Hotels with sea view in Malia

The High Beach Resort is a very well-maintained and visually appealing hotel complex. We arrived on April 2nd, 2026, the official start of the season

According to locals, the day before the hotel opened, Crete experienced an unprecedented weather phenomenon – a Saharan sandstorm that left unmistakable traces and completely undid the extensive cleaning work carried out beforehand at the hotel complex

The hotel has really surprised us with its extremely warm hospitality and high level of the standards. The territory, rooms and the beach are clean and wery well maintained. The staff is absolutely friendly and useful

Had such a lovely and relaxing experience getting a full body massage with my misses, both of us left like new people, had to give a shout out to bibi , Pavlos, Maria.

room, beautifully designed and that seemed to be new, good, big bed, excelent bathroom with big towels and bathrobes, and a good view to the sea from the nice balcony

We had a very lovely experience in the High Beach Spa! Pavlos and Maria made our Massages very well and we are very pleased and relaxed! Thank you so much ☺️

I give only 4 stars because the beach had mountains of seaweed and wasnt cleaned even if the beach is private, so i used the swimming pools, which were pretty nice

Honestly the most beautiful and friendlist hotel i have ever been to. We arrived late in the evening not expecting to be able to eat anything but the restaurant had left us a meal with bread and fruit plate

It was hard to say goodbye yesterday. Always on the wall outside the main buffet restaurant and the bar outside with a bent ear. Have a great rest, roll on 2026!! Well done to all the staff, they all work incredibly hard

By the end of day one we were planning our next visit! Travelling with Crohn’s disease isn’t always easy, but Giannis and his staff were so incredibly helpful with food selections that they made our stay so very simple

Great resort, very relaxing, friendly and peaceful overall. The spa is great. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Overall is a great experience, this was my third time returning and would definitely come back.

Amazing 5 star Resort for couples who wants a romantic getaway. We went there in early November and had a nice experience with the Spa and Wellness Team: Wendy, Christina and Tina

It was an amazing stay! 3 days of relaxation in a small quite hotel! The daily buffet was really tasty but the highlight of this hotel is the nice behaviour of the staff!

Beautiful resort in a beautiful location, however, few things are missing to give it a full score. The hotel offers great views at the mountains on one side and the open sea on the other

Amazing hotel! At first I was a bit worried about the bad weather but everything changed by my arrival! One of the most cleaned hotel with staff like family

The rooms are clean, bright and well equipped we had a room with a jacuzzi we stayed in room 1212 had a pool and sea view from the balcony but nice and quiet

The hotel is absolutely spotless the attention to detail is second to none, the pool is clean and very relaxing, cocktails are amazing especially made by Maria during the day or Carlos at night, breakfast there is a huge selection catering for every fussy eater, my only criticism is the evening selection is more catered for the Germans so we ended up eating out 4 of our 7 night stay unless you wanted...

Amazing staff really welcoming and friendly very upbeat and happy, good choice of food to pick from all inclusive drinks with wide range! Clean hotel overall atmosphere amazing very helpful with what things to do if stuck! Food served pretty much all day and of course drinks

We stayed at this hotel in the penultimate week of the season so had the benefit of great weather at a quieter time

The hotel is located a good 30/45 min walk from the main hustle and bustle of Malia with very little nearby (although a nearby restaurant by the port and Eva Taverna are worth venturing out to, both only 10/15 min walk)

We loved the beach which is just at the back of our hotel. No complaints other than there was no evening entertainment but I am guessing it was because we went end of season

Hey we had a great time. My daughter has coeliac disease. So gluten free. The chefs and catering staff did so much fir her. Everyday they made her fresh food. I will come back next year. I miss so much. Cold here.

Special call-outs to George, Kalimera and Stella on the front desk with their welcoming smiles (and thanks to Stella for the late checkout), to Karim and Hassan in the restaurant who we very much enjoyed chats with every mealtime ("Shukran!"), to George the live-grill chef who was always so friendly (and a great singer), despite having been working long hours, and the effervescent, vibrant Hope in...

The only things I would question is having one person behind the main bar and some times no glasses ( disposable plastic cups) error no and a two drink limit ( Not good if your a family of 4 , join the queue again !! Bar staff and restaurant staff are amazing and work their backsides off to please,entertainment of some sorts nearly everynight , everywhere spotless , great beach ( shame you have to...

