Ikaros Beach, Luxury Resort & Spa - Adults Only, hotel in Malia

Commanding an enviable location in Malia, the Ikaros Beach Luxury Resort & Spa offers a private sandy beach, 4 swimming pools and delicate dishes of Greek and International cuisines.

Location and nature, beach too. Full buffet, helpful staff, very friendly. Loved all the various, diverse seating areas as well as the grand entrance and village atmosphere. It’s similar to walking in a village. No straight lines and beautiful Mediterranean gardens everywhere. Even the shops on the premises were SO helpful and friendly, as was the life guard. Privacy in many areas.

We spent one week in October and were very lucky to still have good weather. The staff was amazing! Right upon our arrival, everyone was so friendly, helpful and accommodating. The best service ever! Thank you, Cristina :) Beautiful facility, everything was spotless, we loved our little private pool. I enjoyed the gym and spa, our kid loved the Kids center, the disco and all the activities and spent a lot of time there so we could just relax. Oh, and breakfast bar was great: huge variety, delicious food. Highly recommend, we had an amazing time!

    We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Airbnb on Crete! The property deserves all five stars for its impeccable amenities and prime location. The house was perfectly equipped with everything we needed. What truly made our stay exceptional was the outstanding communication with the host. He was incredibly helpful and friendly, always available to assist us with any questions or needs we had. We can't wait to return and highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Crete!

    My husband and I travelled to Crete for the first time and stayed at Drossia Palms and let me say this property FAR exceeded our expectations. I wish I could give it 15 stars. We stayed in the suite with a hot tub on our deck and our room was absolutely beautiful! This business is family owned and they were all so welcoming and accommodating! I cannot recommend this property enough

    The family run hotel leans over backwards to make the break five star. All nationalities rub shoulders in a fantastic friendly way. We met people who return year after year, time after time. Facilities are excellent, and the site is convenient for maximum sunshine, two excellent pools, and very close to an excellent bakery, supermarket, and lots of other great facilities
