Crete luxury holidays

Crete family holidays

Crete, the largest island in the Greek archipelago, is perhaps its biggest show-off. This island has 650 miles of golden coastline, dramatic mountains, picturesque villages, and a cavalcade of ancient ruins that will set any historian's heart aflutter. Few places live up their lofty reputations, but after a luxury holiday in Crete, you'll understand that this island does not underwhelm.

The biggest and, naturally, the most diverse of the Greek Islands, Crete is a great destination for families and we have excellent resorts at your disposal. Take your little adventurers to discover historical sites of wonder, extend their palette at one of the traditional Greek restaurants, or simply stroll along the thousand kilometre coastline and explore its golden beaches and coves. Our family accommodation option at Daios Cove Luxury Resort and Villas is able to house up to five children in certain rooms, as well as offering extra dining facilities and a babysitting service. Because Crete is only a short flight from the UK, this may be an excellent choice for families with impatient young ones. Is this your ideal family holiday? Get in touch to find out more.

Daios Cove

Where timeless beauty and contemporary luxury embrace

Set within its own secluded bay on Crete’s north-eastern coast, Daios Cove offers a refined sense of escape where contemporary design meets the raw beauty of the Aegean. Sheltered by rugged hills and overlooking clear blue waters, it feels calm, private and confidently upscale from the moment you arrive.

Carved into the hillside above a private beach, the resort is thoughtfully laid out to maximise sea views and a feeling of space throughout. Its architecture is modern and understated, designed to sit naturally within the landscape rather than dominate it. This creates an atmosphere that feels polished yet relaxed, appealing equally to couples seeking tranquillity and families looking for a high-quality Mediterranean resort with excellent facilities.

Accommodation spans rooms, suites and villas, many oriented towards the sea and some offering private pools for added privacy. The variety allows guests to tailor their stay, whether that means a stylish base close to the heart of the resort or a more secluded setting with additional space and independence.

Dining is a strong focus at Daios Cove, with a choice of restaurants offering Mediterranean, Cretan and international cuisine in a range of settings, from refined indoor spaces to relaxed seaside dining. This flexibility suits longer stays particularly well, allowing guests to vary their evenings without leaving the resort.

For guests seeking a more inclusive and elevated experience, The Collection provides access to enhanced accommodation alongside a residents-only club concept. This includes a comprehensive dine-around approach across the resort’s restaurants, premium drinks, and personalised service designed to create a seamless, all-inclusive stay without compromising on quality or choice.

Beyond accommodation and dining, the resort features a seawater infinity pool overlooking the bay, a well-regarded spa, water sports from the private beach, and facilities designed to cater to both adults and children. Overall, Daios Cove is best suited to travellers who value privacy, strong dining, and a contemporary luxury setting within one of Crete’s most naturally striking coastal locations.