There is someone at the front desk 24/7, which made us feel safe. The gardens were full of flowers and trees — a small paradise. The pool was crystal clear, with an incredible pool bar

It was one of the best 10-day vacations we've ever had with my partner. The rooms were beautiful, the housekeeping staff came in every day, and everything was spotless

Breakfast had plenty of options, the coffee was excellent, and the service from the girls working there was amazing. They had an answer to all our questions and helped us a lot

Overall, all the rooms do need a little renovation, especially the bathrooms however, considering the prices, this hotel is good value for money and I recommend it. Mostly clean, with very few spots, dust, etc

Very lovely hotel Stuff very professional There are here in a touch Room very clean room service top Beakfast really a lot of choice Swimmingpool clean The bar very good kitchen very good Stuff bar kitchen 5/5

Luckily, the staff was very friendly and helpful (family-run) and they moved us to another room, overlooking the pool. It was much better - modern beds and no noise at all

We stayed for one week and we felt very good! All the staff was very polite and always smiling and ready to help. The rooms are very clean, the pool was nice even in october and the food was delicious and diverse.

We landed in Heraklion, to absolutely no wheelchairs at all, security told us to take a seat and they’d find us a chair, 30 mins later, still no chair so walked to baggage claim

Only a small amount of rooms so always space by the bar and pool. No sunbed races in the morning! Foods of a good variance in the restaurant each night with your stable chips option if nothing takes your fancy

The ruby royal area gets sun later in the day so if thats what you are after, get one of those rooms. All staff very welcoming and pleasant

The Cretan old town is only a 10 minute walk south, and the beach a 10 minute walk north

Crispy around the edges then placed on a hot plate. Similar with varying foods every time. This station should be cooking as requested. It takes 2 minutes to cook an egg. I'd much prefer to have it cooked for me

Great staff and quality experience. I will never forget this holiday and they friends we met here. All the people here were really friendly and run well by the staff

Antisocial behaviour NOT tolerated at all! Food fresh and gorgeous. few mins walk one direction brought you to the funky strip

Great idea not to charge for air con as keeps the price low but there if you need it, makes perfect sense so you're not paying for something you might not need, especially out of season

The atmosphere was so chilled and I had the best relaxing week! The old town which was 10 minutes walk away was absolutely beautiful, lots of restaurants to chose from away from the main *****

The hotel was lovely, with an excellent location next to the old town, where there were loads of lovely restaurants. Great swimming pool and friendly staff, particularly Maria

The only comment would be the need for more storage in the room, maybe some more drawers and a slightly larger kitchen area

Away from all the party places , yet still in walking distance if we wanted the night life and the huge selection of amazing restaurants. We had a constant view of the sea

There is a sandy swimming beach a few meters from the hotel. Beautiful clean swimming pool in the hotel area which faces the sea. Tula was amazing organising a taxi transfer for us to and from the airport

Without doubt the best Hotel we have ever stayed at. From the location to the facilities everything was perfect. The owners Manos and Tula helped by their lovely children couldn’t do enough for us

She was so helpful in recommending authentic Greek restaurants. The bar area at the hotel ended every night perfectly with a great selection of night cap drinks

Gorgeous property right in the beach with a nice pool and bar, rooms are spacious with great balconies. Highly recommend!

PERFECT and we will definitely come back when visiting this beautiful corner of dream island Crete again 😍

There are beach actvities (paragliding,banana, sofa rides etc plus jet ski), all at a cost, as these are all open to the public. We enjoyed the small, but well maintained pool area

There is a second pool for children, but not many used it, sadly. Board basis is bed and breakfast, but guests were forbidden from having their own food at the pool area, as there is a beach bar selling drinks and snacks

The hotel has extremely hard working staff who work tirelessly to try and make a good experience for guests, in a hotel with limited possibiities

There is a beach with loungers, but although part of the hotel, one is expected to pay 10€ each for the priviledge of enjoying them

I think this opens at night for business. The restaurant area is plain and unassuming and reasonably comfortable

Located in Malia with easy access to tavernas, nightclubs and bars, this hotel holds a good position

Overall an amazing stay for me and my friend. The location is great and convenient walking distance to the beach. Extremely friendly staff who made my stay even better and accommodated our needs

Before the wedding day we organized a small party at the party, Maria helped us with food and drinks, everything was perfect. We stayed for 2 weeks, during which time we were always greeted with smiles by the hotel staff

Our stay was very lovely and convenient as the hotel was at a perfect distance from all the shops, beach and Malia strip. The workers were all kind and hospitable

The atmosphere of the hotel was good and nice for relaxing

Our stay at Hotel Sella Maria was truly exceptional! From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive – always ready to assist with anything we needed

Everything you need – restaurants, shops, and the sea – is right there. What made this stay truly special was how cared for we felt

Stayed here twice bit pricey but well worth it, has a fantastic swimming pool and has easy access to the beach, also has sunbeds to hire

