Map & location
Kolymbari, Crete (Chania Area), Greece
Euphoria Resort is tucked on the tranquil outskirts of Kolymbari, a traditional Cretan village framed by olive groves and rolling hills. A short stroll brings you to Rapaniana’s long, pebbly-sand beach and a scattering of cosy tavernas dishing up grilled fish, dakos and carafes of local wine.
You’re well placed for exploring western Crete: hop a bus or taxi 20km east to Chania’s Venetian harbour and Old Town lanes, or drive west for quieter coves and viewpoints. Back at base, the resort feels blissfully self-contained, with everything from spa to splash park on-site.
- Approx. transfer time from airport 1 hour 15 minutes from Chania (CHQ)
Facilities
Pool & outdoors
The resort’s water world is a major draw. A sweeping outdoor freshwater pool forms the social heart of the property, with a dedicated children’s section, whirlpools, ample sunbeds and Balinese beds in the landscaped sunbathing area. Inflatables and water toys are allowed, and complimentary towels are provided.
The on-site aqua park ramps up the excitement with slides, inflatable ring chutes and multi-lane racers, operating broadly from April to November (age, height and weight restrictions may apply).
For a calmer vibe, adults can retreat to the indoor heated pool at the spa, which comes with whirlpool features and an adults-only atmosphere.
Rapaniana beach is around 270m away – a wide stretch of pebbly-sand shoreline where you can dip in the Aegean, stroll along the coast or relax between resort activities.

By day, you can graze on souvlaki, waffles and ice cream from Souvlucky by the pool, refuel on Italian classics at Il Piatto (buffet and à la carte) or opt for relaxed Greek and local dishes at Kouzina Sea Side Restaurant right on the beachfront.
In the evenings, mix it up with à la carte choices:
• Chef’s Grill – international grill specialities on the roof terrace with sunset views.
• Nami – Chinese and Japanese flavours in a stylish rooftop setting.
• Psari – fish and seafood with show-cooking flair (seasonal).
Kouzina also becomes an exclusive breakfast hotspot for Signature Collection guests, adding a little VIP ritual to your mornings.
Five bars (including beach, lounge and multiple pool bars) pour local, international and premium drinks with an emphasis on long All Inclusive Plus hours, so sundowners and after-dinner cocktails are always on the cards.
