YOUR LUXURY ADULTS-ONLY DESTINATION IN GREECE

About Minos Palace Resort

A modern-day sanctuary with 360° sea views, where innovative wellbeing, bespoke design, and a unique landscape come together to create a transformative journey.

DESIGN & CONCEPT

The Place of Wellbeing

As we usher in a new era of traveling, we propose a transformative path that removes any obstacles to regeneration and emphasizes connection – both to oneself and to the world. We invite you to a journey that blurs the boundaries of space, transcends time, and remains with you forever.

When designing spaces, we draw inspiration from natural elements and ancient philosophies from across the world, connected by an interplay of volumes, light, olive groves, and azure blues.

A place deeply rooted in the pristine beauty of Crete, woven into the authenticity of philoxenia that Bluegr Hotels & Resorts has pioneered for over 50 years.