Very nice hotel, great location, friendly staff, good rooms, pool, close to the beach, good price. Can recommend :)

We stayed at this hotel for a week and everything was great. The room was cleaned daily, the food was good, and the location was fantastic, right by the sea

We'd like to thank Ariadne for a wonderful week spent on beautiful Crete

We had a good stay! However, you have to pay for the sun loungers at the pool. The staff is very, very friendly, except for the head waiter

Very nice hotel, located between sea and main road of beautiful village of Stalida. One can walk along the road visiting cute shops and restaurants. We loved the location and the village very much

Clean comfortable apartment. Greek style. Full set of dishes, daily cleaning. For any ages. Sandy beach, 2 min away.

Very nice place for all ages. In quiet area, but walking distance to the main road. Fully equipped, recently renovated. No any construction around. Next to 5* hotels.

Beach just 5min walk, sunbeds rent by restaurant between the all inclusive hotels or just a empty beach on the right. Check in was confusingly bad, didnt feel welcome at all and had no info about anything (e

when the breakfast and how much, restaurant opening hours,). Felt more like i bothered them when the lady finally came to the reception. Check out was just "thank you", not interested how was my stay

My room was at the back of the hotel yard and the night show was just behind trees next the hotel. Very good breakfast with many options. Pool was nice and nice sun loungers

Water pressure in the shower very good! Around the hotel there are 2 big all inclusive hotels and one of them or some bar had every evening night show

modern spacious well planned facilities great view on sea and beach well organisés beach with reserved beach beds. good restaurant on the beach plenty of public spaces on property

Luxury suites directly on the beach. The summer breeze is keeping us totally relaxed. Very clean and very luxus rooms while the service team is Very friendly. Superior service from breakfast to dinner

What a beautiful resort and what a nice people. Especially Didi she is very friendly always joyful. She represent a very nice wellness. Also the staff in the wellness is very professional

The furnishings are modern and very clean. There are loungers available for each room on the beach. The two restaurants are well run and the food is delicious and varied

We had an exceptional experience with the wellness services at High Beach Melia Hotel. My wife and I were thoroughly satisfied with the excellent service provided

Additionally, Didi's professional approach in arranging a suitable time and space for our session was commendable. We highly recommend their services

The hotel is very nice and recommendable, not too big and a well-kept complex. The service is great, Maria Brazil and her colleagues are very friendly. A few minutes walk to the beach and the pool is fantastic too

They are friendly, attentive, and always have an open ear. We particularly want to mention Maria from the reception. She welcomed us warmly, is professional, and a wonderful person

We can only recommend this hotel to singles, couples, and others who want to travel away from package tourism. Thank you very much and see you next time

Thanks for everything! Especially for your kindness, dear Maria from the reception, Maria Brazil and all the other support from the crew. We hope to be able to come back soon!

There are no regular restaurants around the hotel that can meet the quality of food presented here! The employees are all so friendly and kind, giving you the best service and completing the whole holiday experience at the Kalypso hotel!!! We will return here again and can recommend it without any doubts…

The Kalypso in Malia - Crete is a little gem. The hotel is quietly located and the city center (party mile) can be reached in just a 15-minute walk

Had booked happy days for a break and after reading some of the reviews was wondering what I had done 😱 well I had booked a brilliant stay at a lovely hotel where the room was immaculate ,spotless , had everything you could need including booklet in several languages explaining the rules and other things about hotel

I came home early hours of this morning and I had the best time here. i was so relaxed and chilled here. The family will do anything to help you. i had a walk to the main beach,which took me 30 minutes walking

I can see why they ask everyone to be quiet on balcony's after 11pm as some people do go to bed early and want to sleep without being disturbed. It's in an ideal spot 10 minute stroll away from the strip

there is lots of shops on the way down and places to eat and drink. i got a taxi to potamos beach,which is beautiful. All in all I'd definitely go back

If you want to interact just go to bar, quiet time no problems, well looked after and the best thing I can say, looking forward going back there

Staff were lovely food amazing and cocktails 🍸 good and everything so cheap. 8euro for a pawnstar Martini 4 for large draft beer 🍺

It’s just a 3–5 minute walk to the beach, with a dedicated exit leading straight there, and even a shower next to that exit for rinsing off after swimming. Also, by that exit, there’s a children’s play area

I was pleasantly surprised by how close the shops were. As soon as you exit the hotel, there’s George’s Supermarket on the right-hand side, and on the left, a souvenir shop

Across the road, you’ll find another convenience store. Need a pharmacy? It’s just two right turns away – walk past George’s Supermarket, then turn right at the junction

