THE EXCEPTIONAL BEACH
What’s the essence of a family holiday everyone remembers for the right reasons? Somewhere packed with exciting activities for the energetic, and opportunities to relax for the grown ups.
Besides the exceptional beach and the warmly welcoming waters of the Gulf of Mirabello itself, there is a world of things for your kids to do at St Nicholas Bay.
A club, for example, with a full programme of action-packed adventures for children run by a qualified, boundlessly energetic staff. The resort also has a movie lounge, games room with table tennis, footie and play station. There are family restaurants, paddling and swimming pools.
Choose St Nicholas Bay for your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Crete and even the teenagers will be happy. There’s scuba diving, water sports like canoeing, skiing and windsurfing, fitness centres and a spa featuring pampering, steam room and sauna. Which is important. Because you can’t relax until you’re sure the family is happy.

From the first conversation to the final day of our trip, Catherine and the team were helpful, efficient and easy to reach. Their recommendations not only improved our original plans but also made the whole holiday more cost-effective. Even when we needed assistance while away, their response was immediate. We wouldn’t hesitate to travel with them again.
Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
