This is a place designed not to be seen, but to be felt. Quietly, personally, and entirely on your own terms.
Crete is often experienced at full volume: busy tavernas, lively beaches, days that stretch long into the evening. At Nana Princess Suites, Villas & Spa, the pace shifts entirely.
This is a place designed not to be seen, but to be felt. Quietly, personally, and entirely on your own terms.
Set along the northern coast of Crete, just outside Hersonissos, Nana Princess Suites, Villas & Spa introduces itself with space and simplicity.
Suites and villas step down the hillside in a series of terraces, their grass roofs designed to preserve uninterrupted sea views from every room. From the outset, it feels less like a resort and more like a collection of private residences, clean-lined, low-rise, and intentionally discreet.
What defines the experience here is not scale, but personalisation.
Even the entry-level suites come with private saltwater pools, outdoor dining spaces and sun loungers positioned for long, unhurried hours beside the water. Across thirteen room categories, from split-level family suites with separate entrances to expansive villas with private gyms and saunas, the emphasis remains the same: space, privacy and flexibility.
Each stay adapts around the guest, rather than the other way around.
Like all seamless hotels, much of what makes Nana Princess Suites, Villas & Spa work happens quietly behind the scenes.
There is a constant rhythm of preparation ensuring that everything, from pristine suites to perfectly timed service, it all feels effortless. It’s this unseen precision that allows the experience to remain uninterrupted, calm and entirely natural.
“As a boutique-style experience, we adapt constantly to guest needs rather than follow a fixed formula, which means every stay is unique and carefully tailored.”
- Maria Vassilaki, Sales Specialist, Nana Princess Suites, Villas & Spa
Days here are deliberately unstructured.
Mornings often begin high on the hill, where breakfast is served with sweeping views across the coastline. From there, the day opens up, time by your private pool, a visit to the spa, or simply staying exactly where you are.
There is no expectation to move, only the option to.
Privacy is not just a feature here, it’s the foundation.
Whether in-suite or across the wider hotel, space is always preserved. Even shared areas feel calm and considered, allowing guests to fully disconnect without ever feeling confined.
The spa, set discreetly underground, is one of the largest on the island and is one of its most striking spaces.
Inside, a sequence of thermal experiences unfolds: Finnish sauna, ice room, solarium and expansive relaxation areas, all designed with the same architectural clarity as the rest of the hotel. It’s less an addition, more an extension of the experience, another space dedicated to slowing down.
A private beach sits just below the terraces, while multiple pools including those within some of the suites themselves offer space to retreat without interruption. For those who want to stay active, there is a fully equipped fitness centre, tennis courts and access to a range of water sports along the coast.
Elsewhere, thoughtful additions elevate the stay further: a private yacht for exploring the Cretan coastline, a helipad for seamless arrivals, and a boutique for quiet browsing. Every element feels considered, integrated and intentionally low-key. There when you want it, invisible when you don’t.
“We focus on boutique, personalised experiences from curated dining to seamless service showing that every detail is designed for guest comfort, privacy, and memorable moments.”
- Maria Vassilaki, Sales Specialist, Nana Princess Suites, Villas & Spa
Dining at Nana Princess Suites, Villas & Spa is deliberately varied, yet consistently refined.
Dining is centred around three distinctive restaurants. Begin the day at Carpe Diem, where breakfast is served in an elegant setting. Later, savour fresh seafood and a beachfront atmosphere at Eternal Blue, located on the shores of the hotel's private beach, or enjoy premium cuts and expertly grilled dishes at Meat In Point, a contemporary dining destination dedicated to exceptional flavour and quality.
Menus are designed by a Michelin-starred chef, thoughtfully prepared and served with an easy, polished warmth. From a healthy, locally inspired breakfast to a private dinner in your suite, memories are made in the detail.
By the time you leave, what stands out is how personal the experience has been.
Not because of grand gestures, but because everything has been shaped around you. Your pace, your preferences, your version of what a holiday should feel like.
The most popular time to visit Crete is between May and October, when warm, dry weather makes it ideal for long days by the pool or sea.
For a quieter, more refined experience, the shoulder months, May, June, September and October offer softer light, fewer crowds and a pace that mirrors the hotel itself.
