GRAND BAY BEACH RESORT

Like an island within an island, this is GRAND BAY BEACH RESORT. Understated design, attention to detail, instinctive hospitality, tasteful food and a personalised approach are only a few of the ingredients which make our small "island" a very special getaway, ideal for those who seek tranquillity and calmness, excellent cuisine, and upgraded spaces and services.

GRAND BAY BEACH RESORT is located directly on the 3 km long beach of the scenic fishing village of Kolymbari, amongst scenery of unparalleled beauty, and near settlements that retain their traditional Cretan character, just 23 km west of the most picturesque town of Crete, Chania and about 35km away from its international airport. The famous Samaria Gorge is only 40 km away, while the spectacular White Mountains of Crete overlook the green valleys surrounding the hotel Here the villages follow one another and the landscape changes accordingly: the sea, the mountains, the plains and the gorges, the picturesque cafés and the hidden little taverns combined with the infinite blue of the sky and the sea create images that rivet the visitor’s attention.

Its geographical position is the ideal starting point for your excursions in the inexhaustible opulence of nature and the numerous archaeological sites of Crete or for endless relaxing hours on the beach gazing the endless blue of the Gulf of Chania.

Eco-friendly materials, including marble, wood, and stone, typical of traditional Cretan architecture blend with modern design, and low-level buildings mix harmoniously with nature and the blessed surroundings to offer upgraded accommodation and services of the highest standards. Inspired by nature’s gift to the local environment, coloured by the crystal clear bay, the hotel’s design concept is to offer to its guests direct access to the water; either that is the hotel’s two freeform swimming pools or the stunning seawater of the gulf.

The resort’s private beach on the shores of the beautiful Aegean Sea covers 160 meters and represents only a small stretch of the 3 km long Kolymbari beach. The Hotel’s beach is also awarded with the Blue Flag for maintaining the high standards of the international Blue Flag Organization regarding safety, quality of waters and general infrastructure of the beach.

Nestled amongst the hotel’s buildings there are two crystal clear fresh water swimming pools and a children’s pool surrounded by terraces with designer bamboo furniture and stylish sun beds and umbrellas.

Dining facilities are excellent since the guests have a choice between the Hotel’s Buffet Restaurant, an extremely popular Snack Bar, a lobby Coffee Shop, and a rich Room Service menu.
