Cretan crown jewel: Immersed in lush Mediterranean gardens and flanked by the sea on one side and the dazzling Cretan landscape on the other, Coriva Beach Hotel & Bungalows is the ultimate secluded island retreat. Ideally located on one of the island’s award-winning beaches, the hotel is a happy marriage of timeless tradition and modern comfort, with a cobbled path tracing its way past olive trees, whitewashed buildings and beautiful stone arches, while inside sleek contemporary décor features soothing earth tones, clean lines and luxury touches for a taste of authentic Greek-island chic.

Beachfront bliss: There’s plenty of room here to unwind in an inspired setting, with a beautiful lounger-strewn sundeck framing the glittering outdoor pool. Enviably positioned right along one of Crete’s most coveted beaches, you won’t have to look far for refreshing sea swims and long beach walks, while the stunning surrounds are the perfect backdrop for whiling away the hours with a book. And should you decide to get exploring, the marvels of Ierapetra and turquoise waters of Chrissi Island are a nearby must.

Oceanfront eats: The Main Restaurant is your go-to for tantalising buffet eats at breakfast and beyond, with floor-to-ceiling sea views and a range of regional and international specialties on offer. Elsewhere, sample the world-famous Mediterranean diet with a Cretan twist at the multi-award-winning Pelagos Seaside Restaurant, serving mouthwatering local and Mediterranean dishes that celebrate fresh, raw, and locally-sourced ingredients. Step right onto the beach to dine as the waves lap against the shore, and savour each and every magical sunset with a glass from the meticulously-curated wine list.
How to get thereLocated near Ierapetra on Crete’s southern coast, the hotel is an hour and a half’s drive from Heraklion Airport in the island’s capital. Alternatively, Chania International Airport is about four hours’ drive away.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you and all members of your party are in possession of all necessary travel and health documents, and in compliance with any other immigration/entry requirements before you travel, including whether your passport must be machine readable or which visas/waivers may be required for entry, such as ESTA for USA travel and/or ETIAS for EU travel.

Koutsounari
Crete’s spectacular southern coast is at your fingertips here, and you’ll find no shortage of sweeping landscapes and cultural hotspots to choose from. Start with a breezy 15-minute drive to the nearby town of Ierapetra, known as the southernmost town in Europe, where must-see sights include the 13th-century Venetian fortress and awe-inspiring archaeological museum. Stroll through the historic Kato Mera district to see centuries-old Byzantine churches brush shoulders with an Ottoman mosque in a testament to the town’s colourful history (look out for the house where Napoleon spent one night), and don’t miss a saunter down the beautiful seafront promenade.
For nature-lovers and adventure-seekers, your hotel is a great launchpad for exploring several of the island’s natural highlights. Between May and October, regular boats run from Ierapetra to Chrissi Island, an uninhabited nature reserve famous for its pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters and abundant forest. Further out, inland attractions include the striking Milonas, Achlia and Orino gorges, the traditional village of Mirtos, and the island’s bustling capital Heraklion an hour and a half’s drive away.
