With breathtaking views of Hersonissos Bay and its sparkling Aegean waters, this 5-star all-villa property offers a luxury escape steeped in privacy and elegance.

Adjoining its sister property, Aldemar Knossos Royal, on Crete’s northeast coast, this family-run and multi-award-winning property beckons with its sweeping Aegean vistas and luxury accommodation. Warm Cretan hospitality, indulgent dining and a broad array of activities and facilities across the resort make this an idyllic spot to enjoy a luxury Greece holiday in the sun – whether you’re on a romantic couple’s escape or a family holiday.

About Aldemar Knossos Villas

Basking in the glow of the Mediterranean sun, this collection of 40 luxurious modern villas places an emphasis on rooms bathed in sunlight, glorious Aegean vistas and a charming ambience that is unmistakably Mediterranean. Positioned on the tip of a panoramic peninsula, the property is framed by vivid blue waters and a sliver of sandy beach, while it shares with its sister property a host of facilities that promise endless hours of fun. These range from eight restaurants and bars serving Cretan- and Mediterranean-rooted cuisine, sparkling pools, an umbrella-dotted beach and a plethora of active offerings from tennis to yoga and Pilates to a kids’ area with a playground and 45-metre waterslide. While the kids are at play, the adults can savour some respite by arranging for a soothing massage or by relaxing in the sauna, while the hotel staff will be on hand to help you organise a selection of thrilling activities that highlight Crete’s stunning natural beauty, fascinating history and charming cultural heritage.

  • Latest Updates

    New Schengen entry requirements (planned for November 2024 onwards)

    From November 2024, the new EU Entry/Exit System (EES) will start for all non-EU nationals, including British nationals, travelling in or out of the Schengen area. The Schengen area is made up of 29 European countries, 25 of which are EU Member States. The EES is a digital border system which registers non-EU visitors travelling into the Schengen area instead of stamping their passports.

    You will need to have your fingerprints and your photo taken when entering the Schengen area. If you enter the Schengen area through Dover, Eurotunnel at Folkestone or St Pancras International, your fingerprints and photo will be taken before you leave the UK. You will also need to provide either your fingerprint or photo on exit.

    You may experience longer queues at borders when the new system starts.

    Passport, Visas and Local Taxes

    Your specific passport and visa requirements, and other immigration requirements are your responsibility, and you should confirm these with the relevant Embassies and/or Consulates. We cannot accept responsibility if you cannot travel because you have not complied with any passport, visa or immigration requirements. 

    The Greek Government has introduced the Climate Resilience Tax, payable locally upon check-out by the customer.  This tax does not form part of your holiday package as we are not able to collect this at time of booking.
