6 Best Chania Hotels with Pools (2026)

On Crete’s north-west coast, Chania sits between a historic Venetian harbour, long sandy beaches and the rugged White Mountains. The hotels here are a varied bunch, from well-located beach resorts with generous pool areas to affordable hotels that focus on comfort. You’ll also find family-friendly stays, low-key spa hotels and simple seaside options close to the action. Whether you want somewhere relaxed by the water or a base for exploring the old town, Chania has no shortage of great places to stay with pools.

For a wellness escape

• Mossa Well Being Hotel is an adults-only base that's built around routine and recovery. Rooms are modern, with neutral colours and practical layouts. Days revolve around the heated outdoor pool, daily yoga and dance classes, plus a small spa with sauna, steam room and massage rooms. There’s also a gym and an on-site restaurant, making it a great choice for a focused wellness stay without distractions.

For a boutique

• Right in Chania’s Venetian Harbour, Monastery Estate Venetian Harbour is an intimate boutique base that makes the most of its setting. Interiors feature exposed stone, wooden beams and chic rooms that feel calm and practical. Expect an atmospheric small indoor pool, which is booked on a private basis, a modest spa, and a courtyard restaurant serving Greek and international food. A solid base for exploring the old town on foot.

For a romantic break

• Restored 17th century farmhouse, Metohi Kindelis, is quiet, private and ideal for couples. Apartments feature stone arches, tiled floors and simple furnishings, each with its own pool and garden.
