Set on Crete’s sun-drenched south coast, NUMO Ierapetra Beach Resort has a prime beachfront position near the laid-back town of Ierapetra. This stretch of coast feels wonderfully under-the-radar compared with the busier north, with crystalline waters, rugged hills and a slower, more authentic pace of life.

Wander along the shore from the hotel, or head into Ierapetra’s old town to discover whitewashed lanes, flower-filled courtyards and traditional tavernas serving Cretan favourites. From the nearby port, boat trips whisk you over to idyllic Chrissi Island, famed for its turquoise waters and golden sand.

Dining at NUMO Ierapetra is relaxed yet refined, with an emphasis on fresh Mediterranean flavours and carefully curated atmospheres.

Tamarisk is the all-day hub, combining buffet and à la carte service for breakfast, lunch and dinner right by the beach. Expect abundant spreads of Greek and international dishes, live cooking and a breezy, sea-view setting.

For something more intimate, Menoa is a Japanese à la carte restaurant open in the evenings, where delicate sushi and contemporary plates are paired with fine wines and crafted cocktails.

Between dips, cool off at Mare Mare Bar, the stylish pool bar serving drinks and light bites from late morning through to late evening. Indoors, The Modern Bar in the lobby is ideal for a pre-dinner aperitif or a leisurely coffee in chic surroundings.

A smart-casual dress code may apply in the restaurants, particularly in the evenings. Reservations are recommended for à la carte dining, and availability or supplements can vary depending on your chosen board basis and the season. Information is based on the previous season and may be subject to change. What All Inclusive typically includes.

NUMO Ierapetra centres life around the water, with two inviting outdoor freshwater pools and a natural, gently shelving beach at your feet.

One pool sits close to the sand with wide sunbathing terraces, plush loungers and parasols – the kind of place you wander between the sea and your sunbed all day. A second pool offers an alternative spot to cool off and unwind, again with plenty of comfortable seating and a chilled soundtrack.

Fresh pool towels are provided, and seasonal opening dates typically run from late April to early November (subject to change). The beachfront location means you can easily split your time between saltwater swims and poolside lounging, all without having to cross a road.

Wellness takes centre stage here. The serene spa offers massage rituals and targeted beauty treatments (charges apply), open daily in season. Combine this with sunrise or sunset yoga and pilates sessions for a full mind–body reset.

An air-conditioned gym with cardio and fitness equipment is available from early morning until late evening, and there’s also tennis if you fancy something more energetic.

Evenings come with atmosphere built in: an open-air cinema shows films under the stars, while curated playlists, live DJ sets and live music create a stylish, adults-only vibe without ever feeling intrusive.

Facilities and entertainment programmes are seasonal (typically between 20 Apr–06 Nov for the main schedule, with a scaled-back programme in winter) and may vary according to occupancy.

Muted tones, natural materials and clever lighting give every room at NUMO Ierapetra a calm, contemporary feel. All rooms include Wi‑Fi, flat-screen TV, air-conditioning, safety deposit box, coffee making facilities, USB charging ports, minibar (chargeable), bathrobes and slippers, hairdryer, pillow menu, turndown service and a bathroom with shower. Daily cleaning comes as standard, with towels changed on request in most categories to support sustainability.
