Make style, luxury and comfort your holiday watch-words at this dreamy Crete hideaway - with board options, flights and airport transfers

Welcome to Crete, the largest of many stunning Greek islands scattered throughout the Med. In this idyllic land you'll find paradisiacal sandy beaches, rich history and heritage, soaring mountains, plummeting valleys and, needless to say, the first-class hospitality for which Greece is renowned.

You'll be staying at Aelius Hotel & Spa Sensus Experience By Lavris Group, a striking abode on Crete's northern coast, where most of the smart rooms come equipped with their own private Jacuzzis or rooftop gardens. Combine this with two amazing restaurants, poolside bars and a first-rate spa, and you'll quickly realise you're onto a winner here.

The hotel's only a 15-minute walk to Gouves Beach, where great tavernas and a wealth of exciting water sport opportunities are commonplace. If, on the other hand, you prefer a more urban buzz, Gouves' centre is right on your doorstep, with its drinking dens, eateries and traditional shops all ready to be plumbed.

  • Seven, 10 or 14 nights at Aelius Hotel & Spa By Lavris Group, Crete

  • Half-board basis, with optional all-inclusive

  • Return flights from Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Glasgow, London Gatwick, London Heathrow, Luton, Manchester, Newcastle and Stansted to Heraklion International Airport

Captivating Crete

Filled with natural wonders, ancient history and a feast of delicious local flavours, Crete ticks every box for an idyllic escape. Greece's largest island juts out of the sea with high mountain peaks at almost 2,500m tall, giving you incredible views over the Cretan ocean below, and Crete's natural beauty captivates every visitor: from the hills in the east to the imposing cliff of Chania in the west, with a new sight to fall in love with at every step.

The authentically Cretan Aelius Hotel & Spa Sensus Experience By Lavris Group is undoubtedly the final word in Mediterranean luxury. This Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice hotel comprises 30 dazzling rooms and suites, many with their own private roof gardens and Jacuzzis, and some even have direct swim-up access to the main pool. The design is uncompromisingly chic, with funky furnishings, designer accents and all of the most up-to-date amenities.

The hotel's winning formula for exquisite wining and dining involves a bountiful buffet restaurant, a trendy pool bar, and a Cretan-themed restaurant. Regardless of what time it is, or whatever dishes you find the most joy in, your culinary cravings will be well and truly satisfied here.

Elsewhere, enjoy soaking up the sun with a good read and cocktail in hand next to one of three fresh-water pools, safe in the knowledge you can take a refreshing dip whenever things heat up too much. However, should you wish to boost your relaxation levels above and beyond, the palatial spa and wellness centre promises to lull you into a state of serenity as of yet unexperienced by mere mortals.
