Location
Perched on the rugged shoreline of the Akrotiri peninsula, Isla Brown Chania Resort sits in a peaceful seafront spot just outside the low-key village of Stavros. You’re away from the bustle yet close enough to dip into local life when you want to: the nearest shops, bars and tavernas are just over 2km away, while the centre of Stavros – with its famous horseshoe-shaped lagoon beach – is around 3km.
A daily complimentary shuttle whisks you to Stavros beach, where shallow turquoise waters and soft sand make it perfect for families. Back at the hotel, you’ve got sweeping sea views and dramatic rocky coastline, with Chania’s historic harbour around a half-hour drive away for evenings out or sightseeing.
