Seaside A Lifestyle Resort in Crete invites travelers to rediscover tranquility, presence, and renewal. This 5-star, adults-only sanctuary nestled on the cliffs of Mononaftis Bay is the ideal destination for those seeking quiet travel and a meaningful digital detox—a growing trend among wellness-conscious travelers.
With our lives often consumed by constant connection and the hustle of modern living, Seaside offers a compelling reset. Guests are immersed in a cocoon of serenity surrounded by natural beauty, earthy architecture, and unobstructed views of the Aegean Sea. As part of the rising “wellness retreat aesthetic”—which is seeing a 90% year-over-year rise in popularity—Seaside is more than a resort; it’s a healing experience.
A Sanctuary of Stillness
At Seaside, the pace slows to nature’s rhythm. Mornings begin with grounding yoga sessions at the Asana Yoga Shala, where silence and movement bring guests back to themselves. The sounds of rustling leaves and distant waves replace notifications and alarms. Throughout the day, visitors are encouraged to lounge poolside, take meditative walks along the beach, or simply breathe deeply with a drink in hand under Crete’s autumn sun.
For those seeking deeper self-exploration, the resort hosts therapeutic sound healing sessions with Rob Sykes—an immersive blend of ancient sonic practices and modern musicality offered on select dates in September and October.
Wellness in Every Corner
Every room and villa at Seaside is a haven of peace. Natural textures like stone, wood, and linen echo the landscape outside, while plush furnishings offer true rest. Villas feature private terraces and lush garden surroundings, ideal for those craving extra solitude and space.
The Cave Spa provides a curated menu of nourishing treatments that complement the overall ethos of inner balance and outer calm.
Culinary Mindfulness
Food at Seaside is more than nourishment—it’s a ritual of connection and gratitude. Guests dine with ocean views, seasonal ingredients, and aromatic breezes. With five restaurants, including Veranda, UMI (Japanese-Peruvian fusion), and Minoan Cretan Taverna, each meal is an invitation to slow down and savor.
Explore Crete, Mindfully
Autumn’s mild temperatures and thinner crowds offer a golden opportunity to explore Crete’s culture and coastline with clarity and wonder. Visit historic towns, stroll scenic trails, and embrace the gentle hum of Cretan village life.
Whether you seek solitude, spiritual restoration, or the freedom to disconnect, Seaside A Lifestyle Resort delivers an experience grounded in reflection, beauty, and wellbeing.
