Soothing rooms, show-stopping cuisine and gin-clear waters, Daios Cove Luxury Resort and Villas offers an idyllic retreat set in jaw-droppingly wild surrounding. Here’s why you should get cosy in the cove

Unbridled beauty

Unbridled beauty

Bone-warming sunshine and smouldering blue waves are to be expected in Crete, but at Daios Cove Luxury Resort and Villas the island’s natural beauty still manages to surprise at every turn. At this secluded island resort, relishing a quiet moment in the heated infinity seawater pool is just as sublime as a day spent exploring an underwater shipwreck, or getting your pulse racing on the hotel’s tennis courts. If you’re keen to explore Crete’s glittering bays and hidden coves, the hotel’s Water Sports Centre can arrange a day trip on a private yacht or catamaran, or – for high-octane thrills – cast off on a luxury rib-boat trip around Mirabello Bay’s most coveted coves.

Days of heavy-duty beach-basking will fire up anyone’s appetite, for which Daios Cove is fully prepped with the option of six bars and restaurants offering outstanding farm-to-table produce and an inspired selection of menus. At Ocean Restaurant savour fresher-than-fresh seafood steeped in unctuous Mediterranean flavours, while at The Beach House – the hotel’s most recent addition – expect world-class hospitality, local dishes featuring influences from the Far East, and a relaxed, open-air lounge area with dazzling views across the Mediterranean surf.

For a restorative break, the Goco Spa Daios Cove is the panacea you’ve been looking for. Spread across 2,500 sq m, the space is home to a luxuriant 146 sq m heated pool with hydro movement facilities, plus an ultra-modern vitality pool, a Finnish sauna, plus Mediteranneo and Nimfea reaction showers that will help get you back to ‘centre’, leaving you feeling energised and invigorated for the day ahead. Sink into an ever more relaxed state with the spa’s bespoke treatments, from Thai massage that uses ancient compression and stretching techniques, to an Anne Semonin hydrating facial using aloe vera from local farms.
