Amirandes in Gouves 700 14, open June–September.
Amirandes sprawls across Crete's north coast near Gouves, where Aegean waters meet sun-bleached beaches backed by Mediterranean scrub and distant mountains.
The 5-star hotel resort commands panoramic sea vistas from multiple levels, with terraced gardens sloping toward private shoreline.
Stone architecture and whitewashed elements reflect traditional Cretan style while modern luxury amenities serve as the operational backbone for celebrations of 20–150 guests.
The place is very clean, stylish and a real 5-star hotel. Rooms are very clean & nice. Great atmosphere. We went to free Pilates session & cookie session. Service is very accommodating, sauna open specially for us untill 21:00 instead of 18:00. Food is nice but only 1 restaurant available during low season.
