Crete, the mythical birthplace of Europe and Zeus, the thunder god, has long been an enchanting destination with its crystal-clear waters, white pebble beaches, and majestic mountainscapes. Steeped in history and natural beauty, the island is set to welcome a new chapter in its legacy with the introduction of Rosewood Blue Palace, marking Rosewood Hotels & Resorts‘ grand entrance into Greece.

Embracing Rosewood’s guiding philosophy, A Sense of Place®, the resort aims to offer guests an immersive experience that connects them to Crete’s unique culture and history. The chic and timeless backdrop sets the stage for an unforgettable retreat.
Elevated Seclusion and Bespoke Service
With 154 rooms and suites, 85 featuring private pools, Rosewood Blue Palace promises elevated seclusion for those seeking a truly intimate experience.
