Map & location
Stavros, Crete (Chania Area), Greece
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.
- shops, bars & restaurants 2.2km
- Stavros resort centre 3km
- Approx. transfer time from airport 30 minutes (from Chania International Airport, CHQ)
Facilities
Pool & outdoors
Days tend to drift by between the hotel’s three stylish pools and the sea. You’ll find:
- Outdoor saltwater pool with wide sunbathing terraces, loungers and parasols.
- Outdoor freshwater pool with a shallow children’s section, ideal for families wanting to stay close together.
- Separate outdoor saltwater children’s pool with sunbeds and parasols nearby, giving little ones their own splash space.
Pool towels are complimentary, so you can travel light. Facilities can vary slightly between pools and by season.
While the hotel is set directly on the seafront, the main sandy bathing spot is Stavros beach, around 3km away – a sheltered, turquoise lagoon that’s perfect for swimming and paddling. A daily complimentary shuttle service makes getting there effortless.
