Minoa Palace Resort Spa

The Minoa Palace Resort Spa is the wellness centre of the Minoa Palace beach resort on Korai Street in Platanias, the busiest seaside resort town west of Chania on the island of Crete, Greece. The setting is a large resort spa within a sizeable beachfront property, in an area known for its long sandy shoreline, tavernas and nightlife. The spa's menu covers massage, body treatments and face treatments, with sessions generally lasting 45 to 120 minutes. Indicative prices run from EUR 60 to 160. As a large resort, the property is likely to offer a broader range of treatment rooms than the boutique spas of Chania town, but the exact facility list, including any pools, saunas or thermal areas, is not verified here and should be confirmed with the hotel before arrival. Crete has a long tradition of olive oil, honey and herb-based body care, and resort spas on the island often reference these; the specific signature rituals and product lines used at this spa should be confirmed when booking. Therapists' training and the spa's reputation are managed by the resort, so visitors with particular needs can ask the spa desk. Reservations are advisable in the main season from May to October, when Platanias is at its busiest, and walk-in availability depends on the day. Hours are set by the hotel and vary by month, with daily opening in season. Platanias is roughly a 20-minute drive from the Old Town of Chania, and the spa suits visitors who base themselves on the western coast and want a restorative break between beach days. Non-guests should ask whether outside bookings are accepted and whether facilities are included with a treatment. Nearby sights include the islet of Agioi Theodoroi off the Platanias coast and the village of Gerani to the west.
