Formerly part of a larger complex that was a staple of Crete’s luxury hotel scene for many years, the Phāea Blue Palace boutique hotel opened its doors in May 2024 with a fresh new look and identity. Many elements that earned the original Blue Palace its popularity remain; the irresistible beachfront location with exemplary levels of service. What has changed is the designation of the Phāea Blue Palace boutique hotel as a smaller, separate entity, catering to those seeking a more intimate and personalised stay on the island.
Just 47 rooms, bungalows and suites are on offer now, beautifully refurbished to the highest standards while reflecting the original uplifting colour palette of whites and blues. All feature private balconies as standard, with a range of upgrades delivering enhanced views, heated private pools and significantly enhanced indoor and outdoor living spaces. The private three-bedroom Phāea Blue Villa overlooks Spinalonga and has its own outdoor pool, a chef included for your stay as well as ample outdoor space for dining and relaxing.
