Blue Palace Resort & Spa – Crete

#summervacay Blue Palace (now rebranded to Phaea Blue Palace) is a verdant coastal gem overlooking Mirabello Bay and Spinalonga island. My villa had a private heated pool and sea breeze from the patio. The hotel blends sophisticated minimalism with traditional Cretan warmth—with five restaurants, waterfront spa, and a private beach. Service felt personal, and the setting was both elegant and authentic. A tranquil, sun-drenched sanctuary for summer relaxation.
