Your Cretan Escape Awaits at St. Nicolas Bay

In partnership with

Tucked along the sun-drenched northeastern coast of Crete, just minutes from the charming town of Agios Nikolaos, lies one of Greece’s most enchanting hideaways: St. Nicolas Bay Resort Hotel & Villas. More than just a resort, this feels like a whitewashed village by the sea—a place where Greek island life flows at its most elegant and unhurried pace.

🌊 A Resort that Feels Like a Village

Set on its own secluded stretch of coastline, St. Nicolas Bay blends the intimacy of a boutique hotel with the full amenities of a five-star resort. Winding stone paths connect suites and private villas with bougainvillea-draped terraces, local art galleries, and peaceful corners for reading or sipping wine by the sea.

• Rooms, suites, and villas designed in traditional Greek island style, many with private pools and stunning sea views

• A small private sandy beach and several swimming coves with crystal-clear waters

• Multiple dining venues from toes-in-the-sand lunches to candlelit dinners under the stars

• A serene spa with a seawater pool, hammam, and Elemis treatments

• Thoughtful touches of Cretan hospitality throughout your stay

What truly sets the atmosphere apart is the presence of the resort’s hands-on and genuinely warm General Manager, Alex, who makes it a point to personally welcome guests. His approachability is felt throughout the resort, and his love for Crete and hospitality is infectious. Every week, Alex hosts a management cocktail reception, where guests are invited to mingle with the team in a relaxed setting, ask questions, and feel part of the St. Nicolas Bay family.

🏛️ Close to Agios Nikolaos & Cretan Culture

Only a 5-minute drive or a leisurely walk from the resort brings you to Agios Nikolaos, one of Crete’s most beloved towns. Here, you’ll find:

• The legendary Lake Voulismeni, said to be bottomless and blessed by Athena

• Chic cafés and boutiques that blend bohemian and cosmopolitan styles

• Local tavernas offering authentic Cretan cuisine like dakos, fresh seafood, and raki

• Weekly markets and festivals, especially in summer, that showcase music, food, and folklore

For deeper cultural immersion, nearby you can explore:

• The ancient ruins of Lato, one of the best-preserved Dorian cities

• A visit to Elounda and a boat trip to the haunting island of Spinalonga

• Hiking in the Kritsa Gorge and visiting the mountain village of Kritsa, known for its textiles and hearty mountain dishes

✨ Why St. Nicolas Bay?

Because it feels like you’ve stepped into a Greek postcard—but with all the comforts and privacy of a refined resort. The atmosphere is serene, the service personal, and the scenery nothing short of cinematic. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, honeymooning, or just craving a slice of the slow island life, St. Nicolas Bay invites you to reconnect with what truly matters. And with Alex and his warmhearted team ensuring every guest feels at home, the experience is as meaningful as it is luxurious.
