Stella Island Luxury Resort & Spa in Crete is best known for its impressive lagoon-style pool complex, which creates a sense of being on a tropical island in the middle of the Aegean Sea. The resort’s adults-only, romantic atmosphere, and luxurious overwater bungalows also contribute to its distinctive appeal.
Striking pool-centric design
The hotel’s architecture and layout are meticulously designed around water, making it a “floating hotel”.
Vast lagoon pool: The main feature is a massive, winding lagoon-style pool that stretches throughout the resort, with narrow bridges, sunken seating areas, and “islands” for lounging. The white pool lining creates a brilliant, clear blue color.
Overwater bungalows: Stella Island was inspired by tropical resorts to create overwater bungalows that sit almost entirely over the water. These offer direct access to the lagoon and often include private amenities like jacuzzis and overwater hammocks.
Direct pool access: The design allows for a large number of swim-up and overwater rooms, giving many guests the feeling of having a private pool right off their terrace.
Adults-only luxury
The resort’s focus is on providing a peaceful and exclusive getaway for couples and honeymooners.
Comprehensive all-inclusive dining
Guests praise the high-quality and varied cuisine available with the all-inclusive package.
Six distinctive restaurants: The resort features a range of dining options, from international buffets with show cooking to ร la carte restaurants serving Cretan, Mexican, and Asian cuisine.
High-quality food: Unlike some all-inclusive resorts, Stella Island is noted for its high standard of cuisine, with fresh, varied menus at its numerous dining venues.
Thoughtful amenities and service
The resort’s commitment to service and guest experience is evident in its wide array of facilities.
World-class spa: The “Anassa Spa” includes an elevated, glass-walled indoor pool with sea views, a hammam, and massage treatments.
Sister hotel access: Guests can enjoy the waterpark and other facilities of the nearby family-friendly Stella Palace resort, adding variety for those who desire more energetic activities.
Convenient location: Despite feeling like a private oasis, the resort is conveniently located near the airport and a short distance from the nightlife and culture of Hersonissos.
