Overview

Set right on the golden sands at the quieter end of Rethymnon’s long beach, Pearl Beach Hotel pairs easy-going Greek hospitality with a prime promenade address. This 4-star hotel suits couples and families who like to mix pool time with strolls into the old town, with comfortable rooms spread across three low-rise blocks, a choice of outdoor and indoor pools, and a spa and gym on hand when you feel like switching off properly.

Wake up to the sound of the waves at Pearl Beach Hotel, where the promenade and sandy shore are just steps from the pool. Days drift by between sun loungers, dips in the outdoor and indoor pools, or unwinding in the spa, while evenings are for cocktails by the water and exploring Rethymnon’s lantern-lit harbour and backstreets. For couples and families seeking Crete (Heraklion Area)’s mix of history, beach life and tavernas, Pearl Beach Hotel delivers that relaxed, everything-on-your-doorstep feel. It’s around 2 hours 30 minutes from Heraklion airport along Crete’s north coast. See more Greece holidays.
