5-star seafront resort with a Michelin-starred chef overlooking Mirabello Bay

Dining with a Michelin-Starred Chef

Intercontinental Crete by IHG operates two restaurants, both overseen by 2** Michelin-starred Chef-Consultant Nikos Roussos. Greek cuisine at the hotel's eateries highlights seasonality and the Cretan culinary heritage through dishes made with local ingredients. The a la carte dinner menu offers new taste sensations within a setting that reflects the chef's commitment to modern Greek food.

500m2 Spa Centre for Holistic Wellness

The Intercontinental Hotel Crete hosts a 500m2 Spa Centre that offers a holistic approach going beyond beauty to focus on health, stress reduction, and recuperation. Services include body treatments, facials, massages (back, full body, foot, neck, head, hand), a hammam, sauna, steam room, and a spa lounge/relaxation area. Guests can also use the indoor swimming pool (Pool 3) located within the spa complex for additional relaxation.

Three Swimming Pools with Sea Views

The hotel has three swimming pools: two outdoor (one infinity pool on the 5th floor and one rooftop pool on the 9th floor with a pool bar) plus one indoor pool in the spa. The 5th-floor infinity pool overlooks Mirabello Bay and measures nearly Olympic length, while the 9th-floor adults-only pool offers a quieter atmosphere with cocktails. Sun loungers and umbrellas are available poolside, and pool/beach towels are provided.

Beachfront Location & Local Excursions

Intercontinental Crete is set along the seafront in Agios Nikolaos, offering views over Mirabello Bay and direct access to Ammoudi Beach and Ammos Beach less than a 10-minute walk away. The hotel organizes walking tours to Minoan archaeological sites, the Palace of Knossos, traditional villages, gorges, vineyards, and olive groves. Lake Voulismeni, a popular local landmark, is within a 5-minute stroll along the promenade.

Rooms with Plunge Pools & Pet-Friendly Stays

Intercontinental Agios Nikolaos offers premium rooms with private or individual plunge pools and sea views, including spacious suites with separate living areas. The hotel is pet-friendly and allows small dogs in all areas including restaurants, with no extra restrictions beyond standard pet policies. Family rooms accommodate up to four guests, and the hotel provides board games, a kid-friendly buffet, and kids' meals on request.
