Fodele Beach Water Park Resort

A statement in luxury, the Fodele Beach Water Park Resort commands attention with its prime seafront location along the sandy shores of Crete's northern coast, overlooking the deep azure waters of Fodele Beach. From the moment guests arrive, the lobby captivates with a design language of cream tones, warm wooden accents, and striking black marble that exudes refined contemporary opulence. The artful displays invite a closer look; iconic Cretan motifs blend seamlessly with the hotel's modern aesthetic. As you progress through this evocative space, the indoor lounge opens up to a panoramic outdoor terrace that beckons with a view of the main pool and the glittering bay. The signature cocktail menu beckons you to indulge, while the inviting family suites promise an equally impressive retreat with touches of elegance in every corner: airy two bedrooms, stylishly appointed bathrooms, and private terraces overlooking lush gardens and the sprawling landscape beyond. For thrill-seekers, the 'staywet' professional diving center delivers an unparalleled underwater experience, where guests can explore the serene depths with a sense of weightlessness.

Explore the Local Area

Just a short distance from the hotel, visitors can immerse themselves in authentic Cretan life, with vibrant local markets and quaint village squares nearby, where aromatic coffee can be sipped in the shade of perennial plane trees, alongside the gentle flow of the river. Don't miss the historic Museum of El Greco, located just 3 km away, which provides demonstrative insight into the island's rich art heritage. The surrounding natural beauty captivates - discover the likes of Dominico Theotocopoulos' house and the Byzantine church in Loumbinies, or venture into the orange groves that paint the landscape with bursts of vibrant color. Conveniently, Nikos Kazantzakis Airport is merely 35 km from the resort, allowing for seamless transfers to this Mediterranean oasis.

Room Information

The Fodele Beach Water Park Resort features an impressive total of 500 rooms and suites, designed to blend sophistication with comfort. Each room showcases contemporary decor that harmonizes with their natural surroundings. Thoughtful amenities include air conditioning, flat-screen TVs with cable channels, complimentary Wi-Fi, and spacious balconies that offer varying views - from serene gardens to sweeping vistas of the Cretan Sea. Ideal for families, the elegantly appointed double rooms and expansive suites provide ample space for relaxation, catering to both couples and families seeking memorable vacations.

Room Upgrades

Upgrading to a family suite provides extra comfort: spanning 700 square feet, these spacious accommodations feature two separate bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a generous living area. The private terrace, draped in garden views or offering coastal panoramas, creates an idyllic environment for unwinding. For guests seeking elevated luxury, the exclusive suites with private pools elevate your stay into the realm of indulgence, accommodating up to five persons with expansive living spaces and bespoke amenities that enhance the overall experience. Select rooms also include specialized treatments inspired by Cretan herbs, honey, and pure olive oil, inviting tranquility right into the comfort of your suite.

“The resort's biggest draw is undoubtedly its extensive water park, a standout feature for families seeking activity and convenience. I particularly noted the range of dining options, from casual buffet to themed restaurants, alongside direct beach access and a wide array of entertainment. While some aspects need refinement, it presents a solid vacation choice for those prioritizing on-site fun.”
