Nestled on the scenic shores of Kolymvari Bay in Chania, western Crete, the Avra Imperial Hotel is a 5-star property set right by the turquoise waters of the Cretan Sea.

Priding itself on Cretan cultural heritage and Greek traditions, this sun-soaked hotel basks in beautiful ocean vistas and includes world-class facilities such as mega swim-up pools, nine sumptuous restaurants and bars, a state-of-the-art wellbeing and fitness centre and access to a vast stretch of golden Cretan sands. 

About Avra Imperial Hotel

With architecture inspired by ancient Minoan palaces, the Avra Imperial Hotel is distinctly in touch with its Cretan heritage, offering classic Greek hospitality and top-notch facilities. Overlooking the cerulean waters of the Cretan Sea and Kolymvari Bay, the hotel comprises 328 luxurious rooms, suites and residences, each one boasting understated décor and modern amenities. Dining takes place across five restaurants and varies between sprawling buffets and delicious a la carte offerings, with open-air dining an irresistible option. In terms of cuisine, you can sample flavours from Greece, Italy and across Asia’s rich culinary landscape, while the four onsite bars serve refreshing cocktails and a variety of other tasty beverages. Facility-wise, there are a number of pools to choose from, some of which include swim-up bars. The resort really shines with its Apivita Spa, which includes a 200-metre indoor swimming pool with a cascade, a Jacuzzi, steam room, Finnish sauna, experience showers and a broad range of revitalising treatments that are on offer. Children, meanwhile, will relish the hotel’s activity-filled kids club, while the hotel’s active offerings include yoga and Pilates sessions and tennis at two onsite courts. Additionally, many of Crete’s most treasured historical and cultural sites are within easy reach, while the crystal-clear waters of the Cretan Sea and the golden sands of the beach will prove too tempting to resist.

  • 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.

    For further information please click the following link. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/eu-entryexit-system

    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.
