Through the creation of an elevated oasis on the Greek Islands, Rosewood has continued its thoughtful growth across Europe.
Known in Greek mythology as the birthplace of both Europe and the thunder god Zeus, Crete’s captivating legacy has lived on through the centuries. Today, the island’s crystal-clear waters, stunning white pebble beaches and breathtaking mountainscapes continue to enchant visitors with their timeless beauty and allure.
Marking Rosewood Hotels & Resorts® entrance into Greece, the brand is thoughtfully expanding with the introduction of Rosewood Blue Palace. A reincarnation of a beloved resort, Crete’s distinguished Blue Palace will reopen as part of the Rosewood portfolio in 2025 following a reimagination of the celebrated property.
Owned by Phāea (Golf Residences S.A.), the new resort will be meticulously designed to reflect Rosewood’s guiding ‘A Sense of Place®’ philosophy, with the entire resort experience inspired by the elegance of the Greek Islands.
