Unwind on the Cretan coast at a eco-chic resort with two shimmering swimming pools - includes breakfast, dinner, and a welcome drink
-
Sun-drenched serenity: A warm Cretan welcome awaits at Ibiscos Garden Hotel, an eco-conscious sanctuary perfectly positioned in the historic coastal city of Rethymno. The architecture blends traditional charm with modern sustainability, housing bright rooms and apartments that feel like a true home away from home. Spend your mornings wandering the lush grounds before finding a quiet corner on your private balcony to soak up the Mediterranean sunshine.
-
Local flavours: Savour the authentic taste of the island at Aretoussa, where your hotel’s commitment to natural nutrition shines through a menu of Greek and Mediterranean delights. Here, mornings begin with the aroma of coffee roasted by a local producer and bread freshly delivered from a nearby bakery, while lunch and dinner feature dishes made with ingredients from small local farmers. As evening falls, the space often transforms with the sounds of live music or the family-friendly spectacle of a weekly magic show.
-
Poolside relaxation: Whether you’re looking for a refreshing morning dip or a lazy afternoon in the sun, your hotel offers two inviting main swimming pools to choose from: the Palm Pool and Jasmine Pool. While you lounge by the water, the younger ones can head to the dedicated Octopus kids' pool or two secondary splash zones. Between dips, grab a stool at one of the two pool bars to enjoy a chilled cocktail or a snack in the shade.
How to get there
The hotel is located in Rethymno on the north coast of Crete. From Chania International Airport, it is approximately a one-hour and 15-minute drive. If you are arriving via Heraklion International Airport, the journey is a little over an hour by car. We’d recommend hiring a car in order to get the most out of the beautiful area.
Entry requirements
The passport, visa and health requirements at the time of booking can be viewed on the Foreign and Commonwealth Office website for UK citizens, and on the Department of Foreign Affairs website for IE citizens. 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.

Rethimno
The beautiful island of Crete offers a diverse landscape of rugged mountains and over 1,000 kilometres of spectacular coastline. In Rethymno, you are perfectly placed to explore a 12-kilometre stretch of organised sandy beaches, including a Blue Flag-certified strip just a five-minute walk from your door. Take a sunset stroll along the newly built promenade, where the reflections on the Mediterranean Sea create a truly kaleidoscopic backdrop.
A 20-minute walk brings you to the heart of Rethymno’s Old Town, a treasure trove of Venetian and Ottoman history. Wander through narrow alleys to find the imposing Fortezza fortress or the picturesque Old Venetian Port, lined with atmospheric cafés and boutiques. For a touch of culture, the Erofili Theatre tucked inside the fortress walls hosts various performances and festivals throughout the summer months.
