Why It Matters
One of very few adults-only all-inclusive resorts in Crete operating at a genuine luxury level. Listed in the Michelin Guide, Green Key certified, and part of the Omicron Hotels family. The resort sits cliff-side, giving nearly every room panoramic Aegean views. The dining program — with a Michelin-starred chef collaboration at Caléa and a Nikkei-cuisine restaurant, UMI — punches well above typical all-inclusive fare.
Perched on a headland above Mononaftis Bay on northern Crete's rocky coastline, Seaside A Lifestyle Resort is a 5-star, adults-only, all-inclusive property that spreads across multiple cliff-side levels — so much so that guests arrive by golf buggy to reach their rooms. The design is earthy and understated: whitewashed walls, raw wood, natural stone, and boho-chic neutral tones that lean into the landscape rather than fighting it. It's a Michelin Guide-listed property run by the family-owned Omicron Hotels group, which gives it a warmth that big-chain all-inclusives rarely manage.
Where You'll Stay
12 room types available
Cape Suites
One of the standout room categories — a suite with sea views and a private pool. Earthy textures, custom wood designs, bright open interiors. Sits 26-30 sqm but the private plunge pool makes it feel much more generous. A favorite for honeymooners.
28 sqmCasa Swim Up Sea View
Step directly from your terrace into a shared pool with sea views. Earthy neutral palette with boho-chic touches. These are among the most-booked room categories at the resort and a real upgrade over standard rooms.
27 sqmCasa Swim Up Sunset View
A west-facing swim-up room built specifically around sunset watching. Pool steps directly off the terrace, and the orientation means afternoon light floods the space. Popular for romantic stays.
27 sqmLifestyle Suite Mountain or Garden View
Inland-facing junior suite with the same refined design as the sea view version. If you can stomach the lack of sea views, this comes in at a lower price and still delivers on the eco-chic aesthetic.
30 sqmLifestyle Suite Sea View
Earthy textures, custom wood designs, and a genuinely spacious feel for the category. Sea views from the terrace. Features a main bed and a sofa bed — useful if you want slightly more breathing room than the Prime rooms.
30 sqmLoft Suites
Two-floor suites with a mix of classic and contemporary decor. The largest standard suite category. Overlook the Mediterranean with the extra volume of a double-height living space. Good for two couples or those wanting genuine suite-scale square footage.
42 sqmLoft Suites With Private Pool
The two-floor loft format paired with a private pool. The pool is positioned to capture the colours of the Mediterranean. Top category for groups of four who want both space and pool privacy.
42 sqmPrime Room Garden View
Inland-facing room with garden views. Larger footprint than the standard Prime Sea View at 26-30 sqm. Same earthy, neutral design language — just without the sea panorama. Comes with access to a sharing pool.
28 sqmPrime Sea View
Compact but well-designed rooms with minimal, rustic decor — neutral tones, wooden elements, and coastal aesthetic. The sea views are the main draw here. Balcony or terrace with direct views of the Aegean.
24 sqmPrime Side Sea View
Same footprint as the Prime Sea View but with an angled sea vista. Boho-chic earth tones and wooden furnishings. Good entry-level option at a slightly lower price point than full sea-view rooms.
24 sqmSuites On The Rocks with Private Infinity Pool
The most dramatic rooms at the resort, positioned directly above the rocky cliffs. Private infinity pool that appears to spill into the Aegean below. Earth tones, contemporary-chic design, and an orientation that maximises the Mediterranean views. The 26-30 sqm footprint is compact, but the infinity pool experience more than compensates.
28 sqmSummer Suites with Private Pool
Two separate bedroom suite with its own private pool. Boho-chic custom wood interiors, 40 sqm footprint. Ideal for two couples or those who want genuine separation within the suite space. Designed around the colours of the Mediterranean.
