Map & location
Hersonissos, Crete (Heraklion Area), Greece
Momi Slow Living Hotel sits on Crete’s north coast in Hersonissos, a resort that neatly mixes beach life, nightlife and easy access to ancient sites. The hotel itself is tucked in a quieter pocket away from the main strip, so you can enjoy calmer evenings on your balcony or by the pool, then stroll or taxi into town when you want more buzz.
You’re about 1km from the nearest beach, with a handy shuttle bus for easy access, and roughly 1.5km from the resort centre and Hersonissos Harbour. From here, it’s simple to explore Knossos, traditional villages or Spinalonga on day trips.
- • Beach 1km (shuttle bus to the beach)

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
The focus of the outdoor space is a serene freshwater pool framed by sunbeds, parasols and low-slung seating. The design keeps things low-key and uncluttered, with plenty of room to stretch out and a mellow soundtrack from the pool bar rather than loud activities. Complimentary pool towels are provided.
You’re around 1km from the beach; when you don’t fancy walking, the hotel runs a shuttle service to the shore at set times (subject to schedule and season). Beaches in this part of Hersonissos are typically a mix of sand and shingle with clear, swimmable water and a choice of local tavernas.
Spa, sports & wellness
Keep body and mind in balance at the compact but well-equipped gym, featuring cardio machines, free weights and a stretching zone, generally open from early morning through to late evening (minimum age 18 years).
The spa offers sauna sessions and a menu of massage and beauty treatments in a calm, minimalist space (18+, local charges apply). It’s ideal for a post-flight unwind or a couples’ ritual after a day exploring Crete.
In the evenings, the open-air cinema adds a quietly sociable touch to the slow-living concept, with films screened under the stars on selected nights.
Other useful facilities include a reception with concierge support, currency exchange (local charge) and luggage storage.
