Minos Beach Art Hotel

A Cretan idyll set on the waterfront in Mirabello Bay

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 Agios Nikolaos. The hotel also has four restaurants, three bars, a gym and an interesting collection of modern art, some of which is underwater.

The ambience 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 a massage on the beach followed by a dip in the pool. In the evening, dine in Minos Beach art hotel’s French restaurant, La Bouillabaisse, for creative Mediterranean cuisine by the water’s edge.


Enjoy your stay!

Great stay

The hotel is situated in a great position right on the waterside. The rooms are modern. Great sculptures scattered around the site. The service was excellent and all staff very accommodating. The hotel could improve on the food both during breakfast and dinner including more authentic greek dishes and Read more[SPLIT]Read lesslocally sourced ingredients (Eg jams, honey etc). Also would be nice to have an outdoor shower and also more hooks in the rooms!

More than we had expected

It was a surprise to step in to the Minos lobby. We hadn't expected the place to be so cool and smashing. As we were told there has been a major refurbishment the last winter. Information about Minos Beach and art hotel on internet isn't giving the right leverage to the place. It is so much better. The Read more[SPLIT]Read lessdesign and the materials in the main building and the rooms are excellent in our opinion, since we really love the clean sleek look of concrete floors and the stylish art mixed in to the design. The service is impeccable and the staff did their outmost to make our stay as good as possible. And the restaurants at the hotel delivered over our expectations. Normally when on vacation with the family we are restless and wants to see the surroundings, but at Minos Beach we just didn't want to leave the place.

Private beach access makes for a great summer vacation

Had an amazing time here in early June for a typical beach vacation. Upon arrival I received an upgrade for the seafront bungalow, which was literally less than 20 meters away from the beach :) The entire hotel area is really nice, the staff is very friendly and helpful, and the beach and pool Read more[SPLIT]Read lessare simply amazing - and were without a doubt the highlight of my trip! The breakfast has an ample variety of great international & local foods and the dining terrace is extremely nice in the morning. If there's one thing I wasn't completely happy with, it's the relatively sparse gym area. If been to other SLH locations were the gym has been way better.
