Nana Princess Hotel

This new luxury five-star resort caters to the most demanding and discerning clientele, offering its unique architectural features, design, premium spa facilities, wide range of VIP services, and the unparalleled beauty of its seaside setting.

The Nana Princess Hotel, which first opened in 2018, can be found on Crete’s northern shore at about the mid-point of the island. There is a reason Nana Princess Hotel has earned Trip Advisor’s Best of the Best award in 2022, a distinction it shares with only 25 other hotels in Greece, and Conde Nast’s Reader’s Choice Award for 2021: excellence. Excellence in all of its features. Take the use of topography in its architecture, for starters: the land the hotel is built on descends gently to the beach, allowing every unit to have an unobstructed view of the sea. An added bonus is that each unit overlooks its neighbor’s green roofs, which serving as a sort of series of gardens as one’s eyes move beyond them to the sea.

The overall look of the hotel’s structures is reminiscent of Crete’s most famous archeological site, Knossos, with its extensive use of masonry, in this case dressed fieldstone walls, giving it a monumental aspect.

The Nana Princess’ 102 suites and villas high aesthetic standards integrate seamlessly with high functionality and convenience. Most of the suites and villas come with private seawater pools. Many include private steam rooms, saunas and gyms. All offer stunning, unobstructed views of the glittering waters of the Sea of Crete.
