Top Spa & Wellness Stays in Chania Town

I would choose it for families who want space and self-catering.

For couples, it offers a calm base in Chania: every suite has a private balcony or patio, breakfast is served in the room, and the spa with its hammam, the seasonal pool and the garden make it easy to rest between outings. Nea Chora Beach is less than 1 km away for a swim before dinner.

A hot tub, a spa bath and a patio give a quiet place after walking the old town, and a 24-hour front desk and concierge help with plans. Rated 9.8 from 59 reviews, I recommend it for couples.

AZADE Chania puts families within a short walk of Nea Chora Beach, a sheltered town beach, and the Old Venetian Harbour, so the car can stay parked.

No pool or kids' club is listed, so plan time at the beach.
