Hotel information
Here you'll discover a fantastic property situated in the picturesque location of Daios Cove.
Set on a hillside overlooking its private tranquil bay and sandy beach on the north-east coast of Crete, the resort provides guests with a unique example of the charm of the traditional villages found throughout the islands of Greece alongside superb accommodation staggered across the hillside to showcase the amazing sea views, something Ahmed Ali was blown away by.
The villas are exceptionally located for enjoying the bay views and all have a private seawater pool. Deluxe Sea View Rooms are a great choice, enjoying a generous balcony, perfect for taking in their sea vistas and with their open living room area giving a truly spacious feel. The crème de la crème is The Mansion; an epic private villa set in a secluded spot on the hillside with an infinity pool that melts into the horizon. Immerse yourself in the cooling waters of the resort’s impressive infinity pool or take to the adults-only pool to soak up the glorious Grecian sunshine in peace.
Take to the waters of the resort’s impressive infinity pool and an adults-only pool, complete with a wet bar, to soak up the sun.
There is also a sundeck and pier, and the beach has clean sands lapped by sparkling waters, with servers on hand to ensure you needn’t leave your sun lounger all day, and new beach cabanas allowing for spa treatments at the water’s edge. And speaking of the spa, the truly exceptional GOCO ‘Spa Daios Cove’ is a vast space of private treatment rooms, cutting-edge therapies, two indoor pools and a Finnish sauna.

The resort has created a homely atmosphere through its accommodation, with complimentary in-room tea and coffee service, all natural cotton linen and towels, and king-sized beds. Smaller families have a choice of the Deluxe Sea View Rooms or the Junior Sea View Suites. Larger families or families with older children can choose between One or Two Bedroom Suites. While extended families or families travelling together are easily accommodated within the spacious Villas and can enjoy exclusive services for villa guests through the Cove Club Concept.
Facilities for children are quite extensive with the Daios Creche for little ones from 4 months to 3 years old, and the Daios Kids Club for 4 to 11-year-olds. Concentrating on games and toys with age-appropriate activities, children will have a great time in the creche or club. Both the creche and kids club are managed by the Worldwide Kids Company, and operated by professionally trained staff, while the kids club also has multi-lingual staff creating activities for children.
Adults have just as much to do as the children. The Spa by Germaine de Capuccini has treatments and facilities to calm the mind, cleanse the body and rejuvenate the soul. Or exercise those muscles in the state of the art fitness centre, with a choice of saunas and the stimulating Wet Area. The local countryside has beautiful walks calling out to be discovered for the explorer in you. Alternatively, lie back on one of the sunbeds on the private beach and enjoy the Crete sun and cool off in the crystalline waters of the Aegean Sea, or enjoy a drink at your pool sun lounger from the pool bar.
An Early Supervised Supper for kids 4-12 is offered in the main restaurant Pangea by the nannies of WWKC (runs throughout the summer school holidays 6-7pm and for the rest of the season 6 times a week).
