Avra Imperial Hotel

A landmark of refined contemporary opulence, Avra Imperial Hotel in Kolymbari stands proudly on the stunning coastline of Crete, where the turquoise waves embrace the fine bay. As you step into the lobby, your senses are immediately enveloped by a seamless blend of sophisticated design and Minoan architectural inspiration, a nod to the island's storied past. The lobby's aesthetic is nothing short of breathtaking: natural light pours through expansive windows, illuminating fetching geometric patterns and judicious use of marble; local artworks add cultural context, enhancing the atmosphere of understated elegance. Moving through the hotel, you will discover three stunning swimming pools, an indoor heated pool, and spacious pool lounges that beckon for relaxation. The Aura pool bar vibrates with energy, inviting you to sip signature cocktails while soaking in the warm Cretan sun. Dining is an affair to remember, whether you sample the Cretan-inspired dishes at Xatheri restaurant, or embark on a culinary journey through the East at Blue Dōng. The APIVITA Spa stands as one of the largest in the region, an expansive 1,900 m² sanctuary offering a meticulously curated selection of treatments designed to rejuvenate the body and soul.
