Planning a trip to Crete?<\/a><\/strong> Good for you! After months and months of work, you deserve a real break! This is why choosing the right hotel is key. In Crete, hotels come in all forms and sizes, and many come with a swimming pool. But maybe you’d rather enjoy your very own pool than wait for your turn to go in the shared one? Nothing is impossible in Crete, and sometimes the price is very reasonable too. So here’s our shortlist of 10 hotels with private pools for your dream holiday in Crete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Royal Heights Resort is situated on 24 hectares of land, so there is plenty of space in here! The resort has multiple swimming pools and a spa. It offers elegant rooms with verandas, but that’s not all. You can also find villas with a private swimming pool. Of course, the beaches of Malia are only a 2-minute drive away, but the pleasure of having a swimming pool just for you will make you forget this small detail. Another thing that makes this place great is the fact that you can go to the Heraklion International Airport in just 20 minutes by car.<\/p>\n\n\n
