All that lies between the white-washed buildings of this charming hotel and a wide sandy beach stretching as far as the eye can see are lush tropical gardens and a generous expanse of lawn. Add to this an inviting swimming pool, a beachfront taverna and bar and you have one of the most appealing properties in the Simpson portfolio.
Our superb 2-bedroom family penthouse and 23 light and airy suites offer comfortable furnishings, delightful sea views and a relaxed pace of life that induces a wonderful sense of wellbeing. Breakfast is served every morning on the terrace by the swimming pool overlooking the beach where soft, deep sand is shaded by tamarind trees and slopes gently into shallow water. Relaxation comes in many forms and for those who enjoy being pampered, GK Beach offers a holistic range of calming treatments whilst Simpson Travel’s knowledgeable concierge service can arrange anything from a special celebration to a personalised itinerary for a full day of island exploration. Our dedicated minibus at the hotel is available for day trips and excursions and we strongly recommend a trip to the historic Venetian harbour of Chania, just a 25-minute drive away.
Fringed by the magnificent White Mountains of western Crete, GK Beach Hotel is an ideal spot in spring and autumn for walkers and explorers to enjoy the delightful traditional inland villages, hardly changed for generations, whilst the local shops and restaurants in nearby Kalyves are a 20-minute stroll away.
In peak weeks of the summer holidays, younger guests aged 5 to 11 can enjoy a complimentary range of children's activities courtesy of our Beach Life programme.
