Fodele Beach Resort Welcomes Families for a Memorable Summer Packed with Ample Aquatic Fun
Crete is calling! Answer the call and embark on an unforgettable adventure at Fodele Beach & Water Park Resort.
Nestled on Heraklion’s cliffside, this resort’s prime location makes it an ideal base for families travelling with toddlers and young children, offering access to a private beach just steps away and some of Crete’s best tourism offerings at arm’s length. With refurbished sea front accommodations with up-close vistas of Fodele Bay, five restaurants and three bars, an exhilarating waterpark, a rejuvenating spa, and private beach access with breathtaking Cretan Sea views, the resort excels in providing an exceptional blend of comfort and convenience.
Fusion of Flavours
Immerse yourself in a world of culinary delights at Fodele Beach’s array of dining venues. Explore the vibrant flavors at Basilikos, with outdoor terraces opening up to unobstructed Seaview, where themed international nights offer a diverse selection of global cuisines. Elia and Ambrosia cater to those feeling extra selective, with curated menu filled with Greek delicacies and Italian classics.
For parents seeking a moment of relaxation while the kids enjoy the beach, Frankie Beach Club offers a laid-back atmosphere with cocktails and snacks at your fingertips.
Active Lifestyle in Motion
In addition to offering an extensive array of outdoor activities, including land and water sports, the resort is home to one of the largest waterparks in the region, featuring seven exhilarating family-friendly waterslides, including body, rafting and freefalling slides, all adhering to carefully devised safety standards. It also comes with a dedicated playful pool for babies that are too young to use the slides alone. Venturing out to the beach area, travellers will find a full collection of watersports for them to experiment with, including jet skis and water ski, SUP and paddleboards, canoes and banana rides. Steps away from the resort’s private beach is also one of the finest spots for scuba diving on the island, a perfect place to explore the deep blue underneath.
To dry off after a morning of aquatic adventure, gather with friends to play a match of tennis, basketball, beach volleyball, or beach soccer in one of the resort’s excellent ball courts. Engage with friends and family further in games like darts or boccia. The resort also offers aerobics, zumba and dance classes for those seeking to move to the beats, energizing your spirits and help you burn off some extra calories the fun way.
