Luxury, Comfort, and Authentic Cretan Charm

Esperides Resort Crete is located in the heart of the charming, traditional village of Koutouloufari, just 0.6 miles from Hersonissos. Amphitheatrically built, the resort features a collection of elegant buildings and suites, offering options such as private hot tubs, private pools, and stunning sea-view accommodations.

Each of our 132 suites is a haven of peace and luxury.

Our pristine pools are a micrograph of the endless blue Cretan Sea and sky. All common and private pools of the resort are heated between 1/4-31/5 and 26/09-05/11.

Fine dining and creative mixology complete a superior stay, while well-being therapies rejuvenate spirit and body in our exceptional spa.

At Esperides Resort Crete, you are treated like a king of the Minoan throne when it comes to services. But when it comes to personal experience, you are a friend who came a long way to return home.

OUR STORY

We have come a long way in hospitality, bringing a wide range of professionalism and knowledge to what we do.

The visionary Giannis Tsagarakis, the man behind Esperides Resort Crete, understands that pure luxury hospitality comes from understanding the past. Together with a local architect and an enthusiastic team of experts and travel professionals, he created an undisputed haven of modern luxury while highlighting the simple elements of the local aesthetics, history and culture of Koutouloufari Village and Crete.

That mindset has grown with time and has driven the founder and his team to create a resort that goes beyond just a stay by connecting the traveller to the place and supporting authentic experiences that showcase the hidden treasures of Crete. From the bottom to the very top, everyone on our team is important when it comes to creating beautiful travel memories. Gastronomy, well-being, architecture, traditions and history are our pillars of hospitality.

You can rely on our dedicated team to make your stay a perfect bespoke experience created with care just for you.

OUR INSPIRATION

We wear our rich heritage proudly on our sleeves, and we are excited to share our past and present with you.

Our connection with the past stays untouched, reflecting on our innovative ways to connect with our surroundings, people, culture and environment.

Passionate about Crete's heritage, legends and myths, we are happy to share one of the most beautiful narratives of immortality and prosperity in Greek mythology:

Esperides were nymphs of the dawn, keeping safe the garden of abundance where golden apples gave Greek Gods immortality.

This legend inspired us to envision a lush contemporary garden of comforts and design, engaging Greek culture and Cretan identity.

Esperides Resort is today a modern garden of abundance, a place where luxury interacts with Crete's authentic personality and welcomes you heartily, making nowness feel like an eternity.

We lift the curtain of five-star hospitality, bringing you a pure sense of joy.

Infusing our heart into hospitality, our core values are the principles that guide, inspire and motivate us.

For us, outstanding personalized service comes from understanding what our guests need and what our Cretan culture means, and we go out of our way to make every guest's holiday to Crete a real treasured memory.

We understand that value can be created with every encounter, bringing our individual expertise and love for what we do to reflect on daily operations and giving great attention to detail.
