Pilot Beach Resort in Detail
Your Wellness Hotel
Located directly on the stunning Almyros Bay and the long sandy beach of Georgioupolis, the Pilot Beach Resort is perfect for those seeking relaxation with panoramic views of the Aegean Sea and the White Mountains.
This expansive resort resembles a charming Cretan village, reimagined in a modern style and nestled in a green oasis of olive and avocado trees. Two sections, connected by an underpass, ensure peace and space for all needs.
Open from April to October.
Location & Surroundings
Just about 0.8 miles from the charming fishing village of Georgioupolis, you'll find a vibrant mix of taverns, cafes, bars, and small boutiques. It's perfect for leisurely strolls and culinary explorations.
If you're craving more of an island vibe, the bus stop right outside the hotel offers convenient access to regional highlights such as the romantic town of Rethymno (about 11 miles away) or the bustling port city of Chania (about 25 miles away).
Dining & Leisure
Whether Mediterranean, Asian, or Greek - four diverse restaurants provide true taste experiences. Whether buffet or à la carte, with sea view or in a relaxed family atmosphere - enjoyment is guaranteed here.
The day begins at the main restaurant "Kronos", which is conveniently accessible by elevator directly from the lobby. International and Mediterranean buffets are served for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Vegetarian, vegan, and diet dishes are also available on request at any time.
Those who adore Greek cuisine will find their delight in the charming "Ariadni": authentic dishes, lovingly prepared and complemented by a wide selection of vegetarian and vegan options. For early risers, an Early Breakfast is available from 5:00 a.m. - ideal for early check-outs.
In the evening, dining becomes especially enjoyable: Three à la carte main courses - meat, fish, or vegetarian - meet a versatile buffet with starters and desserts. For the little guests, a complimentary "Kids Corner" with pizza, pasta, fries, and chicken nuggets awaits at lunchtime.
Located directly by the sea, "Gialos" is perfect for relaxed dining with a view. Greek grill specialties à la carte are served here at lunch, while themed evenings with live music create a special atmosphere in the evenings: Lobster Night every Saturday (€45 per person) and Cretan Night with regional specialties every Wednesday (€18 per person).
A real highlight is the seasonal à la carte restaurant "Almyra" (June to September, except Wednesdays): fresh fish and sushi, served with a spectacular sea view - romantic, exclusive, and available for an additional charge (approx. €15 per person).
The beach restaurants are only accessible in the evening with prior reservation. Vegetarian options are also available at lunch, both on the menu and at the buffet.
Wellness & Spa
Four outdoor pools (open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.) and a stylish indoor pool provide refreshing fun at any time of day.
At the exclusive Olive Spa, it's all about holistic well-being, with premium treatments for body and mind, some using organic olive oil produced on-site.
A total of 11 treatment rooms with colour light therapy are available for soothing massages, facial treatments, body shaping (e.g., with the "Ultratone" ultrasound device), vacuum and hydro massages, and much more.
The "Thermal Suite" offers everything a wellness enthusiast could desire: steam bath, sauna, bio sauna, sensorial showers, plunge pool, and a stylish relaxation room for unwinding. For special moments as a couple, there's the exclusive "Private Spa Suite" with bio sauna, terrace, and outdoor Jacuzzi - perfect for couple's treatments with an extra touch of comfort.
Pilot Farm
At Pilot Beach Resort, holiday meets authenticity: The complex is harmoniously integrated into nature, including its own organic cultivation with over 3,000 olive trees, avocados, seasonal vegetables, and a colourful selection of fruits.
30% of the food at the resort comes directly from its own fields - it doesn't get fresher, more sustainable, or more regional than this! You can taste it, especially in the lovingly prepared dishes of the hotel kitchen.
The resort's special pride: the high-quality organic olive oil produced in-house. A staple in the kitchen - and for guests, a very special souvenir: a small bottle of Cretan lifestyle as a reminder of a delightful stay.
