Leisure & Entertainment
Pools
There are three outdoor pools to choose from, giving you plenty of space to find the atmosphere that suits your day. Two form the main pool scene, while a quieter pool offers an alternative when uninterrupted relaxation is the priority.
Waterfront & Floating Sea Deck
The resort sits directly by the water, with its floating sea deck creating a particularly appealing place to soak up the Cretan sunshine. It's worth noting that this is more of a stylish waterfront experience than a conventional wide sandy resort beach – something that gives Aulūs Chania a distinctive feel.
Wellness Activities
Wellness goes beyond the spa, with activities designed to bring a slower pace to your holiday. The programme can include:
- Yoga
- Meditation
- Sound healing
- Pilates and fitness activities
Activities and schedules may vary.
Day & Evening Entertainment
Daytime and evening entertainment form part of the all inclusive experience, alongside themed nights and cultural activities. The overall atmosphere remains geared towards adults, making it easy to dip into the entertainment without losing the relaxed couples-focused feel of the resort.
Discover Chania
Chania Old Town Experience
One of the more unusual elements of the All Inclusive concept is the opportunity to experience Chania beyond the resort. The hotel's curated Chania Old Town evening experience includes return transfers and a welcome drink, followed by time to discover the city's historic streets and atmosphere.
It's a great addition for couples who want the simplicity of All Inclusive without spending their entire holiday inside the resort.
