Comfort meets elegance at the adults-only Stella Island Luxury Resort & Spa. Relish two stunning, lagoon-style pools, flanked by terraces with daybeds, alongside five superb international restaurants and four cocktail-pouring bars. A selection of board bases and contemporary, wooden-beamed rooms and villas await. Book in for a calming afternoon massage or enjoy Pilates or tennis before a sunset stroll along the beachfront. The ambience is unbeatable in the evenings, as live shows begin for your entertainment. Order a tipple to sip while you watch then amble back to your room for a good night’s sleep. It’s the perfect place for a luxury all inclusive holiday to Crete.

Everything at this hotel really is included, with six restaurants to choose from, an extensive room service menu and a fully-stocked minibar. The hotel offers a superb all inclusive concept with a selection of 5 restaurants including an international buffet, plus seafood, Greek, Asian and grill à la cartes. You can also have meals delivered straight to your room. Snacks and cocktails are served in four bars. You’ll find them all scattered around the pool courtyard. You can even enjoy a “floating breakfast”, a unique experience where you can have it delivered to your private pool or to one of the lagoon pools.

The pool’s a giant, lagoon-like number dotted with wooden sunbathing platforms and tropical trees. There are a couple of islands in the middle of the water, too, where you can sit and unwind. Alternatively, you can spread out on the private beach. It’s a stone’s throw from the pool courtyard. Relax at the Anassa spa with Elemis  and organic vegan products from the Spanish brand, Sepia. You can even take your pick from different ingredients to whip up your own day cream. With an indoor pool with panoramic views, a sizzling sauna and relaxing jacuzzi tub, you’ll literally wanna chill here all day. There’s never a dull moment at Stella Island, with live performances, music and dance routines seven nights a week. Head to Paraiso for around 10:30 p.m. to grab a cocktail and a table with a good view of the poolside stage.

All rooms come with a pool view and a balcony or terrace. You’ll also have air-conditioning, Wi-Fi, tea and coffee facilities, a safe, bathrobes and slippers, and a TV. Upgrade options include swim-up rooms and 1-bedroom villas, which come with their own private pool. Meanwhile Grand over water 1-bedroom bungalows feature a Jacuzzi, hammock and steam bath.
