Cretan Malia Park

LOCATION

Nestled amongst lush gardens, white sand beaches and the calm, crystal blue waters of the Mediterranean, Cretan Malia Park enjoys a perfect location. 

As one of the most unique and special beachfront hotels in Crete, the resort is just 30 minutes away from Heraklion International Airport, the island’s biggest airport. 

Easily accessible yet surrounded by nature, Cretan Malia Park Hotel is also an ideal base for visitors wishing to combine a laidback holiday with exploring Crete’s historic riches and charming tradition. Sites such as the Minoan Palace of Knossos and the Lassithi Plateau, not to mention the welcoming towns of Heraklion and Panagia Kera, are all close by.
