Rithymna Beach

An introduction to Rithymna Beach

It's all shimmering sands and glistening seas at this beachfront beauty. Rithymna Beach has got sparkle by the bucket-load. And the list of reasons to stay at this Cretan lovely doesn't end with all things beach related. There's the endless choice of swimming pools for starters. Cross the saltwater lagoon pool on bridges strung from island to island. Show off with a splashy crawl in the seafront pool. Or stretch out in the sun beside the garden pool. Whether you like to muck in and mess around or you prefer to revel in peace and quiet, you're guaranteed to find your perfect swimming spot here. And the decisions don't stop there either. Take your pick from four fabulous bars, choose from a menu of four fantastically flavour-full restaurants or put your feet up in the privacy of your own room and order in. Sip cocktails on a veranda overlooking a starlit sea. Dig in to a lobster feast under a canopy of mulberry trees. Or try a bit of everything at the buffet. All the salads and vegetables are grown on farms and you'll adore every to-die-for delicious morsel that passes your lips. And if that's not reason enough, you'll know you're onto a winner when you clap eyes on the bedrooms. From the bungalows and suites to the main building and royal pavilions, every little detail has been covered. Tiled or fully carpeted floors, lovely linens and oodles of effortless elegance - it doesn't get much better than this.
