Bungalows on the water in Crete

A resort has decided to throw down the gauntlet to the iconic water dwellings of the Maldives. Why not repeat that format in Greece? The name you need to type in the search engines is. The Stella Island Luxury Resort & Spa. It is located in Crete, and its fame is rising rapidly, given the now famous Maldives experience in the Mediterranean Sea, which, needless to say, is offered at an enormously lower price than the "original trip."

Reservations open for the new Hilton Maldives Amingiri

The facility boasts a total of 225 rooms and the bungalows on the water represent only a part of it. Comfort reigns supreme, as evidenced by the varied services offered to guests. Lovers of physical activity can have the freedom of not having to interrupt their workouts; in fact, there is a fully equipped gym. Those, on the other hand, who want nothing more than to relax can take advantage of the splendid spa, as well as the huge swimming pool. Come evening, the choice is among five fine restaurants.

The property is located on the north coast of Crete. The views are dreamy and wandering the local streets, savoring the local culture, is priceless. All of this makes up for that vague fish-tank feeling that some might have in navigating the maxi pool where the bungalows are resting. These boast a mix of wood and glass. Guests will have free access to the pool and sunbathing platforms. These are communal and private, that is, placed in strategic areas of the facility or tied to the bungalow as a balcony over the water. Then, for a cool down, there are bathrooms with large walk-in showers and double sinks.
