Contact & Booking
  • Stella Island Resort in Crete is a 5 Star luxury, adults-only resort with a tremendously good reputation, and one which is, quite excitingly, home to one of only two overwater bungalow accommodations in Europe. (The other being at Palafitte Resort on the, rather chilly, Lake Neuchâtel in Switzerland.)

    It occupies a private stretch of Crete’s north coast and offers, amongst other things, excellent spa facilities, some of the very best food on the island and the opportunity to enjoy many sports including tennis and water sports. Guests also consistently praise the staff at Stella Island.

    The resort has various deals for you to choose from: You can go B&B/ breakfast only, have breakfast and dinner included in the room rate or go all-inclusive. In terms of value the breakfast and dinner included option seems the best, but only if you’re not a big drinker – if you’ll be getting stuck into the cocktails every evening then go for the all-inclusive.

    Stella Island, though large, is far more romantic getaway than party place. There are many lovely bars, lounges and restaurants to choose from but they close relatively early.

    THE ACCOMMODATION:

    There are 89 rooms, bungalows and villas at Stella Island, and all are top of the range. It is luxury accommodation but not in any kind of garish way. All are elegant and stylish and exhibit more than a touch of boho chic.

    Some rooms, on the first floor, have balconies that overlook the huge central lagoon pool while the ground floor rooms allow direct access to it. Their 12 ‘Island Villas’ come with their own private pools, and are relatively good value compared to the rooms.

    The overwater bungalows come in two forms the first, referred to as ‘Bungalow with Shared Pool’ on the booking page, are relatively small but beautifully designed, furnished and fitted. They feel private, cosy and romantic, and come with a terrace allowing direct access to the lagoon pool, and overwater hammocks.

    The second though – listed as ‘Grand Overwater Bungalow with Outdoor Jacuzzi’ on the booking page, are far superior. They are spacious and airy with high ceilings and large terraces that also allow direct access to the water and come with deck furniture, overwater hammocks and, as their title suggests, jacuzzis.

    They come with a premium of course but in our view they are worth it over the ‘Bungalows with Shared Pool.’

    PRICES:

    Check out all the details – prices, reviews & more photos, on the booking page here.

    Note – The overwater bungalows at Stella Island are their most popular accommodation choice. Prepare to book as early as possible. Our affiliate partnership with Booking.com allows you free cancellation on most bookings. 

    FACILITIES & THINGS TO DO:

    The food at Stella Island is consistently highly praised. You can choose between local Cretan and a range of international food, including sushi for example. Their breakfast is a veritable feast – a large buffet style spread with a choice of freshly prepared plates, both hot and cold, that include some interesting local options.

    It is as good a breakfast buffet as you will find in Crete and the service in the restaurants and bars, and throughout the resort is top notch. The staff are super helpful but also cheerful and friendly – they all seem extremely happy to work there and that creates a very nice atmosphere.

    The resort though is a sophisticated place it must be pointed out and as such they have certain little rules like not allowing shorts or bare feet in the restaurants.

    The spa at Stella Island is as stylish and nice as you’d be inclined to imagine after breezing through the rest of the resort. There, amongst other things, you will find an elevated pool with has glass sides that allow you to look out onto the sea, a hammam, whirlpool baths and treatment rooms offering a range of massage and other therapies using Elemis products.

    There is also a well equipped fitness center/gym at your disposal and you can enjoy sports such as tennis, beach volley ball, football, water sports and more.

    LOCATION:

    Stella Island is tucked away on the north coast of Crete, Greece, near the well known Hersonissos Beach and just 15 miles from the Island’s charming capital Heraklion.

    REVIEWS:

    “Our stay at Stella Island was just amazing and extraordinary beautiful and great. We arrived late in the evening and the resort captured us from the moment we saw the entrance area and the lobby. The main topic of the resort is “water” and you feel like you are in paradise from the moment you make a step into the resort. But not only the resort itself and it’s just not comparable in beauty look, makes it so special, but its kind and super schooled staff. From the driver to the waiters and waitresses and the room-keeping everybody is so super friendly, nice and helpful , which you can’t imagine. The style of the hotel makes you feel at home at once. It’s totally stylish and built with luxurious materials. Just go and find out yourself! Oh and on top the food is so good – especially the pastries. Definitely coming back again….”

    “Amazing experience. It was an amazing holiday, the hotel is so luxurious, clean, beautiful, the food is so delicious and the stuff are so professional and friendly I spent one week this month and I will be back by the end of the month because I’m in love with this place….”

