The Royal Blue A Luxury Beach Resort
A striking emblem of refined contemporary opulence, The Royal Blue A Luxury Beach Resort stands proudly along the northern coast of Crete, overlooking a tranquil marina and expansive sandy beach. Upon arrival, guests are welcomed into an expansive glass atrium that bathes the lobby in a cascade of natural light, fringed by gleaming white décor accentuated with quirky elements like branch-like chandeliers and shimmering water features. This harmonious blend of traditional Cretan design and modern aesthetic sets the tone for an indulgent yet infinitely relaxing experience. As you wander through the lush grounds, the allure of several pools invites you to unwind amid verdant vegetation. With a focus on serenity and exclusivity, the soft sounds of water echo while you enjoy swimming, sunbathing, or engaging in water sports, free from the bustling crowds typical of resort life. Dining is elevated here-begin your day at the Symposium restaurant with a bountiful breakfast buffet featuring everything from fresh Cretan apaki to pancakes, or indulge in a culinary odyssey across four signature restaurants, including a unique dining venue set in a cave.

“In my opinion, this adults-only beachfront resort cultivates tranquility through its private bay and lush grounds, with multiple pools inviting relaxation; I noticed the unique cave restaurant and the focus on wellness add distinction. The setting is ideal for couples or anyone seeking a peaceful retreat with attentive service. I think that its location is a great starting point to explore Crete.”
