King Minos  

Retreat Resort & Spa

Hersonissos, Crete 

Built amphitheatrically, on a verdant slope above Hersonissos, King Minos Retreat Resort & Spa is a member of the GOLDEN Hotels & Resorts group. After the recent renovation which highlighted the architecture of the complex, the existing hotel has been upgraded to a 5-star resort, creating a special hospitality experience in a unique natural landscape with an unobstructed view of the Aegean Sea that offers unique images, in an environment characterized by discreet luxury.

The hotel unit includes 142 rooms and suites, wellness areas and communal dining and recreation areas. The rooms are located in the main building and the bungalows, on staggered levels that allow the development of private "gardens" with private pools, with views either to the sea, or to the green gardens and the central pool.
