch of coast that gently curls into 2 coves of fine golden sand lapped by pristine waters. It is a perfect location, offering easy access to Heraklion International Airport and the world-famous archaeological site at the Palace of Knossos.
Back at the hotel, the Olympic size main seawater pool awaits in the garden, while a beach paradise, perfect for sunbathing or a relaxing stroll, is at your feet. For further indulgence, Elixir Spa is a sanctuary for the senses, with a fitness centre, sauna and a choice of therapies and treatments.
Exterior
The hotel is impressively modern but also leaning on traditional materials and techniques : Local stone terraces enclose palm tree adorned lagoons and pathways, around the buildings, bungalows and villas. The buildings themselves are stone, wood and glass monuments.
Lobby
The huge entrance gateway leads to a large hall from where imposing arches afford views of this magnificent property. The Elixir Spa, has a varied program of wellness and treatment using Ayurvedic techniques. The Grecoland corner is a fantastic, professionally supervised kindergarten for the younger guests. Finally, a spacious and well equipped conference hall is available for larger events.
