InterContinental Crete Minoan Rooftop Lounge & Pool Bar

Two experiences. One extraordinary rooftop.

Poolside indulgence and curated evenings above the waters of Mirabello Bay.

Perched on the 9th floor with sweeping panoramic views over Mirabello Bay, Minoan is two distinctly different experiences sharing one extraordinary setting. By day, it is a poolside retreat; as evening draws in, it becomes one of the finest rooftop lounges in Agios Nikolaos. Together, they make Minoan a destination in its own right, at one of the most celebrated Crete hotels with a rooftop pool.

The pool bar sets the tone for the day. Take to the infinity pool, where the water meets the horizon, and Mirabello Bay stretches out below, then settle in for a Mediterranean and Greek-inspired menu of light snacks and bites, crafted from the finest locally sourced ingredients. Cocktails and spirits are made with equal care, alongside a thoughtful selection of alcohol-free beverages, ensuring every guest finds something worth savouring. Minoan is an adult-friendly space, welcoming guests who appreciate a refined and relaxed atmosphere.

As the sun begins its descent over the bay, Minoan shifts. The rooftop lounge takes over with handcrafted cocktails and views that make it impossible to leave. Throughout the season, the space comes alive with curated evening entertainment, including live DJ sets, bringing music and atmosphere to one of Mirabello Bay's most spectacular settings.

As an open-air venue, Minoan operates from mid-May onwards, with days and hours subject to weather and seasonal conditions. Adults and older guests are warmly welcomed; to preserve the space's atmosphere, a minimum age of 14 is required.
