5* Grecotel LUXME White Palace ~ Crete
An Idyllic Luxury Escape
Why We Love This Hotel
White Palace, Grecotel has given the classic Greek architecture a contemporary twist, resulting in a fresh and modern look. The property consists of sail-white buildings scattered around a saltwater pool with breath-taking sea views. The buildings are interconnected by a network of paths that meander through beautifully manicured gardens. The interior of the resort is reminiscent of an art gallery, with its light-filled and spacious rooms, complemented by walls painted in bright hues.
The beach at Grecotel LUX ME White Palace in Crete is a Blue Flag rated 1000-metre stretch of sand and pebbles. The property boasts two pools, one for adults and one for children, making it an ideal destination for families. The Grecoland program offers a wide range of activities and amenities catering to children of different age groups, including GrecoKids for 4 to 6 year olds, Greco Juniors for 7 to 12 year olds, and GrecoTeens for older kids.
White Palace is also a food lover’s paradise, with six restaurants serving a variety of cuisines ranging from traditional Cretan and Greek dishes to Italian and Pan Asian delicacies. Guests can indulge in creamy artisanal gelato from the beachfront gelateria or sample freshly baked pastries from the on-site patisserie. The property also has four bars, including the sunset lounge, beach house, wine bar, and garden theatre, all offering an extensive selection of premium brand drinks that are included in the LUXURY MADE EASY all-inclusive package.
Guests can also visit Grecotel’s Agreco farm, which is situated in the hills above the coastal town of Rethimno. The farm offers an opportunity to dine on traditional Cretan dishes made using locally grown produce at The Taverna, and take a tour of the farm in the early evening. Transportation to the farm is not included.
This is a stunning property that blends classic Greek architecture with modern design elements, offering guests a luxurious and comfortable stay with a plethora of amenities, activities, and dining options.
“The minute we walked up the steps to the entrance of the White Palace and cast our eyes over the mesmerising view of crisp white sunbeds, blue waters as far as our eyes could see and the palm trees swaying in the wind; we knew we were in for a treat. The cocktails and bubbles are one of a kind. We highly recommend the Greek Mojito that is made by their on-site mixologist, consisting of – Skinos, Lemon, Basil and sugar syrup – YUM! Now, let us pre warn you, go with a very empty stomach, the food is like nothing we’ve ever experienced. You will eat like a true Cretan, with food prepared by some of the most amazing chefs. From fine dining in the white restaurant where each course is a magical experience to an ice cream and crepe bar situated along the beach, yes, we did eat our body weight in ice cream whilst laying on the netted sunbeds over the ocean and of course did our work at the same time, shhhh!
One of the many things we loved, was the location of LUXME White Palace, with it being only a 10 minute taxi ride to Old Town Rethymno, you will enter cobbled streets filled with gorgeous boutique shops, history and if you hadn’t guessed it already, a huge array of mouth watering food and drink. Would we go back? YES… Sign us up”
