Daios Cove Luxury Resort & Villas, a prestigious five-star retreat nestled in a secluded cove in Vathi, Crete, blends elegant architecture with the rugged beauty of its surroundings, offering an exclusive haven near Agios Nikolaos.
The 165 opulent rooms, suites, and villas feature spacious living areas, marble-lined bathrooms with separate bathtubs and rain showers, flat-screen TVs, coffee/tea makers, and personalized pillow menus. Many accommodations boast private seawater pools and terraces with spectacular views of the cove and the Ionian Sea, creating a serene escape infused with contemporary luxury and Cretan charm.
Dining at Daios Cove is a culinary voyage. Pangea transforms from a vibrant breakfast spot overlooking the crystal cove to an international food bazaar with themed nights, showcasing global flavours. The Taverna, perched at the water's edge, serves authentic Cretan specialties and fresh daily catches, paired with Greek and international wines. Ocean Restaurant, guided by Ducasse Conseil, offers Mediterranean dishes with artistic flair, while The Beach House delivers unpretentious coastal dining. Firefly provides upscale in-room dining with fresh pastries and gourmet creations. The Crystal Box at Chill Time crafts signature cocktails in a stylish lounge with panoramic bay views, and the Ocean Pool Bar blends seamlessly with the infinity pool for carefree sips. The Kēpos by Coco Spa, with two indoor seawater pools, Finnish and soft saunas, steam room, and vitality pool with massage jets, offers holistic wellness, complemented by the cutting-edge BXR Gym. Guests can enjoy tennis, water sports, a games room with table tennis and video games, or private Rib Boat excursions to secluded beaches, curated by the attentive concierge.
Just 10 minutes from Agios Nikolaos, 20 minutes from Elounda, and less than an hour from Heraklion International Airport (65 km), Daios Cove offers seamless access to Crete's cultural gems, including the Minoan ruins of Knossos, ensuring a luxurious blend of serenity and exploration.
