With magnificent sea views from a rocky headland above Aghios Nikolaos Bay, this adults-only resort blends together all the ingredients for a relaxing holiday.

Take time out to relax by the swimming pool or rest by the lapping waves of the hotel's private beach, where you can try various water-sports. I spent a week solo at Minos Palace Resort in Agios Nikolaos, and it truly exceeded all my expectations. I stayed in an Infinity Blue room, which was absolutely stunning — modern, comfortable, and offering a breathtaking view of the sea. Waking up to that view every morning felt like a dream. The whole resort is incredibly peaceful and well-maintained. The infinity pool is perfect for relaxing, the private beach is beautiful and serene, and the lush green surroundings make it easy to fully unwind. The breakfast was delicious, with plenty of fresh, local options — and I really appreciated how healthy and flavorful the food was throughout my stay. Everything felt thoughtfully prepared, with a focus on quality and well-being. A special mention to the staff, especially the waiters who were always smiling, kind, and attentive — their warmth truly made a difference and made me feel very welcome as a solo traveler. I also treated myself to a one-hour massage at the spa, which was incredibly soothing and helped me completely relax. I left the resort feeling rested, recharged, and already dreaming of my next stay. Highly recommended!
