Royal Heights Resort

The Royal Heights Resort is set in a beautiful location, with sea views that’ll be one of your abiding memories of your stay there. It’s the height of luxury and service at this genuine 5-star property in one of Crete’s most popular resorts that’ll impress you from the off.

Malia is famed for its lively nightlife. That’s something you can enjoy at the Royal Heights, but it’s definitely a choice in this mountain setting that’s just a couple of minutes’ drive from the town centre but which is beautifully peaceful itself.

The Royal Heights Resort is comprised of a collection of 30 suites and villas, all of them with tons of extras that are sure to tick all of your special-treat boxes. While the kids can stay active and entertained in the playground and swimming pool, the gym, hammam, sauna, massage and spa together make up a fantastic health and well-being service for the adults. You’ll also feed your spirit – and your tan! – in pretty gardens, by the shimmering pool, or on sun terraces with beautiful views of the sea and the surrounding mountains.

Five-star means that every need should be met, and from 24-hour reception to an on-site currency exchange; a beauty salon to babysitting services, the Royal Heights Resort has earned its rating. It’s also a popular wedding venue, with all the extra services you need for the best day of your life.

Malia is a real pick and mix destination, so visitors are free to make their holiday whatever they want it to be. A big sandy beach, water sports and a great choice of vibrant bars and clubs brings in the crowds who love to party by night. But Malia is also home to some of Crete’s best archaeological sites, and a short drive inland will put you at exclusive golf clubs or isolated traditional villages.