For added convenience, you can rent vehicles (cars, ATVs, scooters, etc. ) right next to George’s Supermarket. The hotel also has its own parking area near the beach exit

The restaurant serves delicious food and suits everyone without costing too much. The bar area is very clean and has seating if you would like to have a conversation with the bartender

I stayed at Philoxenia Hotel with two family members for 12 nights in late September to mid-October, and to sum it up – it was excellent, from the area to the food

The location of the hotel is in a good part of the city, practically in the center. Bars are nearby, a shopping center is nearby and buses stop nearby. The road to the sea is quite straight, about 900 m

The hotel is a very nice place to stay if you are looking for a quiet place to sleep and relax, nice staff, clean rooms and good food. The staff were very polite and if you are respectful, you will earn respect

Location: close to the center of town, about 20 minutes walk to the beach, the same amount to the mountains. Lots of grocery and souvenir stores, restaurants and bars. Service: very nice, helpful, doing a great job

Parking just In front of the hotel in public parking. Rooms clean, cleaned out every day. The pool is just perfect for an after beach relax or upon a windy day. Malia old town is a must and it is just 5min walking

Bravo! Additional perks: neat little pool, sun loungers with umbrellas, shower and toilet by the pool, hotel lobby bar (chips, drinks), helpful hotel owner

The hotel is close to the strip in a quiet area but is quite far from the beach. For its category, it is an excellent hotel

Perfectly located to explore the old town’s traditional Tavernas but only a 10 minute walk to the craziness of ‘the strip’ if that’s what you want. Iro and Stavros lead a lovely team to look after all of your needs

But the staff was what made our vacation amazing. They were incredibly friendly and made us feel like part of the family! Thank U Maria, Janette, Manos and Jannis for those perfect 7 Days! We would come back, anytime!

Absolutely loved this hotel, room was basic, but clean, only paid 35 euros to stay a whole extra day as our flight wasn't untill 2am the next day. All the staff were happy, friendly. Will definitely come back

Clean, comfortable rooms with basic but adequate self catering facilities. A very nice pool area with plenty of padded sun beds and a choice of sun or shade. A bar with reasonably priced drinks and good food

Pitty you have to pay for the Wi-Fi in the room and the air-conditioning that did bump my spending money up a bit however, life is too short not to enjoy yourself as you can’t take the money with you

Bella Elena is just perfect! This was my second stay and it was the best holiday I've ever had. We stayed in one of the ground floor apartments, which was spotlessly clean and very comfortable

For the breakfast there is a many choices to eat, there is sweetness, salty, juices, cereals ect… In terms of proximity, there is a lot of restaurant near of the hotel, many nightclub, bars, tourism office to book an excursion, rental agencies to rent different type of vehicle as bike, scooter, quad, car

Amazing hotel with excellent service, friendly environment with great food and drinks, very good access to the pool and bar, my wife and I really liked it, we will go back and I recommend it

I usually don't write reviews so trust me when i say, we had the best time at Pasiphae hotel, rooms are very clean, food is delicious, especially dinner, they have a little pool where you can relax and swim or just enjoy on sun beds while having a couple of drinks, the place itself has perfect location because it's near the beach but also far enough from clubs so it's quiet and peaceful

The rooms were cleaned daily, the noise isolation was excellent, and everything we tried from the dinner menu was absolutely delicious. The Wi-Fi was impressively stable as well

The beach is just a 700-meter walk away, and there are plenty of markets and restaurants in the area. The bus stop is only a 3 minutes walk from the hotel. A perfect little oasis…we’re gonna definitely be coming back!

Breakfast (it's buffet) and dinner are delicious (12 different menus for dinner. You can choose every morning after breakfast what would you like for dinner that evening)

5 minutes from the beach and 5 minutes from the old town, perfect location and a great base from which to explore the island. Can't wait to come back next year

Very good hotel. Food very good. I can say that there was everything that should be in a three star hotel. Very friendly service.

The staff are incredible! Helpful and friendly and very knowledgeable. Not a bad word to say about the hotel, clean rooms, great service, fresh food and always a smile and a story

Staff was very friendly and always avaliable! Room was cleaned every day which was nice. The placement of the hotel is also a huge plus: 50 m to nearest supermarket and the main shopping street in Malia is also right by

This hotel is good if you want to explore malia and use the hotel for small breaks in your room or by the pool. If you want to just stay in the hotel, i would maybe recommend somewhere else😊

Luckily there are many amazing and affordable resturants nearby. The hotel is not very modern for its looks but does its job(nothing to complain about really)
