Amirandes, A Grecotel Resort

Amirandes, a Grecotel Resort, is a stunning beachfront retreat on the north coast of Crete, where classical elegance meets modern luxury. Inspired by ancient Minoan palaces, the resort is designed around serene lagoons, marble walkways and lush gardens, creating a tranquil and refined atmosphere. Nestled between a protected nature reserve and two golden beaches, Amirandes offers an exceptional escape for couples, families and anyone looking to unwind in style.

Combining traditional Greek hospitality with contemporary comforts, the resort features a wide range of luxurious accommodations, gourmet dining, and a holistic wellness programme. From starlit dinners at the floating Minotaur restaurant to Cretan herbal treatments at the Elixir Alchemy Spa, every element is designed to immerse guests in the essence of the island. Whether you're sipping cocktails by the Olympic-sized pool or cycling the Cretan coastline on a GPS-guided e-bike, Amirandes invites you to reconnect with nature, culture and yourself.

"There’s an unexpectedly relaxed and friendly atmosphere at Sandy Lane - A-list celebrities and first-time guests receive the same warm Bajan welcome, and star treatment comes as standard from Sandy Lane’s wonderful staff. All Caribtours guests staying at Sandy Lane benefit from a complimentary VIP arrival service at Barbados airport."

"The elaborate beachside Sunday Brunch at Bajan Blue is an absolute must, as are the spectacular buffet evenings."

"Sandy Lane is a great choice for families, especially during the summer holidays when the resort offers an action-packed Summer Sports Camp for 7-16 yr olds."

"The Villa at Sandy Lane was relaunched in November 2024 and we are excited about the new look. After undergoing an extensive refurbishment, all five ensuite bedrooms and the spacious living, dining and entertaining areas have been refreshed with stunning soft furnishings. In addition, the pool and pool deck were completely redone; there’s a new pagoda style building for the ultimate in outside relaxation and lovely, newly transformed, landscaping surrounds The Villa."
