At Creta Maris Resort in Hersonissos, Crete, families are welcomed with open arms, warm Cretan hospitality, and an incredible offering of childcare and family facilities designed to give every generation the holiday they deserve.
As a proud member of the Luxury Childcare Association, Creta Maris exemplifies the gold standard in family-focused hospitality — where thoughtful design, high-quality childcare and warm, intuitive service come together to give every guest, big and small, a holiday to remember.
Sustainable Hospitality Rooted in Cretan Culture
At the core of Creta Maris’ philosophy is a deep sense of authenticity and sustainability.
Every family experience is thoughtfully designed to reflect the resort’s values of authentic Cretan hospitality, sustainability and high-end quality. Here, you’re not just a guest, you’re treated like family. From the layout of their family suites to the food, activities and immersive cultural experiences, everything is thoughtfully curated to create meaningful moments for both parents and children.
Their commitment to the environment also means children are encouraged to connect with nature, learn about sustainability and explore the outdoors through play.
“Every interaction is delivered with intuitive Cretan generosity and sincerity, creating a safe, welcoming and inspiring environment for all generations.”
Asterias Kids’ Club and Teens’ Club: Fun for Every Stage
Asterias Kids’ Club (Ages 4–12)
This beautifully designed kids’ club is the heart of Creta Maris’ childcare offering — a place where children can explore, create and learn through daily activities that are both fun and developmentally enriching.
Expect storytelling, crafting, painting, sports and games, all led by trained professionals in a safe, supportive space. There’s also an outdoor playground and regular themed days that celebrate Greek mythology, local culture and sustainability; from “live like a local” days to nature walks and gardening fun.
Teens’ Club (Ages 13–17)
Creta Maris hasn’t forgotten about your older kids! The Teens’ Club is a chill-out space designed for connection, independence and fun. Whether it’s sports tournaments, beach games, creative workshops, or just hanging out with new friends, teens are given the space to unwind on their own terms, but always within a safe and supervised environment.
The Importance of Reconnecting and Family Bonding
As a family-run resort, Creta Maris knows the value of time spent together. From shared activities to peaceful moments, everything is designed to encourage bonding, exploration and ease. You’ll find Greek cooking workshops, nature walks, beach games and cultural celebrations that invite families to discover the true spirit of Crete, together.
“Creta Maris has expanded and evolved over the years, while remaining true to its founders’ vision: to offer heartfelt hospitality, consistently delivering the highest quality and variety of services.”
Creta Maris understands that when children are happy, relaxed and engaged, parents can truly unwind. That’s why they offer:
- Five children’s pools
- A vibrant on-site waterpark
- Purpose-built play spaces for all ages
- A welcoming Baby Room for the youngest guests and their carers
And of course, all childcare services are delivered by professionally trained teams, ensuring the highest levels of safety and care.
“We stay distinctive by continuously evolving, listening to our guests, and ensuring that both children and parents feel equally valued, inspired and cared for.”
