The hype
Guests rave about the staff treating them like family and the 'conscious luxury' ethos, but some feel the prices are steep for the reduced facility footprint.
Phāea Blue - Small Luxury Hotels of the World
$400-800/ 晚
如果以下情况适用，请预订 You want the legendary Blue Palace views and service without the mega-resort crowds (or the construction noise of its neighbor).
为什么人们喜欢它
- Epic views of Spinalonga Island from almost everywhere
- Private heated pools in many bungalows
- Intimate, boutique vibe (only 47 rooms) compared to the former massive resort
快速了解： This is the 'lite' version of the old Blue Palace—smaller, quieter, and more exclusive, but you're basically staying next door to a future Rosewood construction site.
@lifeofabarbie 的评论: I felt like I was living in a movie here. Waking up to the view of Spinalonga from my private terrace was surreal. The service is impeccable, and lounging by my own pool with a glass of wine was the ultimate reset. It’s expensive, but absolutely worth the splurge.

常见问题和隐藏提示
预订前您真正想了解的一切。
Is the whole hotel under construction?
No. Phāea Blue is a standalone boutique section (47 rooms) that is fully open. The *rest* of the former resort is closed for renovation into a Rosewood.
Is the pool heated?
Yes, private pools in the Island Suites and Villas are heated, which is a game-changer in May/October.
Can I walk to town?
Yes, the village of Plaka is a short 5-10 minute walk (or quick buggy ride) away.
Is it kid-friendly?
Technically yes, but the vibe is heavily skewed toward couples and quiet luxury. Kids might be bored without the big resort clubs.
How is the beach?
It's a private pebble beach with wooden walkways and plush loungers. Crystal clear water, but rocky entry.
Is there a gym?
Yes, a 168m² indoor/outdoor fitness center with Technogym equipment.
内部人士建议
- ✨
Skip the hotel lunch one day and walk to 'Giorgos Plaka' for fresh fish right on the rocks.
- ✨
The 'Phāea Farmers Feast' pop-up is worth the splurge—you harvest ingredients and eat in the garden.
- ✨
Request a room near the top for better views, but be prepared for the funicular wait.
出发前需要了解的5件事
💡The 'funicular' is the lifeline of the resort; if it breaks (rare but happens), it's a steep hike.
💡You can actually see the island of Spinalonga from your bed in some suites.
💡The neighboring construction is the elephant in the room—staff try to ignore it, but you might see cranes.
💡Room service prices are eye-watering (€18 for dessert).
💡The 'private' beach is lovely but can get windy in the afternoons.
