WyndhamWaterfront marina resort
The resort spans two coastal sectors linked by a footbridge, stepping down the hillside toward its sheltered harbor.
What it’s good at
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Overlooking Mirabello Bay near Agios Nikolaos, fronting private beaches and its own marina.

The rooms
Selected bungalows and maisonettes open onto sun decks with their own plunge pools facing the sea.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Fabric-canopied daybeds rest along tiered sundecks, looking past palm leaves toward the yachts and open water.
The spa and gym
An indoor heated pool sits beside raised whirlpool tubs, and a covered training deck overlooks the coastal hills.
At the table
Kafenion sets dinner beneath stone arches and an illuminated olive tree, and waterfront terraces serve meze over the bay.
How it began
First opened in 1972 as Mirabello Beach & Village, the estate was thoroughly rebuilt fifty years later.

Our shorthand
How we rate hotels.

Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
Bronze
They did this well. You’ll notice.
Listed
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
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.
