Daios Cove Luxury Resort & Villas, the five-star hillside beach resort, located in a beautiful, secluded cove on the North-East coast Crete will re-open for the season on Friday 12th April. Providing the perfect opportunity for holiday makers to plan their 2019 getaway, the resort will open just in time for the Easter bank holiday.

The stunning 35-hectare resort features an array of spacious rooms, suites and villas, ingeniously integrated into the cove, affording each uninterrupted vistas across the azure waters of Daios Bay and the Mediterranean Sea. The elegantly designed rooms include marble bathrooms, king size beds, private balconies or terraces – many with private seawater pools for ultimate indulgence.

The resort offers an endless supply of top-class activities to amuse guests of every age, from pedalos, canoeing and scuba-diving to tennis, fitness-training, yoga and Pilates. There is also a full range of entertainment available, including tailor-made excursions to the most famous places on the island, and in-resort cookery lessons and wine-tasting sessions.

The expansive central hub of the resort includes six specialty restaurants and bars offering an array of cuisines all made from the finest seasonal and locally sourced produce. Facilities also include the state-of-the-art Goco Spa Daios Cove – with pioneering products by 111 Skin and Anne Semonin – children’s club, water sports centre, heated infinity pool and a private sandy beach offering a choice of aquatic activities:

· Water sports center

· Private yachts, motorboats and catamarans are available for rent and sail

· Scuba Diving

· Two Tennis courts with floodlights

· Fitness Centre

· Yoga & Pilates sessions

· Entertainment programmes

The Cove is home to a hub of activities but if visitors want to get out for the day there are a number of goings-on to do such as the Land Rover Experience Greece, a 4 hour road trip where guests get to go off the beaten track and head East up into the mountains from Lassithi Plateau to Elounda to the magical mountains in Crete to get a spectacular view of the island.

One of The Cove’s most popular day trips – The Luxury Boat Experience where guests are accompanied by a private skipper on a luxury RIB boat, where they will visit secluded beaches in and around the cove area. The excursion also includes a visit to the historic island of Spinalonga – the last known leper colony in 1903, which served as a fortress built by the venetians in order to protect the Mirabello Bay, now a beautiful picturesque island. If hotel guests wish to enjoy an all-day outing, Daios Cove will help organise a trip over to one of the most captivating islands in Greece - Santorini which is 2hrs 35 minutes away via car and ferry.

From 2nd until 9th June, Daios Cove will host renowned astrologer, Susan Miller from AstrologyZone, who will be journeying to the resort to host a week-long residency. Her previous clients include everyone from Wall Street brokers to international stars including Pharrell, Jessica Alba, Emma Stone, and Emma Roberts.
