Minos Beach Art Hotel, a five-star retreat and proud Member of Design Hotels, nestles along the waterfront of Agios Nikolaos in Crete, blending the architectural charm of local fishermen's villages with contemporary artistry.
The collection of one-story bungalows, suites, and exclusive villas, including a presidential villa and three executive villas with private pools, evokes Cycladic simplicity with whitewashed walls and minimalist interiors. Each accommodation features handcrafted wooden details, cotton textures, and modern comforts like LCD TVs, with select units offering indulgent spa baths. Private terraces, some mere steps from the sea, invite guests to savour the gentle rhythm of the tides and the serene beauty of the bay.
Set within lush gardens woven with narrow stone paths, the hotel showcases 45 works of contemporary Greek and international artists, part of the Minos Beach Art Symposium, transforming the grounds into an open-air gallery. Guests can lounge by inviting pools, swim in the crystalline bay, or explore the coastline through canoeing and diving. The health and beauty centre offers tailored treatments, blending Feng-Shui elements with soothing therapies. Dining unfolds at the waterfront restaurant, where fresh seafood and haute cuisine celebrate Crete's culinary heritage, paired with a curated selection of wines. The on-site bar crafts artisanal cocktails, perfect for evenings under the starlit sky, while a daily breakfast of local flavours elevates each morning.
Located just 800 meters from the heart of Agios Nikolaos and 45 minutes from Heraklion Airport, Minos Beach Art Hotel offers easy access to Elounda Village and Crete's vibrant coastal attractions, making it a seamless base for exploring the island's cultural treasures.
