Imagine white-washed walls adorned with climbing bougainvillaea and the distant sound of harbour boats gently bobbing in crystal clear waters. Too idyllic to be real? Mirabello Bay, located on the eastern tip of Greece's Crete island, is truly a picture-perfect destination. Unlike popular locations like Santorini that attract large crowds, Mirabello Bay offers equally stunning blue and white sun-soaked surroundings, making it an ideal spot for a romantic getaway without the stress of overbooking or overspending.
OK! Magazine 's Zoe Cripps recently checked into the five-star Wyndham Grand's Mirabello Bay Hotel to explore their new waterpark – perfect for summer holidays with children – and their updated, airy rooms...
Where to stay The hotel, situated right on the water, provides a tranquil haven for guests seeking relaxation and rejuvenation. With 342 rooms and suites, guests can select their preferred level of luxury. Opt for a maisonette, where the harbour views and semi-private pools will tempt you to leave the comfort of your crisp white sheets for a morning coffee on the terrace.
The grounds A walk around the expansive complex reveals its size. Facilities include volleyball beach courts, two private beaches, a harbour, 11 restaurants and bars, four outdoor pools, and a state-of-the-art fitness centre. If you're planning a family holiday, the hotel is set to unveil a new waterpark this season, promising hours of fun for the little ones.
I couldn't resist heading strai.
