Overview
The Noverian Antàma Beach Organic Resort Chania is a five-star beachfront property that presents a modern interpretation of Cretan hospitality where local tradition and contemporary comfort meet. The resort promotes a New Era of Cretan Bonds and Cretan Antàmosis, themes that inform its architecture, programming and service style, with an emphasis on cultural connection and sustainable practices. Guests can expect a coastal setting designed to reflect local materials and flavours, with services and experiences curated to highlight Crete’s heritage alongside modern amenities. The tone throughout is factual and service-focused: the resort positions itself as an eco-luxury destination offering both relaxation and opportunities to engage with the island’s food, craft and natural landscape.
Location
Located directly on Chania’s coastline, The Noverian Antàma provides immediate access to a private stretch of beach and clear Aegean waters, making it well placed for guests who want to be close to the sea. The resort is conveniently sited for excursions to notable local beaches such as Agia Marina, Stalos and Platanias, and is a practical base for boat trips to more remote spots like Balos and Elafonissi. Proximity to nearby towns and transport links means the hotel can act as a gateway for day trips around the Chania region while remaining firmly rooted on the shore for those who prefer to remain by the water.
Facilities
Facilities at the resort combine beachfront features with practical guest services. The property offers a beachside pool and a private beach area, a pool bar and the resort’s main bar, complimentary pool towels and high-speed Wi-Fi throughout hotel areas. Practical services include 24-hour reception, express check-in and check-out, laundry and dry-cleaning (additional charge), a destination concierge, airport shuttle service and transfer options, and medical opinion/consultation on request. Car, bicycle and motorcycle rentals are available, and spa treatments are offered through an external partner on request and with an extra charge; eco-conscious housekeeping practices reflect the resort’s sustainability commitments.
Room
Guest accommodation ranges from standard doubles to suites and is designed with comfort and Cretan character in mind. Room types include Cozy Double and Superior Double options with land or garden perspectives, Premium sea-view doubles and an Executive double that provides a partial sea view and additional sleeping provision. For guests seeking enhanced space and outdoor facilities, the Deluxe Suite offers garden views and an outdoor hot tub. All rooms provide modern conveniences and complimentary Wi-Fi, and room service is available for those who prefer to dine in their accommodation.
Sports & Entertainment
The resort presents a mix of beach-based leisure and curated cultural activity rather than an intensive sports programme. The private beach and a beachside pool are the principal leisure assets for swimming, sunbathing and casual water activity, while nearby Platanias provides opportunities for more active water sports along the coast. The hotel schedules Modern Cretan Gathering Nights where live music and traditional dishes are presented, and the destination concierge organises local excursions and cultural experiences such as visits to olive oil producers, family-run wineries and artisan workshops to connect guests with Chania’s traditions.
Dining & Bars
Dining at The Noverian Antàma centres on a main restaurant offering à la carte Mediterranean and Cretan-inspired dishes prepared with locally sourced ingredients, and the property highlights regional produce in its menus. The Antàma main bar and pool bar present a selection of cocktails and beverages that draw on local flavours and seasonal produce, served across indoor and outdoor spaces. The hotel’s culinary programme includes themed Cretan evenings featuring traditional dishes and live music, and the dining team works with local producers for wine and olive oil experiences that form part of the resort’s broader cultural offering.
