Sissi Bay Hotel

Sleek modern architecture and sleek design give the four-star Sissi Bay Hotel a sophisticated vibe – the perfect seaside holiday for those who don’t wish to stray too far from the trappings of civilisation! Located just two minutes from the laid back resort of Sissi and only 300 metres from the gorgeous sands of Boufos Beach, this is a great place to de-stress as you roast yourself in the hot Grecian sun. The pool area here is simply stunning with four outdoor pools, an open-air Jacuzzi and a great pool bar. Or venture inside to find further relaxation in the fantastic spa with its rebalance and renew programmes – indulge in the sauna, hammam, indoor pool, fountain, Jazuzzi, counter-current pool and gym. Meanwhile the kids will be enjoying two children’s pools with slides and a playground.

The accommodation at the Sissi Bay Hotel is as slick as the rest of it – the rooms are minimalist in design but luxurious in their appointments, with satellite TV, fridge, air conditioning and either a balcony or a terrace. Meals are served in the hotel’s delightful buffet restaurant or you could venture into Sissi Bay to find a traditional taverna. However, for a more adventurous night out, venture the three miles to Malia where you’ll find plenty of restaurants, not to mention the odd club or two if you want to dance till dawn.
