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. The Hotel is modern, has great style and is Boutique. The food was excellent. We normally don’t love Buffet and prefer a la carte (Both is available at the main Restaurant), but this Buffet was exceptional. Small platters that were regularly replaced keeping the food warm, fresh and appetizing to look at. The Spa was great and we had the best massage (shout out to Ntinos and Sara). The staff were all very friendly. The hotel is well staffed which means all transactions happen very timely. We also really liked the leasure programs they offered all through the week (From Yoga to Body Pump, Wine Tastings etc.). The beach area is intimate and beautiful. We are definitely planning on coming back.

Featuring a garden, a restaurant as well as a bar, Elysia Boutique Hotel is located in the centre of Chania Town, 1 km from Koum Kapi Beach. This 5-star hotel offers a concierge service and a tour desk. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. An absolute gem of a place in one of the most picturesque street of Chania! The hotel is beautifully designed with lots of wood and tiles. The rooms are super comfortable with modern lightning and lots of amenities but what clearly deserves a 10 out of 10 is the charming and very professional staff. Manolis and Vasilis at the reception were super helpful with any of our questions and even arranged an emergency doctor's appointment. Dimitra's home baked cakes are a fantastic bonus to the already amazing breakfast and Demostenes welcome every morning charges you with extra energy! Clearly best hotel in Chania!
