A glamorous beachside resort, this stunning property is uniquely styled after the water palaces of the Cretan nobility.
With designs incorporating water, marble, stones and wood, there is an air of coolness and tranquillity here. Wildlife abounds too, with a nature reserve to one side, an intimate sandy cove on the other and sea lagoon in the centre, balanced by the leafy green of olive trees.
The palatial feel flows through into the guest accommodation, with a fabulous choice of rooms, suites and bungalows on offer, as well as superb villas for larger parties or discerning clients looking for more space and privacy. Whether you are looking to be close to the pool, want a perfect sea view or to indulge with a private heated pool, the Black Opal team can find the perfect spot for you.
We can certainly vouch for the wow factor of the cuisine here too, with fabulous food on offer at the ten bars and restaurants. Signature dining covers a world of flavours, from Italian menus at the arty setting of Minotaur to oriental delicacies at trendy Blue Monkey.
Of course, you’ll find a choice too of Cretan cuisine and traditional Greek fish favourites, with amazing settings from beachfront to a floating platform over the lagoon. A unique experience is also available at the local Agreco farm Taverna, which highlights the farm to table concept with fresh ingredients on the curated seasonal menu. For refreshments, savour a cocktail by the pool by day, at the beach bar at sunset or in one of the trendy sunken lounges on a balmy evening.
Adventures are also on your doorstep, with a multitude of activities on site, including tennis, basketball, yoga and gym, plus nearby there’s horse riding and mountain biking available. If it’s relaxation you are seeking, reserve one of the cool poolside gazebos or head to the sanctuary of the Amirandes Elixir Alchemy Spa for some pampering.
