Alai, Crete sits on the beachfront in Stalis, where the island’s northern coast meets low mountains, palm-lined terraces and a long sandy shore. Rooms and suites are designed in a contemporary Cretan style, with pale timber, woven textures, balconies and views that draw the sea into the room. Dining moves between Raeti, Lyhnama, Strata Kafe, the lobby bar and the open-air Sealai Bar Restaurant, while the pool, beach, fitness centre, watersports access and relaxed event spaces shape days around the resort. The locationkeeps Heraklion, Malia and Hersonissos within easy reach.
