Just 20 km from Heraklion town and 50 km from Rethymnon town, Agia Pelagia is one of our favourite seaside villages in Crete, combining wonderful views, natural rugged coastline, bays, inlets and sandy beaches with turquoise waters, a string of tavernas and great facilities.

The resort, which extends from the western end of Agia Pelagia beach over the headland and encompasses the beautiful Cladissos Beach, is cutting edge, and exhibits some of the best design in the country. 

Out of the Blue Resort  in Agia Pelagia is simply a spectacular resort. Physical beauty and plenty of open space await you at this garden-filled peninsula, complimented by a fine selection of accommodation options, and fine dining experiences.

The outdoor studios are private and surrounded by lush green gardens, a walk down to Cladissos beach with its pretty tamarisk trees is a must. Diving is available from the resort, Divers Club Crete having operated from this location for many years.

With five restaurants and five bars to cater for, the resort produces its own organic produce from within and outside of the grounds.

On offer is a spectacular Minoan village - creating history for children and adults alike - celebrating Crete and Europe's very first inhabitants.

With something for all ages, the resort keeps its own zoo, delighting children who are especially catered for.

...and of course we wouldn’t mention this resort unless it provided spa facilities including massage, so you can relax and unwind in blissful nourishing care...ahh...

Enjoy private massage sessions or unique hydrotherapies within the grounds of the resort. The Euphoria Spa also offers hamam and sauna facilities.

The resort offers yoga retreats, detox retreats, raw food or organic food options, nutritional programs and aging well programs. The health programs are world class and supported by professional staff and the calming natural environment.
