Set among the rugged hills of southern Crete, Paralos Irini Mare is a sanctuary where authentic island life and sustainable sophistication come together effortlessly. Just a short stroll from Agia Galini’s Blue Flag sands, the hotel’s earth-toned architecture blends beautifully with gardens of pomegranate, olive, lavender and thyme. It’s a place shaped by nature and guided by a deep-rooted Cretan warmth – ideal for couples seeking serenity and families who value space, flavour and a gentler pace of life.

With 150 rooms and suites spread across 16 low-rise buildings, the resort feels both spacious and cocooned. Suites with private pools offer a touch of exclusivity, while other rooms frame sweeping sea, garden or mountain views. Three semi-saltwater pools, including a magnesium-enriched Zen Zone, create a tranquil setting for unhurried days, and the hotel’s wellness offering — from indoor and outdoor gyms to calm pockets of garden shade – makes wellbeing feel wonderfully intuitive. Sustainability runs through every detail, from geothermal energy and UV-sanitised pools to the resort’s commitment to local, organic produce.

Dining is a celebration of Crete’s culinary soul. Farm-to-plate menus highlight produce grown in the hotel’s own groves, with dishes that feel both inventive and deeply rooted in the island’s traditions. Beyond the gardens, Agia Galini’s harbourfront tavernas offer grilled seafood and village charm, while natural wonders such as Preveli Beach, the Minoan Palace of Phaistos and the caves of Matala lie within easy reach. Paralos Irini Mare is a place where the island’s generosity is not only tasted but felt – a gentle, grounding escape between mountains, sea and timeless Cretan hospitality.
