Perched on the Cretan coastline above Agia Pelagia, Out Of The Blue Resort commands unobstructed views across the Aegean Sea, with whitewashed architecture rising from terraced cliffs that drop 80 meters to turquoise waters below. The property's elevated vantage point frames sunsets across open sea, while the surrounding landscape alternates between Mediterranean scrub, olive groves, and dramatic limestone formations. This clifftop setting creates a natural amphitheater for ceremonies and receptions with the sea as your backdrop.

  • Clifftop location 80 meters above sea level with panoramic Aegean views
  • Private beach access via stone pathway and elevator descending the cliff face
  • On-site hotel accommodates up to 150 guests across 130+ rooms and suites
  • Three distinct event spaces: seaside terraces, poolside pavilion, and indoor hall with sea-view windows
  • All-inclusive dining options with Mediterranean cuisine and Greek wine selection
