Fragrant gardens lapped by azure waters and palm-fringed lagoons swirling past natural stone terraces are the hallmarks of this relaxing yet sophisticated beachfront resort that offers the highest standards of Mediterranean luxury and refinement. Styled after the sprawling palaces of the Minoan kings and Venetian nobles who once ruled Crete, Amirandes introduces guests to the easy elegance of true European luxe. The architecture’s sleek lines sets off the celebrated beauty of the southern Mediterranean landscape of silver-flecked olive trees, tropical palms, and flowering shrubs against brilliant blue skies and sparkling teal waters. Natural stone terraces with sea views stretching to forever are perfect for whiling away tranquil mornings sipping coffee by the Olympic-sized swimming pool or for lazy sunset cocktails at the lagoon bar where you can flirtatiously dangle your toes in the water.
