Description
Located on Crete’s serene northeast coast, Phāea Cretan Malia blends authentic Cretan heritage with modern, conscious hospitality. As a proud member of Design Hotels, this peaceful retreat is designed with low-rise architecture, lush Mediterranean gardens, and open spaces that perfectly complement the island’s natural beauty.
The hotel offers 204 elegant accommodations—including rooms, bungalows, and suites—featuring local materials like Cretan marble, chestnut wood, and rattan. Earthy tones, handcrafted furnishings, and botanical artwork by renowned Greek artists create a calm, inviting atmosphere. Many rooms offer spacious balconies or garden terraces, ideal for enjoying Crete’s breathtaking scenery.
Dining at Phāea Cretan Malia is a culinary journey through Crete. Guests can savor traditional dishes cooked over open fire at Mouries, Levant-inspired cuisine at Mezze, and fresh Italian flavors at Almyra, right by the beach. The hotel’s organic kitchen garden provides seasonal produce, supporting a sustainable, farm-to-table philosophy.
Nestled in lush gardens, our Kids’ Club offers a fun, creative space where children explore Cretan culture through cooking, crafts, nature play, and storytelling. With indoor and outdoor areas—including a garden, eco activities, and a cozy reading hut—young guests can learn, play, and connect with the magic of Crete.
The Effortless All-Inclusive concept at Phaea Cretan Malia offers a refined holiday experience where everything is thoughtfully taken care of, allowing guests to relax and enjoy Crete at their own pace. Rooted in Cretan hospitality and culinary tradition, the program combines quality dining, premium comfort and meaningful experiences.
Guests are invited to immerse in authentic experiences, from yoga and meditation to Cretan cooking classes and botanical garden walks. Don’t miss the Phāea Farmers Feast at Bostani—a unique farm-to-table dinner where guests gather fresh ingredients from the garden and dine under the stars.
