Best of Crete - Tourism Consulting

Like an island within an island, this is GRAND BAY BEACH RESORT. Understated design, attention
to detail, instinctive hospitality, tasteful food, and a personalised approach are only a few of the
ingredients which make our small "island" a very special getaway, ideal for individuals who seek
tranquillity and calmness, excellent cuisine, and upgraded spaces and services.

GRAND BAY BEACH RESORT is located directly on the 3 km long beach of the scenic fishing village
of Kolymbari, amongst scenery of unparalleled beauty, and near settlements that retain their
traditional Cretan character, just 23 km west of the most picturesque town of Crete, Chania and
about 35km away from its international airport. The famous Samaria Gorge is only 40 km away,
while the spectacular White Mountains of Crete overlook the green valleys surrounding the hotel
Here the villages follow one another and the landscape changes accordingly: the sea, the
mountains, the plains and the gorges, the picturesque cafés and the hidden little taverns combined
with the infinite blue of the sky and the sea create images that rivet the visitor’s attention.
Its geographical position is the ideal starting point for your excursions in the inexhaustible
opulence of nature and the numerous archaeological sites of Crete, or for endless relaxing hours
on the beach gazing the endless blue of the Gulf of Chania.

Eco-friendly materials, including marble, wood, and stone, typical of traditional Cretan architecture
blend with modern design, and low-level buildings mix harmoniously with nature and the blessed
surroundings to offer upgraded accommodation and services of the highest standards. Inspired by
nature’s gift to the local environment, coloured by the crystal clear bay, the hotel’s design concept
is to offer to its guests direct access to the water; either that is the hotel’s four swimming pools, or
the stunning waters of the gulf.
