About the rooms

The rooms, bungalows and villas are spread along the coast and among the greenery. Inside, soft earthy tones, natural materials and an open layout create a calm atmosphere. Large windows and terraces keep the connection with the outdoors close at all times. You stay right by the sea. Some bungalows are set directly on the water, with sunbeds on your private terrace. A few steps outside is all it takes to reach the coast.

Our favourite room

Our favourite room is the Waterfront Bungalow. A private terrace by the sea, sunbeds right by the water and complete privacy. In the morning, coffee overlooking the bay, in the evening, you sit outside a little longer until it gets dark.

Enjoy a refreshing swim

Minos Beach Art Hotel is located directly by the sea. Across the property, small platforms and coves are spread out, making it easy to enter the water. There is also a large outdoor swimming pool, not heated. Ideal for a calm start to the day or a refreshing swim in the afternoon.

Work out and wind down

The spa features three treatment rooms, a sauna and a steam bath. You book a massage or treatment and then take some time in the relaxation area. Not an extensive wellness, but everything you need to truly unwind. Those who like to stay active can head from the hotel towards Agios Nikolaos for a short walk along the coast or through the village. On the property itself, it is easy to spend a few hours: swimming, walking by the water or simply easing into your day by the sea.

Children

Children are welcome. Babysitting and adapted children’s menus are available on request.
