General
Daios Cove is minimalist, modern, chic and sumptuous with a carefully created designer style; and its elegant and sophisticated architecture has been crafted from the natural environment. Sculpted out of the hillside rock, every stone has been traditionally handcarved and reclaimed. As a result, Daios Cove blends beautifully into its picturesque rural surroundings.
Daios cleverly combines five-star luxury and a select ambience with impeccable, friendly, always accessible service. Guests have a choice of luxury villas, rooms and suites (many with their own private sea water pools), seven restaurants and bars, Firefly in room dining, fitness centre, wellness sanctuary and kids club. Whether relaxing on the exclusive beach, swimming in the pools, sampling fine cuisine, enjoying first class service or simply soaking up the unique atmosphere, Daios Cove makes for the perfect luxury hideaway — and the ultimate holiday.

Kids & Teens
LET’S PLAY
Ask any parent. Enjoying a holiday is so much easier if the kids are having supervised fun in a safe, structured environment. That’s why childcare is such an important part of the Daios family holiday experience: mum and dad can escape for a little bit of ‘us’ time, secure in the knowledge that their children are being looked after by a dedicated team of childcare specialists.
Babies and toddlers are supervised in the Crèche Club by UK childcare experts Worldwide Kids Co, with qualified nursery staff meeting UK standards and regulations. Meanwhile, older kids can check in for fun at the well-equipped Children’s Club where friendly, highly trained multilingual staff will make them feel at home and provide games and activities. For our often ‘hard-to please’ teenagers, the Games Room is fully equipped with classic team games, pool billiards, table tennis as well as the latest in video gaming. Plus, our Pangea restaurant opens an hour before official dining time so that children can enjoy our Kids’ Early Supper under the supervision of Worldwide Kids Co staff.
The Cove is geared up for families, with a child-friendly beach and babysitting services — so safe and secure fun is child’s play
Sports & Activities
At Daios Cove there’s an endless supply of top-class sporting activities to amuse guests of every age, from water-skiing, pedalos, canoeing and scuba diving to tennis, fitness training, yoga and pilates. There’s also a full range of entertainment available, including tailor-made excursions to the most famous places on the island, and in-resort cookery workshops, cocktailmaking lessons and wine-tasting sessions. Plus, when the hot sun goes down, there’s a cool programme of DJ nights, dancing and live events, with guest artists playing latin, funk, soul, jazz and traditional Mediterranean and Cretan music under the stars. By land or by sea, Daios Cove offers the opportunity to blend familiar favourite activities with fascinating and exciting new experiences.
- Water sports centre. With expert tuition and supervision from our trained water sports staff, guests can take a trip around the bay in canoes, kayaks and pedalos or have fun on water bikes and stand-up paddle boards. Private yachts, motorboats and catamarans are available for rent and sail, too.
- Scuba diving. Both novices and veteran divers can experience an unforgettable undersea adventure at Daios Cove. Our diving centre features approved coaching from trained PADI diving professionals for all levels, from beginners through to expert. Underwater excursions, including a visit to a shipwreck, are also available.
- Tennis court. Whatever their level — be they serious tennis pros or just-for-fun players — tennis fans will love our tennis court with artificial grass surfaces, which are floodlit so games don’t have to be played in the heat of the afternoon sun. There’s racket rental too, so nothing will put you off your stroke.
- Fitness, Yoga & Pilates. Guests can work up a sweat in our cutting-edge BXR Gym personal trainers on hand to make sure they get the most from their exercise sessions. It’s not all about working out, though: there’s wind down time, too, courtesy of a yoga or pilates class in the Mind and Body Studio overlooking the bay.
- Magic Mondays. Magic Mondays introduce the relaxed, inviting ambience of The Beach House and the serenity of the Cove to our guests. The events draw inspiration from the purification rituals held by the Minoans during the Bronze Age on Crete. Live instrumental tunes bring the natural Cretan landscape to life and accompany your culinary journey at The Beach House. Magic Mondays - an experience not to be missed.
- Candlelit dinner. We also serve private candlelit dinners for guests who want to arrange a special meal in their rooms — or under the stars.
