About Daios Cove

One of Crete’s top luxury hotels, Daios Cove is a five-star resort with a dreamy setting on a private cove. The property’s low-rise stone buildings cascade down to a sandy beach and turquoise shallows below, giving way to palm-freckled gardens, landscaped pathways and an infinity pool with sweeping views across the bay.

Lots come for the wellness offering – heralded by the ultra-chic KEPOS by Goco Spa. Here, you can indulge in advanced treatments including cryotherapy, hyperbaric oxygen, and thermal bathing, alongside traditional massages, facials, and beauty services. Fitness enthusiasts can use the BXR London gym, Mind & Body studio, and tennis academy.

Dining is diverse, with six restaurants serving everything from traditional Cretan to contemporary Italian cuisine. There are three stylish bars, too – a poolside number, a beach club with sunset DJ sets, and a Champagne and cocktail spot with a lounge music soundtrack.

As for families? They’re really well catered for, with a crèche, kids’ club, and activities that range from watersports to cycling.

The hotel is open between 20 April and 7 November 2026.

What’s on the menu?

In true Greek style, Daios Cove takes a straightforward approach to food. Menus are built by award-winning chefs around local, seasonal ingredients.

There are six restaurants and three bars to choose from, serving everything from wood-fired Cretan classics to expertly mixed cocktails (the Beach House tipples were coined by Athens-based mixologists, the Clumsies).

Families are well catered for, with children’s menus available in every restaurant. Adults-only breakfast is served at Taverna, while RHO offers child-free dinners.

Most menus include a selection of lighter, healthier dishes (look for the Kepos label). An in-house nutritionist is also on hand to help tailor choices for specific dietary needs – ideal if you want to feel good as well as well fed!

Staying in a Deluxe Room or Deluxe Junior Suite? You’ll enjoy breakfast and dinner served buffet-style at Pangea Restaurant. You can also choose the dine-around option, which allows you to eat at any à la carte restaurant for dinner, with a €20 per person allowance deducted from your bill.

Guests staying in a Suite, Collection Suite or Villa have an all-inclusive set-up, with meals and a curated selection of beverages included throughout their stay.

LOCATION

Daios Cove has an idyllic setting overlooking a beautiful bay just outside Agios Nikolaos. It’s less than a 15-minute drive to the pretty harbourfront town, which has a great line-up of handcraft boutiques authentic tavernas serving up local fare. The resort has its own private beach, complete with sunbeds and umbrellas. The nearest airport is Heraklion, which is a 50-minute drive away.

The hotel is fairly remote, so getting around requires a taxi or hire car, and there are no shops or restaurants within walking distance. As it’s built on a hillside, we wouldn’t recommend it for guests with mobility issues.

Ask the team about local excursions, including a luxury RIB ride around Mirabello Bay and boat trips to the fascinating island of Spinalonga.

WHEN TO GO

Crete enjoys a Mediterranean climate all year round, so tends to be warm for most of the year. January is usually the coolest month.

What our customers say

Feefo logo of 10 years of Proven Trusted Service
My husband and I had a fabulous week at Daois Cove. The hotel was beautifully designed and well laid out. Very comfy beds. Superb staff throughout the resort. Five restaurants - all excellent. The Spa area and treatments were all excellent. My husband was delighted with the Scuba Diving course. I joined in some group Pilates and yoga classes and also had two private Pilates classes.
