Minos Beach Art Hotel

A pretty collection of whitewashed villas and bungalows nestled in delightful flower-filled gardens right by the sea, Minos Beach Art Hotel is a haven of tranquillity close to two beaches and half a mile from Aghios Nikolaos. The hotel also has three restaurants, two bars, a gym and an interesting collection of modern art.

The ambiance at Minos Beach Art Hotel is totally unique. With a wealth of fine art and sculptures scattered through the property, it is rather like staying in a prestigious art gallery. The setting on the water’s edge is delightful and a number of suites have wonderful mountain and sea views and some villas and bungalows benefit from their own private pool.

Sit in a lounge chair on the rocky shoreline just feet from the Aegean Sea and take in the invigorating sea views. Try your hand at diving or sailing, or simply indulge in an Ayurvedic massage followed by a dip in the pool. In the evening, dine in Minos Beach Art Hotel’s French restaurant, La Bouillabaisse, for haute cuisine by the water’s edge.
