The Beach @ Aristea
Just steps from the shoreline, Aristea Hotel sits along one of Rethymnon’s most inviting beaches—where golden sand, calm shallow water, and family-friendly spaces create the perfect setting for relaxed seaside days.
Rethymnon’s beach forms a long, sandy bay stretching for around two kilometres from the city centre, offering plenty of space to enjoy the sea and sunshine. Located about one kilometre from the centre and set back from the main road, Aristea Hotel enjoys a quieter spot along this coastline while remaining within easy reach of town. Directly in front of the hotel—separated only by a small square and a children’s play park—the gently sloping beach leads into shallow, calm water that is particularly safe for children. The hotel also maintains its own section of beach equipped with straw umbrellas and sun loungers, creating a comfortable base for guests, while the nearby square becomes a lively hub where the hotel occasionally organises fitness activities for those who want to stay active by the sea.
