In 2025, Rosewood Hotels & Resorts officially makes its debut in Crete with the opening of Rosewood Blue Palace. The property will be a reincarnation of Crete’s distinguished Blue Palace with 154 rooms and suites, an Asaya spa and several specialty restaurants. The new hotel will also include a beach club, fitness center and other on-property offerings.

Located between the fishing village of Plaka and the port of Elounda, Rosewood Blue Palace’s guestrooms and suites feature interiors designed by K-Studio, embracing Cretan tradition and identity. Eighty-five of these accommodations come with private pools for elevated seclusion.
