Phāea Blue is an exclusive sanctuary in Crete and part of the Phāea Collection – a visionary brand of Greek hospitality that combines expressive design, responsible action, and authentic experiences. Under the leadership of Agapi and Costantza Sbokou, Phāea represents a new, more conscious form of travel that harmonizes people, culture, and nature.
Nestled between Plaka and Elounda, with views of the island of Spinalonga, Phāea Blue, a member of the exclusive „Small Luxury Hotels of the World,“ combines timeless elegance with a deep-rooted Cretan identity. As a private estate, the property creates an atmosphere of tranquility and intimacy where personal hospitality, curated aesthetics, and cultural depth merge into a holistic experience.
Architecture, art, and local craftsmanship shape the design, while farm-to-table cuisine, bespoke experiences, and initiatives like the Phāea Farmers Program and „Plan Bee“ underscore a commitment to responsible hospitality.
The Blue Villa plays a special role – an independent, extremely private residence within the estate, offering space, seclusion, and a very personal way to stay.
Phāea Blue positions itself as a place where authenticity, cultural resonance, and a calm, contemporary aesthetic forge a distinctive connection.
