Set above the serene Mirabello Bay, this stunning resort is designed to connect guests with the rhythm of nature, Greek tradition, and refined relaxation. Think olive groves, calming architecture, and unforgettable views of the Aegean.
The resort features 160 rooms and suites, many with private pools and sweeping sea views. The design draws inspiration from traditional Cretan homes—stone walls, earthy tones, and open-air courtyards—paired with all the comforts of a modern, five-star stay.
Guests can explore six restaurants and bars, each offering locally inspired menus with a luxury twist. Whether you’re sipping wine by the sea or enjoying fresh seafood by candlelight, every meal is designed to celebrate Crete’s rich culinary heritage.
The JW Spa is a standout—featuring an indoor-outdoor design that merges natural textures with panoramic coastal views. Holistic treatments, a hammam, and wellness experiences rooted in ancient traditions round out the offering.
For those who prefer to stay active, the resort includes a full gym, sunrise yoga sessions, and guided hikes through nearby coastal trails.
In a time when travel is often rushed, JW Marriott Crete invites guests to slow down, savor the moment, and reconnect—with nature, with themselves, and with those they love. It’s a place designed not just for rest, but for presence.
