Minos Beach Art Hotel

Set on its own peninsula along Mirabello Bay, Minos Beach Art Hotel offers an easygoing escape with a creative edge. Its low-lying villas, waterfront bungalows and spacious suites are surrounded by lush gardens, sculptures and private swimming spots. Enjoy fresh Cretan dishes at four restaurants or explore the art collection scattered across the grounds. With activities ranging from snorkelling to diving lessons, there's no shortage of things to do (or excuses to do absolutely nothing).
