Angela Suites Boutique Hotel
Sissi | Crete (Heraklion Area)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Tucked in the peaceful fishing village of Sissi on Crete’s north coast, Angela Suites Boutique Hotel brings a quietly luxurious, design-led feel to a laid-back seaside setting. With just 33 rooms across three low-rise blocks, three pools, a small spa and fresh, modern interiors, it’s an intimate hideaway that feels more private villa than big resort – especially in the coveted suites that open straight out to a shared swim-up pool.
Warm Cretan stone, crisp white walls and a palette of soft neutrals set a contemporary, boutique tone at Angela Suites Boutique Hotel. Three palm-lined pools form the heart of the property, with stylish loungers, a relaxed pool bar and semi-private swim-up terraces where you can step straight from your suite into the water. It feels tailor-made for couples looking for a slower pace, top-notch service and easy access to Sissi’s photogenic harbour and tavernas.
For couples seeking Crete (Heraklion Area)’s charm, Angela Suites Boutique Hotel delivers the perfect balance. It’s approximately 1 hour 40 minutes from the airport. See more Greece holidays.

Location
Angela Suites Boutique Hotel sits just back from the coastline in Sissi, one of Crete’s most charming and relaxed north-coast villages. Instead of neon-lit nightlife, expect a small harbour edged with tavernas, gentle marina-side strolls and pretty coves framed by rock formations and gardens.
Two beaches are within easy reach – Boufos and Avlaki – and the bars, cafés and mini-markets of Sissi centre are only a few minutes’ walk away. For a livelier evening, the famous Malia strip is around 7km away by taxi, so you can dip into the action but retreat to a calm base.

Restaurants and Bars
Vassilikos Restaurant is the hotel’s culinary hub, set just by the pool with indoor and al fresco seating. Expect a mix of international favourites, Greek specialities and local Cretan dishes, served buffet-style at breakfast and as à la carte or set menu options at other meals. On Half Board, dinner is typically a generous five-course set menu including soup, starter, salad, main course and dessert.
The pool bar keeps things relaxed throughout the day, serving drinks and light bites between May and October. Smart-casual dress is appreciated in the evenings (no beachwear), and reservations or supplements may apply depending on your board basis and season. Menus and opening times can vary slightly across the summer.
Pool Areas and Beach
The hotel is centred around three inviting outdoor freshwater pools, including a small children’s pool. Two main pools offer plenty of sunbeds and parasols on their surrounding terraces, while the third is a shallower pool perfect for younger guests.
A standout feature here is the selection of suites with shared swim-up pools. Step from your terrace straight into the water, with sunbeds right at the edge – a lovely option for lazy days and sunset dips.
Complimentary pool towels are provided, and facilities or opening dates may vary slightly by pool and season (usually 01 May to 31 October). Boufos and Avlaki beaches are a short stroll away if you’d like a change of scene and a dip in the Aegean.
Spa, Sports and Other Facilities
Wellness facilities are surprisingly comprehensive for such a small boutique property. The compact, air-conditioned gym is equipped with cardio machines, free weights, fixed strength equipment and a stretching zone, typically open from 09:00–19:00 (May–October, hours may vary by occupancy).
In the spa area you’ll find a sauna, steam room and whirlpool, along with a menu of massages and beauty treatments for guests aged 18 and above (supplement applies). This makes Angela Suites an appealing option if you like to mix beach and pool time with a little wellness.
Other handy features include a welcoming reception, Wi‑Fi throughout, pool towel service and practical touches like highchairs in the restaurant for those travelling with little ones.

Practical Info
Sissi offers a softer, more traditional side of Crete: think a small harbour with bobbing fishing boats, sheltered coves, landscaped gardens and coastal footpaths instead of big resort high-rises. It’s ideal if you like to dine by the sea, wander between tavernas and enjoy warm Cretan hospitality at an unhurried pace.
