Intercontinental Crete By Ihg Hotel - Agios Nikolaos (Crete)

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.
