— WHERE EVERY DISH IS A

STORY, AND EVERY TABLE AN
INVITATION TO CONNECT.

Gea invites guests to roam through a curated buffet of Medi-
terranean and Cretan flavors, echoing the joy of the island’s
abundant produce. For those who seek spontaneity, Platia—
the resort’s communal square—offers casual bites, gyros, sand-
wiches, and pastries, accompanied by coffee, chatter, and local
flair. The pop-up Meli gelateria sweetens the day with a touch
of nostalgia, while Sphere ensures that even poolside cravings
are deliciously met. A constellation of bars brings further depth
to the resort’s sensorial offerings. At Zeno, the lobby bar, mixol-
ogy is elevated to art with cocktails infused with honey, berries,
and botanicals from the island’s mountains. Euphoria, flanking
one of the signature pools, melds curated soundscapes with
smooth spirits for a tranquil pause in the sun. Families gravitate
to Sphere, the cheerful bar near the splash park, where snacks
and drinks make every moment a celebration. And through a
unique partnership with Athens' acclaimed Bar In Front The
Bar, the resort redefines the role of the island mixology in lux-
ury travel. The pools—four in total—are as varied in mood as
they are in setting, offering tranquil spaces for couples, lively
areas for families, and secluded retreats for sun worshippers.
Water becomes play at Splash Aqua Park, where children dash
through fountains, whirl down slides, and delight in a sensory
world crafted around the elements of earth, sky, and sea. And
just beyond, a private beach at The Royal Blue—accessible via
shuttle—offers golden sands and tailored service, making the
shoreline as curated as the suites themselves.
Well-being is approached with reverence at Pure Senses Spa,
where Cretan traditions meet Swiss innovation. In an exclusive
collaboration with Swissline, one of the world’s most advanced
skincare houses, the spa offers treatments that bridge science
and indulgence. Children become little explorers at Topi Kids
Club, where storytelling, pottery, dance, and discovery immerse
them in the myths and rhythms of the island. At the family gar-
den and farm, they learn to dig, grow, and harvest—connecting
to the land in ways that ground and inspire.
Beyond the resort’s bounds, curated experiences beckon. From
mountain biking through Mylopotamos to wine tasting in sto-
ried villages, guests are invited into the narrative of Crete. The
celebration of life continues with bespoke events—sunset wed-
dings, moonlit proposals, or intimate dinners on the water—all Sun-dappled
seamlessly arranged with the warmth and intuition The Royal serenity, a chilled
