Overview

A small boutique offering the services of a large luxury resort, St Nicolas Bay Resort Hotel and Villas is a beautiful and intimate retreat near Crete’s popular town Aghios Nikolaos. We love how the resort has added a contemporary twist, and yet doesn’t lose the charm of authentic Greek hospitality.

A well-deserved member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World, the accommodation at St Nicolas Bay is luxurious. Minimalist Greek décor complements the incredible garden or sea views beautifully, creating a home away from home – with a few extra luxuries, of course. All of the rooms and suites have a furnished balcony or terrace, and our favourites even include a small private pool. For the ultimate luxury, opt for one of the chic villas. Whether you stay at the Hermes’ House, Helios or Artemis Suite, you’ll enjoy a private infinity pool, kitchen and dining facilities, and your own exclusive pathway to the beach.

There is a selection of wonderful restaurants for you to sink your teeth into while you’re here. Kafenion is easily one of our favourites with its stunning waterfront location and celebration of traditional Cretan dishes, whilst Labyrinthos’ buffet offers a taste around the world – great for families with little ones.

Discover the epitome of luxury with the Olives & Sea Suites, thoughtfully situated within lush olive, fruit, and vegetable gardens. Each of these exclusive retreats boasts a private pool, with select suites offering captivating Side Sea Views, charming Harbour Views, and breathtaking Sea Views. These accommodations seamlessly harmonise with the resort's captivating surroundings, perfect for both families and friends.
