Curated Luxury family friendly hotel deals in Crete

Phāea Blue, member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World is being reimagined as a boutique hotel, rooted in consciousness, innovation, and community. We offer a more intimate, personalized island experience—inviting guests to discover a truer, more timeless Greece.

Set amid Crete’s azure waters and rugged landscape, Phāea Blue has welcomed guests for over two decades with genuine Cretan warmth and hospitality.

Unmistakably Greek, the revitalized rooms and suites reflect a relaxed yet refined island aesthetic with natural materials, eclectic Greek pieces of art, private pools, a color palette drawn from the surrounding environment, and a style seasoned with historical detail.

Dining is a soulful journey into local culture. From modern Greek dishes at Anthós to seaside meals at Blue Door Taverna, every bite tells a story. Guests can harvest ingredients at the Phāea Farmers Feast or enjoy private dinners under the stars—each experience rooted in nature and connection.

We craft moments that become memories. From sunset cruises to authentic Cretan feasts, every experience honors the island’s spirit. Guided by kindness and a love for place and people, we don’t just create itineraries, we bring dreams to life.
