Map & location
Almyrida, Crete (Chania Area), Greece
Aloe Boutique Hotel & Suites enjoys a front-row position on Almyrida’s gently curving bay on Crete’s north coast. Step out and you’re moments from the sandy, Blue Flag beach, with its shallow, clear water that’s perfect for a dip before breakfast or an evening paddle.
The resort itself is low-key and authentic, dotted with family-run tavernas, café-bars and a handful of shops. It’s an easy base for exploring too: the colourful harbour and Venetian Old Town of Chania are about 35 minutes away by car or local bus, which conveniently passes through Almyrida roughly once an hour.
- Beach beachfront (across the small coastal road)
- Resort centre (Almyrida) 0m – right in the heart of the village
- Chania (Old Town & harbour) 35 minutes by car/bus
- Local tavernas, bars & mini-markets within a few minutes’ walk
- Approx. transfer time from airport 1 Hour (from Chania Airport – CHQ)
Facilities
Pool & outdoors
The hotel’s freshwater outdoor pool is the social heart of the property – a sleek rectangle framed by decking, sunloungers and ultra-comfy Bali beds and beanbags. It’s perfectly positioned for glimpses of the sea and long, lazy days in the Cretan sun. Pool towels are complimentary, so you can travel light.
Facilities and rules can vary slightly by season and pool, but inflatables are usually permitted, helping to keep the vibe fun rather than formal.
Directly in front of the hotel lies Almyrida’s Blue Flag beach, a sweep of soft sand and shingle shelving gently into clear, shallow water. It’s ideal for a morning swim, paddleboarding or simply wandering along the shore between beachfront tavernas.
Spa, sports & wellness
Wellness is a real strong suit here. The air-conditioned gym is impressively kitted out for a boutique property, with cardio machines, fixed-strength equipment, a free-weights and stretching zone and a dedicated aerobics studio. Typical opening hours run from early morning to late evening during the main season (20 Apr–30 Oct).
After a workout – or instead of one – retreat to the tranquil spa, where you’ll find a sauna and a menu of massage and beauty treatments (available between 09:00 and 18:00 in season, local charges apply).
Around the hotel you’ll also find a chic lobby area, reception with concierge-style assistance and luggage storage, plus thoughtful details like free pool towels and equipment hire on request.

Food & drink
Start the day with a generous breakfast in the main restaurant, where buffet and à la carte dishes mix Greek flavours with international favourites. In the evening, Half Board guests can enjoy a relaxed dinner service with Cretan touches, fresh salads and grilled specialities, often taken on the poolside terrace for that toes-in-the-water feel.
The stylish lounge bar, also by the pool, keeps things grown-up with premium local and international drinks, from crisp Greek wines and craft beers to classic cocktails. Light bites and snacks are available during the day, ideal if you don’t want to stray far from your sunbed.
Smart-casual dress may be required for dinner. Reservations or supplements can apply to certain menus depending on your board basis, and opening times may vary by season – the Travelisto team will confirm the latest details when you book. What All Inclusive typically includes.