    Anantara The Palm Resort, Dubai

    1905.17 miles
    Address: Anantara The Palm Jumeirah
    Dubai
    United Arab Emirates
    Category: 5 Star Overwater Bungalows, Family Friendly Resorts, Overwater Bungalows for Honeymoons, Overwater Resorts with Spa, Overwater Bungalows with Glass Floor, and Resorts with Concierge
    Anantara The Palm Resort Dubai is a fabulous, 5 Star luxury resort spread over 400 meters of private shoreline on Dubai’s world famous Palm Jumeirah. It has fabulous facilities including a very opulent spa and its accommodation is seen as among the very best in the city. Even better for the Anantara is that it is the other hotel/resort in Dubai with overwater bungalows. THE ACCOMMODATION: They have a great selection of luxury accommodation – the above mentioned overwater bungalows, or Over Water Villas as they describe them, being the star attraction (book early if at all possible). Being such a top class resort even their most ‘basic’ accommodation – the ‘Standard Room’ is neither basic nor standard, they cover 38 square meters/409 square feet and have balconies with views over the lagoon. That being said though a relatively small step up in price can offer you more space and just that little bit of extra wow factor with the Premier and Deluxe Rooms. An extra jump in price allows you to choose between apartments and very classy beach villas. Their 18 overwater bungalows though are the main attraction at Anantara The Palm and are beautifully designed, like the whole resort with a S.E Asian influence. They stand out on the lagoon like mini Thai temples and are as striking inside as out with high vaulted ceilings and sleek furniture and fittings. They also all have that classic overwater bungalow feature – glass floors panels – to watch the underwater life, spacious outside terraces and very opulent bathrooms with huge bathtubs with a view. Nice and all as they are though, they do lack easy access to the water, something which ideally should be a standard feature of all overwater bungalows. PRICES: Check out all the details – prices, reviews & more photos, on the booking page here. FACILITIES & THINGS TO DO: Anantara The Palm Resort is a tremendous resort and the quality of the accommodation is equalled by the quality of its facilities. It has a very extensive, award winning spa and wellness center, the Anantara Balance. Here you can enjoy a huge amount of health and beauty READ MORE

    Constance Prince Maurice

    Address: Constance Prince Maurice
    Poste De Flacq
    Mauritius
    Category: 5 Star Overwater Bungalows, All Inclusive Overwater Bungalows, Family Friendly Resorts, Overwater Bungalows for Honeymoons, Overwater Resorts with Spa, and Resorts with Concierge
    A strong candidate for the best luxury resort in Mauritius, the 5 Star Constance Le Prince Maurice, just an hour from Port Louis and its international airport, is a divine slice of paradise and one which boasts the country’s only overwater bungalows. There are just eleven in total though – eight junior suites and three particularly spacious and luxurious water villas – so be prepared to book well in advance. Though the height of luxury and beautifully styled they have just one drawback, that is that they sit over a lagoon fish sanctuary which, though it features much interesting sea life, means you are not allowed to swim just outside your door. Once that disappointment is overcome though these overwater bungalows leave very little else to complain about and the Constance Prince Maurice in general is a truly fantastic resort. It has excellent spa facilities and a whole host of activities can be enjoyed including water-sports and golf at not one but two different 18 hole championship golf courses. Though the resort mainly caters for romantic getaways, honeymoons etc. children can and do come here too, and the Prince Maurice Kids Club does a fine job looking after them. THE ACCOMMODATION: Constance Le Prince Maurice has 89 suites and villas spread over 150 acres of stunning beach, lagoon and lush tropical gardens. The overwater bungalows, as mentioned above, sit on the lagoon and are of two types – suites and villas. Both are beautifully designed and furnished in the traditional Pacific style and feel incredibly romantic. They only major difference between the suites and villas is their respective sizes. The suites come in at a respectable 753 square feet (70 m²) and have one double bedroom with a seating area, a lovely outdoor terrace plus some very swish bathrooms The villas though are over twice the size at 1,400 square feet (130 m² ). Along with a larger bedroom they also come with a separate lounge/living room plus dining space, and have a whirlpool bath/jacuzzi in the bathroom and a soak tub outside on the terrace. Beyond the overwaters the beachside accommodation at Constance Prince Maurice is equally impressive. Their READ MORE

    Lily Beach Resort & Spa – All Inclusive

    Maldives
    Category: 5 Star Overwater Bungalows, All Inclusive Overwater Bungalows, Family Friendly Resorts, Overwater Bungalows for Honeymoons, Overwater Resorts with Spa, Overwater Bungalows with Glass Floor, and Resorts with Concierge
    Lily Beach Resort is a 5 Star all inclusive with an absolutely stunning setting on a private island in southern Ari Atoll, Maldives. Their all inclusive plan offers a generous array of quality services, with a range of free water sports activities and excursions and lots and lots of premium quality food and drink. It is a well known resort and consistently popular; people return here year after year, so advance bookings are recommended. THE ACCOMMODATION: They have a choice of overwater villas, beach villas and lagoon villas at Pearl Beach. The typically romantic overwater villas are divided between ‘Deluxe Water Villas’ which have 1356 ft² of space including a private outdoor deck with a jacuzzi plunge pool, and the ‘Sunset Water Villas’ which are a step ahead with 1960 ft² to play with, a proportionally larger deck and larger pool, as well as a 24 hour personal butler service. All the overwater choices have a section of glass floor panels so you can gaze at the sea life below from the comfort of your bungalow. The Lagoon Villas are at the edge of the lagoon and cover just short of 1000 ft², are secluded and private and come with an outdoor bath on the terrace, while the Beach Villas have a nice location right on the beach with a private deck and about 730 ft² of space for the ‘standard’ villas and 1463 ft² for the two bedroom ‘family’ villas, which are effectively two interconnected standard villas. The style is modernist and fairly minimalist, with the emphasis being more on comfort than interior decor, and all the accommodation choices include luxury hotel standard facilities and features as standard; air-conditioning, WiFi, flat-screen TV & home theatre system, tea/coffee making facilities, minibar and safe etc. The bathrooms are all suitably plush too with rainfall showers and spa bathtubs. PRICES: Check out all the details – prices, reviews & more photos, on the booking page here. FACILITIES & THINGS TO DO: There are four restaurants and three bars at the resort and the quality of the food and drink is excellent.
