Minos Beach Art Hotel, a Member of Design Hotels

We recently stayed at Minos Beach Art Hotel and were truly impressed. The location is absolutely stunning – right on the water with breathtaking views, crystal-clear sea, and beautifully maintained gardens. The design of the hotel feels like a peaceful village, with whitewashed bungalows, private terraces, and art installations throughout the property that add a unique and luxurious touch. The staff were warm, welcoming, and professional – they made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. Our room was spacious, elegantly decorated, and spotlessly clean, with direct access to the sea (a highlight!). The breakfast buffet was generous and fresh, offering both local and international options, and the on-site restaurants were a culinary delight, especially the waterfront dining experience at La Bouillabaisse. Minos Beach strikes the perfect balance between laid-back luxury and authentic Cretan charm. Ideal for couples, art lovers, or anyone looking for a serene escape in Agios Nikolaos. Would absolutely return and recommend it to anyone visiting Crete.

Fabulous location and wonderfully friendly staff. The best breakfast I have had in a hotel, ever! The grounds of the hotel are absolutely beautiful and the views across the bay are stunning.

We loved this whole resort. From the different restaurants, to the cute little 'islands' with two loungers jutting out into the sea - making for a romantic and secluded place for couples to lie out for the day, to our room upgrade, to the friendly staff. This place is wonderful. Just stay here.

The grounds are absolutely stunning, great care has been taken on them and you feel like you’re in an oasis of calm. The staff are incredibly friendly, all restaurants are excellent and though it’s a big place it doesn’t feel like a big resort at all, there’s always space by the pool or beach and it felt very romantic. It far exceeded our expectations and we had seven days of delicious food, crystal waters and total peace

We had the pleasure of staying at Minos Beach Art Hotel for a relaxing weekend, and it exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we felt like we had stepped into paradise. The hotel itself is beautifully spread across a large area, offering various accommodation options. Based on the glowing reviews, we opted for a bungalow right on the water, and it was the best decision we made. The bungalow was recently renovated, featuring elegant, modern decor and all the comforts we could ask for. The veranda right by the water provided breathtaking views and a serene atmosphere – truly a dream spot to unwind and connect with nature. Walking around the hotel, we enjoyed exploring the lush flora and the impressive art installations that added a unique cultural touch to the entire experience. We also had the pleasure of dining at La Bouillabaisse Restaurant during one of their special Invited Chefs & Friends event. The food was beyond incredible – every dish was a masterpiece, and the service was impeccable. A perfect 10/10 in every way. Thank you to the wonderful team at Minos Beach Art Hotel and the General Manager for his special attention. We can't wait to return!
