Phāea Cretan Malia, a member of Design hotels, exemplifies the vision of Phāea, seamlessly blending authentic Cretan heritage with conscious, contemporary hospitality. A serene haven on Crete’s northeast coast, the hotel’s design integrates low-rise buildings, open spaces, and lush Mediterranean gardens that harmonize with the island’s natural beauty. Interiors reflect Crete’s essence, with earthy tones, terracotta, sea blues, and natural textures, complemented by handcrafted furnishings and botanical murals by renowned Greek artists. The 204 accommodations, including guestrooms, bungalows, and suites, celebrate local craftsmanship with Cretan marble, chestnut wood, and rattan, creating an elegant, tranquil retreat. Spacious balconies and garden terraces extend the living areas outdoors, offering a deep connection to the surrounding landscape.
Dining at Phāea Cretan Malia is a heartfelt celebration of Crete’s rich culinary traditions, emphasizing fresh, locally sourced ingredients and authentic preparation methods. From Mouries’ open-fire kitchen serving traditional Cretan dishes to the Levant-inspired Mezze and Almyra’s beachfront Italian cuisine, every restaurant reflects the island’s vibrant flavors. The hotel’s organic kitchen garden supplies seasonal produce, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability and a farm-to-table philosophy. Beyond dining, guests can immerse themselves in thoughtfully curated experiences, from botanical garden tours and traditional cooking classes to wellness activities like yoga and meditation. A highlight is the Phāea Farmers Feast at Bostani,guests hand-pick fresh ingredients and enjoy a communal farm-to-table dining event, embodying the hotel’s dedication to meaningful, mindful experiences that connect deeply with Crete’s heritage.
