The Royal Senses Resort & Spa Crete, Curio Collection by Hilton ★★★★★
A luxury resort on the Aegean Sea for your next Cretan adventure.
By Martin Chevreau, VeryChic correspondent
On the northern shores of Crete, The Royal Senses Resort & Spa is the ideal place to indulge in 5-star luxuries whilst enjoying the great Cretan outdoors. Opening in May 2020, this resort boasts a luxury Spa and a vibrant marketplace – inspired by a Cretan village – in which to shop and eat, as well as two infinity pools and a waterpark to relax in. With all these facilities comes the possibility to enjoy unique activities on your next family holiday or couple’s escapade to Crete!
Known for its surrounding turquoise lagoons, dramatic landscapes and rich cuisine based on lavish olive oil and fresh herbs, Crete is a popular holiday destination for all travellers. Facing the Aegean Sea on the north coast of the island, the Royal Senses is a luxury resort. Each room here reflects the serenity of the surroundings whilst combining Cretan authenticity and a contemporary design to create luxurious sanctuaries with views onto the sea.
The Royal Senses is not solely an opportunity to relax by its two infinity pools that overlook the Aegean Sea, but also a place where you can enjoy local outdoors activities as a family. You can visit the fruitful fields and harvest your own fruits and vegetables, or shop in the resort marketplace – designed as a vibrant Cretan village – and its boutiques, souvenir shops and eateries. The Kid’s club also hosts workshops which aim to develop the mind and soul by doing pottery, drawing and drama classes among other activities. While children make new friends, adults can use the Spa, where an emphasis is put on the use of local herbs in the baths for a soothing experience.
Culinary-wise, the Main Restaurant showcases a seasonal buffet option for breakfast, lunch and dinner, using products from its own farm and gardens. Two further à la carte restaurants serve more traditional specialities, in particular lamb inspired cuisine and reinvented homemade traditional Cretan dishes. To complement your meals, there are a range of bars serving local pairings of local liquors with fragrant cakes!
Enjoy a luxury Cretan retreat at The Royal Senses Resort & Spa for your next family holiday to the Aegean Sea.
