The house
MarriottStepped hillside cove
Sunlit paths wind through olive groves and quiet terraces sloping toward Souda Bay, setting a slow, elemental rhythm.
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Stepped stone terraces and planted green roofs blend into coastal hills with custom terrazzo and handcrafted ceramics.
Remarkable
A hundred-acre coastal hillside with four swimming pools, private plunge pools, and six distinct dining venues.
Notable
Anoseas Spa pairs Mediterranean treatments with sound healing in the subterranean Linovrochi mineral spring cave.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set along the quiet Akrotiri Peninsula, the grounds overlook Souda Bay, minutes from Marathi beach and the historic harbor of Chania.
The rooms
Earthy terracotta tones and handcrafted ceramics fill the rooms, where wide windows open to sea views and select private plunge pools.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Multi-level infinity pools step down the hillside toward the sea, fitted with sunken circular lounges and wide sundecks.
The spa and gym
An indoor hydrotherapy pool curves beneath stone columns at the spa, alongside a wood-paneled fitness room.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Anóee serves open-fire Cretan dishes under gnarled olive trees, and Cuccagna turns out wood-fired pizza and pasta.

Our shorthand
How we rate hotels.

Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
