Minos Palace Resort

The Minos Palace Resort presents itself as a retreat for discerning adults who value style, privacy, and comprehensive relaxation. Located on an almost private peninsula, surrounded by Mediterranean nature and with spectacular views over the Aegean Sea, the hotel offers a combination of luxurious ambiance and health-conscious concept. The architecture and decor incorporate natural materials and soft colours - clear, modern, yet cosy. The spa and wellness area is an integral part of the offering and stands for wellbeing at the highest level. The facility is compact yet luxurious, ideal for couples or solo travellers who appreciate tranquillity and style.

The resort is quietly located on a peninsula near the town of Agios Nikolaos, in the east of Crete. Just a few minutes separate the hotel from the charming town centre with taverns, boutiques, and cafes. Thanks to its exposed location, guests enjoy fantastic views of the Mirabello Bay from almost every point of the facility.

At Minos Palace Resort & Suites, wellbeing is a key part of the culinary concept. Vitalising dishes made from fresh, seasonal ingredients are served amidst a natural setting with sea views. The "amar" restaurant combines Mediterranean recipes with modern culinary art right on the beach, while the "mom" restaurant offers all-day à la carte and buffet options for conscious indulgence. At the "nama" Pool Bar, guests can enjoy creative cocktails from "Baba au Rum", one of the World's 50 Best Bars, and the "mosa" Beach Bar offers drinks and sea views in a relaxed atmosphere. Under the motto "Dine your way", guests enjoy exclusive dinners - whether romantic on the beach, in the garden, or in complete privacy.

The 1,300 sqm NAO Longevity Spa is the centrepiece of Minos Palace Resort & Suites, embodying a holistic wellness concept for the new generation. Here, science meets mindfulness for sustainable rejuvenation, vitality, and a conscious life in harmony with body and mind.

The spa spans two levels and includes eight treatment rooms, consultation rooms, a meditation zone, and both indoor and outdoor relaxation areas. Innovative therapy rooms with photobiomodulation, vibroacoustic beds, and a cryo chamber enhance the offerings. The wellness area also features an infrared sauna, vitality pool, hot and cold plunge pools, and a unique "Emotional Tunnel" that intensifies the sensory experience.

The concept is completed with tailored longevity programmes, soothing massages, beauty and anti-aging treatments, and a focus on holistic health. The NAO Spa is much more than a traditional wellness area - it is a place where cutting-edge science and Mediterranean ease merge into an extraordinary wellbeing experience.

At the heart of Minos Palace Resort & Suites lies the NAO Wellbeing & Longevity Hub, dedicated to promoting health, vitality, and longevity. Inspired by the Greek word "nao" - "to flow" - the concept merges ancient healing knowledge with the latest findings in modern longevity research. The goal is to bring the body, mind, and cells into a state of sustainable balance and actively extend health.

The scientifically based NAO Method rests on four central pillars: nutrition, sleep, exercise, and self-development. Through precise diagnostics, biometric analyses, and tailored programs, natural regeneration processes are stimulated, cellular metabolism is optimized, and vitality is strengthened from within.

Here, scientific precision and mindfulness converge into a holistic health approach that goes beyond prevention and deliberately slows down the natural aging process. In the NAO Hub, longevity means not just living longer, but living more consciously, healthily, and fulfilled.

The result is a sustainable sense of clarity, energy, and well-being - and the opportunity to integrate newly acquired knowledge and routines into everyday life. Thus, a stay at Minos Palace Resort becomes a turning point towards greater quality of life, inner balance, and long-term health.

Active guests will find a modern gym with top-quality equipment and daily activities such as yoga, pilates, or stretching. Additionally, a tennis court, water sports options (e.g., kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, snorkelling), and bicycle rental are available.

The infinity pool with panoramic views is the highlight of the stay - situated directly above the Aegean Sea with spectacular views.

Minos Palace Resort & Suites offers numerous opportunities to make your holiday active, enjoyable, and inspiring. Guests can delve into the Mediterranean culinary world through cooking and mixology classes or a wine tasting, or enjoy unique experiences like floating dining or stylish in-room dining. Musical evenings with live DJ sets create a relaxed atmosphere at sunset.

Those wishing to explore the surroundings can participate in boat trips, diving and snorkelling tours, or hikes through impressive gorges. Visits to traditional mountain villages, the island of Spinalonga, or the charming Agios Nikolaos offer authentic insights into the culture and lifestyle of Crete. The programme is complemented by sustainable environmental activities, wine tours, and inspiring workshops in the hotel's own vegetable garden - for unforgettable experiences that enrich body, mind, and soul alike.
