Overview

 
Tucked between the buzz of Malia and Hersonissos, Katrin Suites is a petite, adults-only hideaway made for slow mornings and easy nights out. Think calming, contemporary suites wrapped around a freshwater pool, a friendly pool bar for cocktails and snacks, and a mini-spa and gym on hand when you fancy a little me-time. With both the beach and Stalis’ seafront tavernas a short stroll away, it’s an easy base for couples who want Crete’s laid-back side with nightlife in reach.

A compact, adults-only bolthole in the heart of Stalis, Katrin Suites pairs soothing, minimalist décor with an intimate pool scene and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. With just 32 rooms spread across three low-rise blocks, service feels personal, while the central location means you can walk to the beach and resort centre in under 10 minutes. For couples seeking Crete (Heraklion Area)’s charm, Katrin Suites delivers the perfect balance. It’s 1 hour 30 minutes from the airport. See more Greece holidays.

Map & location


Stalis, Crete (Heraklion Area), Greece

Katrin Suites sits in a handy yet peaceful side-street location in Stalis, a relaxed resort sandwiched between lively Malia and Hersonissos on Crete’s north coast. You’re close enough to stroll down to the sandy waterfront, lined with low-key tavernas, bars and cafés, but far enough back to feel tucked away once you’re back at the pool.

Stalis is known for its long, gently shelving beach and easy-going atmosphere. Spend lazy days on the sands, hop on the little “Happy Train” for a scenic pootle along the coast, or head into nearby Malia after dark if you fancy a livelier night out.

  • Beach 400m
  • Stalis resort centre 400m
  • Bars, shops & seafront tavernas within a short walk
  • Approx. transfer time from airport 1 hour 30 minutes (from Heraklion – HER)

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


At the heart of Katrin Suites you’ll find a neat outdoor freshwater pool, framed by a sun terrace with loungers and parasols. It’s a sociable but low-key space – more about lazy reading and cooling dips than loud activities, perfectly in keeping with the adults-only vibe. Inflatables are generally permitted, though this can vary with hotel policy and season.

When you’re ready for the sea, the sandy beach of Stalis is around 400m away. The shoreline here gently shelves into clear, calm water, making it ideal for relaxed swims and bobbing about by the shore. The seafront promenade runs alongside the sand and is dotted with tavernas and beach bars, so you’re never far from a frappe or a sundowner.

Spa, sports & wellness


Despite its compact size, Katrin Suites squeezes in a small but handy set of wellness facilities. There’s a mini-spa (open seasonally) with sauna and whirlpool, plus a menu of massages and beauty treatments for when you want a little extra indulgence. Charges apply for most spa facilities and treatments, and sessions are usually by reservation.

A modest gym with cardio fitness equipment (treadmills, bikes and similar) is available for guests aged 18+ during set hours in the season – ideal if you like to balance meze with a bit of movement. Away from wellness, the hotel offers a 24-hour reception with concierge-style assistance and luggage storage, so late flights are that bit easier to handle.

Facilities are typically open between late April and late October, with precise dates and times subject to change according to season and occupancy.

Food & drink

The main buffet restaurant sits by the pool and serves breakfast and dinner with a mix of Greek and international dishes, plus some show-cooking on selected services. Expect simple, well-prepared favourites with plenty of fresh salads and local touches.

The pool bar is your go-to for daytime drinks and light bites, and keeps the atmosphere sociable into the evening with cocktails, local wines and chilled tunes. A smart‑casual dress code may apply in the restaurant (no beachwear at dinner), and opening hours or inclusions can vary by season and board basis.

If you opt for All Inclusive, you’ll typically enjoy buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner in the main restaurant, snacks between meals for at least three hours a day, and a selection of local alcoholic and non‑alcoholic drinks served for a minimum of 12 hours daily.
