Set in the pastoral hills and sweeping olive groves on the outskirts of Malia in Crete’s northern coast, Cretan Malia Park Resort is a hotel that connects the Palm Springs chic with the Cretan vernacular aesthetic. Swathed in natural materials like walnut wood, rattan, and Cretan marble, the revamped interiors feature contemporary furnishings of mid-century elegance interlaced with handcrafted pieces by local artisans, such as hand-hewn baskets, ceramic pots, and custom-designed herringbone cement tiles.
A sense of a masterful interior/exterior fusion is achieved with the vibrant accents of mustard yellows, sea blues, flora greens and orange, and the ubiquitous floor-to-ceiling windows. The idyllic locale and sophisticated design are rounded off by a focus on wellbeing, where the hotel offers to its clients a program of physical activities such as yoga, Pilates, meditation sessions and water polo, is complemented by three pools, a fully equipped gym, outdoor tennis and basketball courts, family facilities, an intimate spa offering signature treatments and an organic kitchen.
