Seaside A Lifestyle Resort, Crete, Greece
Seaside A Lifestyle Resort
A cliffside haven with stunning Aegean sea views
Above the northern coast of Crete, where the Aegean shimmers below and olive groves sway in the breeze, Seaside A Lifestyle Resort feels like the island’s best-kept secret. Here, luxury lives gently—woven into sweeping views, sun-warmed stone, and the scent of sea salt and pine.
Suites are spacious, light-filled sanctuaries dressed in soft tones and tactile textures. Some gaze out over the cobalt sea, others onto gardens tangled in green. King-size beds, designer details, and breezy balconies set the mood for slow mornings and long, golden dusks.
Dining is a celebration of contrast and craft: sushi and sashimi under the stars at UMI, rich local flavours at Eleonas tucked between ancient trees, generous buffets at Veranda, and timeless Greek warmth at the Minoan Taverna. Every dish is a love letter to the land—or a journey far beyond it.

A 10/10 experience. My husband and I came on 16th August for a 5 night stay, for our 1 year anniversary/babymoon and we had an excellent stay. They provided wine and a note in our room which was a nice touch. We stayed in room 112 which is a sea view duplex, it was a two floor room with a living area and bathroom downstairs and a bedroom and toilet room upstairs. It also has two balconies, one upstairs and one downstairs with amazing views of the sea. The hotel and grounds itself are absolutely beautiful, kept clean and the views are stunning no matter where you look. The staff are friendly and very helpful. The man at the main pool bar (Thalassa bar) was especially lovely, his name is Bolent I believe. He truly made our experience stand out as he was so friendly and welcoming. The staff in the main restaurant work so hard, drinks come quickly and plates are cleared at a reasonable time. Everyone is very welcoming. The food is honestly 10/10, as a vegetarian it’s the best food I’ve ever had at a hotel. There were so many vegetarian and vegan options and all delicious. My husband is a meat eater and he also loved the food. The desserts are especially impressive and all vegetarian. The pool areas are really clean with enough sun beds everyone. You can go to the snack bars and grab any snacks you want unlimited and order drinks. The pool right at the top is more shallow and the main pool on the second floor is deeper. Just a heads up - the beach is really tiny and a pebble beach and always busy so we didn’t really go there and stayed by the pool. There are also a lot of stairs so I wouldn’t recommend if you’re heavily pregnant (I was 24 weeks) however they have a buggy service you can call at any time to take you anywhere around the hotel. Overall we had an excellent time and I would highly recommend!
The most beautiful hotel and resort! We were so sad to go home, all of the staff were incredible. The facilities were amazing, clean and the food was fantastic. Already would love to come back and try a different room type!
Wir waren vom 11.08-18.08 bei euch im Seaside . Ein wirklich einmaliges tolles Erlebnis. Sehr gutes Essen mit einer reichhaltigen Auswahl . Die Zimmer sind gut . Die Lage ist top und man hat eine bemerkenswerte Aussicht. Alles im allem ,würden wir uneingeschränkt wieder zu euch kommen . Danke für den schönen Aufenthalt bei euch. P.S Ein kleiner Wermutstropfen war allerdings das Frühstück bei der Abreise um 6.00Uhr . Zwei sehr trocken Brote und eine mini Auswahl an Aufschnitt ( eine Sorte Wurst ). Die Honigmelone war schon sehr überreif , sowas sieht beim Aufschneiden. Schade das hätte man nicht so anbieten müssen. Lg
