Pilot Beach Resort
A landmark of refined contemporary opulence, Pilot Beach Resort commands its own stretch of the stunning sandy beach in Georgioupolis, perfectly poised between the majestic Aegean Sea and the imposing White Mountains. Entering the resort, guests are greeted by spacious, light-filled public areas that blend unique Cretan architecture with modern style; the lobby's high ceilings crowned by locally crafted fixtures, and warm tones of natural wood and stone instantly create an inviting atmosphere. Here, art and design harmonize-a curated installation of Cretan sculptures draws the eye, adding a touch of the island's artistic soul. Explore deeper, where luxurious suites open up to sweeping views of the panorama; indulge in culinary delights across an array of restaurants, or unwind at the expansive spa, where the essence of Cretan relaxation awaits.
