Meet Crete’s Coolest New Resort

After opening its curtains in April 2018, Abaton Island Resort & Spa quickly proved to be a big hit. The new 5* property in Crete, Greece, impressed with its gastronomy, beautiful spa and attentive service. And there’s no stopping in 2019 as Abaton is adding new features you’ll definitely want to check out.

 

A Flock of Famous Faces

The boutique resort’s 152 uniquely designed rooms (71 with pools) are spread over 360m of dazzling coastline and feature ultra-luxurious interior design. It’s no wonder that this personal sanctuary draws reality stars and celebrities from around the world.

In July, Made in Chelsea’s Ollie Proudlock and supermodel Emma Louise Connolly Instasnapped their romantic meals and panoramic views. Back in June, Coronation Street’s Ryan Thomas and TOWIE’s Lucy Mecklenburgh were seen at their best with personal butler at hand. And for 2019, Abaton is poised to attract even more of the rich and famous.

 

Honoured to Serve

Along with its celeb status, Abaton’s exceptional hospitality has made it a sought-after holiday retreat. And if you don't believe it, just see what it takes to make it on the customer service team. The new hotel video shows recruits attend a unique kind of boot camp, with hilarious and uplifting results.

As seen in the video, Abaton’s vision is to treat each guest with utmost care. In short, the VIP treatment extends to all guests.

When not soaking up the sun, guests have raved about the Turkish hammam, fitness space, poolside waterfall, sunbeds, and tennis courts, as well as the boutique shop, jeweller and tailor. Those stepping it up a notch have travelled in style with Abaton’s helicopter and yacht service.

 

New for 2019

In 2019, there’s more to be excited about: weddings at the hotel, alfresco movie nights on the beach, two new marinas, a private karaoke room and a hi-tech play zone for teenagers. The spa expands with an additional cabin. A stylish conference room has been added, along with more buffet menu choices at the restaurant and a la carte service.

Book your 2019 stay: Direct flights run from the UK to Heraklion International Airport. The resort is only a 20-minute drive away once you arrive.
