Facilities
Pool & outdoors
The main outdoor freshwater pool is the social heart of the resort, with sunbathing terraces, loungers and parasols plus towel service. A separate aqua park brings the thrills, with slides and a splash zone operating daily in season (age and height restrictions may apply).
Inside the spa there’s a calmer indoor pool – heated from October and reserved for adults – ideal for cooler days or a quiet swim.
The long sandy beach of Georgioupolis is roughly 300m away. Locals claim this is the longest beach in Crete, so there’s plenty of space to find your own patch of sand and enjoy the Aegean waters. Facilities and services can vary between pool and beach areas, and some may be seasonal.
Spa, sports & wellness
Active guests are well covered with an air-conditioned gym (cardio, free weights and strength machines) open long hours in season, plus a busy programme of activities including aerobics, aqua aerobics, badminton, basketball, mini‑golf, pilates, short tennis, table tennis, yoga, darts and more.
The spa offers a sauna, Turkish bath, whirlpool and a menu of massages and beauty treatments (charges apply; minimum age 16yrs). There’s also an on‑site hair salon.
Around the resort you’ll find a mini‑market for essentials and beach bits, reception with concierge services, currency exchange, luggage storage and hire of items such as pushchairs, bottle warmers and wheelchairs (some services extra).

With seven restaurants and a clutch of bars, dining is a real highlight at Anemos Luxury Grand Resort.
The Meltemi main buffet restaurant covers relaxed breakfasts, leisurely lunches and show-cooking dinners, with kids’ options and highchairs.

From lobby cocktails at Aeolus Main Bar to fizz at Notos Champagnes & Cocktail Roof Bar and toes‑in‑the‑sand drinks at Sirocco Beach Bar, there’s a setting for every part of the day. Smart dress codes apply in the evenings (long trousers requested for gentlemen) and some venues require reservations or carry supplements depending on your board basis. Opening dates and times can vary by season.
