Family activities at Grecotel LUXME White

The Grecoland kids’ clubs and activity programme for children from four years old to teens immerses younger visitors in authentic experiences, including local cookery lessons, Greek culture sessions, and Greek dancing, as well as games and competitions. There’s also the one-off experience of optional visits to Agreco, Grecotel’s traditional farm and mini zoo a short drive from the property, where kids can play at being a farmer for the day with the likes of dough-making and vegetable-picking for a healthy Cretan lunch – and where all ages can tour the vintage olive oil stone press, see silk production and beehives, and taste age-old Cretan recipes.

Back at the resort, there’s a water sports school, snorkelling, board games, and entertainment, including, family discos, and shows, in addition to cinema screenings and daily DJ sets.

Something for the adults

While kids are enjoying the activities, adults can make the most of the sleek 'Hippie' spa, head for the adults-only area of the waiter service pools and beach, The White restaurant (Adults only 12+), or sign up for Pilates, stretching, and yoga classes. Other facilities and activities include a heated seawater pool, off-site diving (including tuition), tennis, E-Bike & E-Scooter service, and horse riding.

The property is perfectly positioned for exploring Rethymno’s Old Town with its ruined Venetian citadel and picture-postcard harbour lined by tempting bars, kafenions (coffee shops) and tavernas.

Which accommodation to choose

The airy, light-flooded accommodation – decorated in the resort’s signature breezy white – includes suites and rooms with private pools or shared pools. Ranging from garden view doubles to new swim-up rooms and water’s-edge Yali suites and ‘villas’ (no kitchens) with private pools, they include family apartments and suites sleeping up to six. All come with a daily restocked mini-bar, while the villas come with extra benefits, including Pre-arrival order service, villa manager & private concierge, in villa dining & private chef and in villa spa & beauty treatments.
