The hotel’s beachfront is a true gem, with its sandy shore of unparalleled beauty and a prestigious Blue Flag award for cleanliness and eco-friendliness. Here, you’ll find crystal-clear waters perfect for swimming and soaking in the sun. Aquila Porto Rethymno ensures your comfort with sunbeds, umbrellas, and a beach bar service offering refreshing drinks, coffee, cocktails, and light lunch. Treats such as watermelon slices and granita are often served, adding a delightful touch to your beach day. For those seeking a bit more activity, the beach also offers a variety of water sports and organized activities to keep you entertained.

Our outdoor pools provide a relaxing escape—one recently refurbished for tranquility, surrounded by lush greenery for a secluded feel, and an elevated one with breathtaking Aegean views, blending the resort’s luxury with the sea’s natural beauty. These freshwater pools (170m² and 80m²) ensure ample space for stylish relaxation. Meanwhile, at Anatolitiko Lounge, you can enjoy a light lunch, refreshing smoothies, cocktails, and coffee, making your poolside experience even more delightful.

We are not only passionate about providing unforgettable holidays but also deeply committed to protecting the natural wonders that make Crete so special. Our beach is a nesting ground for the endangered Loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta), and we’re proud to play a part in their conservation. With the guidance of Archelon, the Sea Turtle Protection Society of Greece, we actively participate in monitoring nesting areas and protecting nests. We encourage our guests to join us in protecting these magnificent creatures by respecting our guidelines and learning more about their fascinating life cycle.
Together, we can ensure that future generations witness the magic of these ancient mariners returning to our shores.
