Families or couples looking for beach, sun, kids activities or private villas in luxurious surroundings.
Set in an estate of 70,000 square-metres on the north coast of Crete, Amirandes is less than a 20-minute (18km) drive from Heraklion international airport.
Amirandes has 212 rooms, suites and villas with 20 different types of accommodation to suit all parties. Most accommodation has stunning sea views and many feature private pools. The Sea View Rooms in the main palace set the standard for indulgent details which extend to include private gyms, home cinema and state-of-the-art bathrooms with colour therapy and aromatherapy Jacuzzi bathtubs. Accommodation highlights include a Mediterranean “village” and speciality “Dream Villas”.
Amirandes offers a choice of five restaurants and a superb lobby bar. From relaxed Cretan fare in the Xasteria garden restaurant to contemporary Asian dishes at the waterfront Blue Monkey, you’ll find plenty to keep even the fussiest of eaters happy. The Olympic size main seawater pool awaits in the palm fringed garden and looks out towards the ocean while a beach paradise, perfect for sunbathing or a relaxing stroll, is at your feet. There’s separate Villa's Beach Section with gazebos and loungers for the exclusive use of the villa guests.
“Grecoland” is the regular supervised kids club for children from three to twelve years and is available mornings and afternoons. There are three Astroturf Tennis Courts and an ‘Elixir’ Spa. The prestigious Crete Golf Club is also nearby, where Amirandes guests are entitled to a price reduction.
Most of the produce served in Amirandes’ restaurants is sourced locally, with organic fruit, vegetables, herbs and jams coming directly from Grecotel’s Agreco Farm located close to the hotel and a worthy of a day trip.
