JW Marriott Crete Resort & Spa

Nestled near Chania, the seafront JW Marriott Crete Resort & Spa sprawls across 100 coastal acres, offering 160 rooms, suites, and villas with impeccable design and stunning sea views. Imagine finding yourself in a land that makes you feel connected to millennia of history and living tradition; not merely through ancient ruins and temples, but through its own material essence. Through its sun-drenched beaches and rocky mountains; its sea waves and running fresh water; its bee-buzzing blossoms and trees; its salt, herbs and olive oil; its very own soil, even. You simply feel connected to the land’s whole. Experience serene spaces, blending hotel comforts with natural beauty or indulge in rejuvenating spa treatments and holistic wellness activities at the spa. Savor authentic Cretan or international flavors sourced from JW Garden and local producers. The Family by JW offers a comprehensive Kids Club experience designed to engage children in creative activities while fostering a deeper connection with nature.

Well-being is more than one thing. It’s the moments you need it to be. The moments you never expect. And the ones you never want to leave.

JW MARRIOTT. STAY IN THE MOMENT®.

Our senses—specifically scent, sound, and taste—have the unique ability to transport us to different places (if only for a moment!), lock in lasting memories, and instantly improve mood. JW Marriott’s new global brand partnership with Flamingo Estate, a California-based lifestyle company known for its herbaceous bath and body products and freshly picked pantry provisions, is designed to take guests on a journey that “traverses multiple sensorial touchpoints” and “elevates the path to well-being,” says Bruce Rohr, Vice President and Global Brand Leader, JW Marriott.

To welcome guests around the world and create an even more memorable stay, Flamingo Estate developed an exclusive garden-infused scent, a nature-inspired sound program, and a handcrafted honey for JW Marriott. “Engaging all of the senses is crucial for enhancing the guest experience at our properties, as it creates a holistic and memorable environment that immerses guests fully, fostering deeper connections and lasting impressions,” says Rohr. Richard Christiansen, founder of Flamingo Estate, echoes these sentiments: “Both brands believe in real hospitality and it’s at the heart of what we do—the rare art of making someone feel loved and cared for.”
