Daios Cove is totally luxurious. Without a doubt, one of the most acclaimed resorts in the region. Romantic, yet at the same time family-friendly.
Daios Cove is an ultra-contemporary luxury resort, seamlessly blending modern architecture with the raw beauty of its Mediterranean setting.
From the moment you arrive, Daios Cove exudes a sense of understated elegance and tranquillity. Perfectly perched on the northeastern coast of Crete overlooking a private cove. A wonderful blend of modern luxury, natural beauty, and authentic Cretan charm.
It is wonderfully innovative, both in the resort style and with the seemingly constant subtle enhancements year on year, so it always seems fresh and inviting.
5 miles from the lively and attractive resort of Aghios Nikolaos, a picturesque coastal area known for its charming harbour, boutique shops, and vibrant culture.
One hour’s transfer from Heraklion Airport.
Daios Cove holds 290 rooms, suites, and villas dotted across the hillside, most with superb views.
The design style is bright and modern, in an elegant minimalist manner that still encompasses traditional Cretan touches.
You have a choice of:
- Deluxe Rooms—All Deluxe rooms have a sea view, some with plunge pools.
- Junior Suites with an integrated living area and plunge pool.
- One and Two Bedroom Suites with a separate living room, mostly with their own swimming pool.
- The Villas offer the most luxurious accommodation, with One, Two and Three bedrooms, and larger private swimming pools.
Please note that the private-use pools throughout the resort do not have depth markings, so you do need to consider your capability levels and be especially vigilant with small children.

- Cultural Experiences: Learn about Crete’s rich history with cooking classes, wine tastings, or guided tours to local sites such as the Palace of Knossos and the island of Spinalonga
- The resort can arrange excursions to nearby attractions, including the charming town of Agios Nikolaos, the traditional village of Kritsa, or the stunning beaches of Elounda
Residence Club – All Villa and Suite guests become members of the Residents Club, which gives access to dine-around options with a bottle of wine for lunch & dinner, ice cream and soft/fruit drinks for children, 24-hour room service for main meals, with the mini bar stocked daily.
Daios Cove is a totally modern resort, with an intriguing design style that has taken Northern European concepts and rather skilfully blended them with the use of local stone and fabrics.
Whether you’re lounging by the infinity pool, exploring the stylish resort, or indulging in world-class spa treatments, every moment at Daios Cove feels thoughtfully curated.
The expansive cove beach has typically Cretan coarse sand leading into a sea of incredible colour contrasts, with good swimming and snorkelling. Motorised sports are arranged at the rim of the bay.
Although the resort does attract families, particularly at school holidays, some of the areas are designed solely for adult romance.
Car Hire—To add to your flexibility, we do suggest car hire. Ideally, this should be booked in advance, especially in the peak season.
