Domes Noruz Chania, Autograph Collection
A stylish, couple-centric retreat with a focus on local exploration
Set on the beachfront a stone’s throw from Chania, Domes Noruz Chania is the sister of the award-winning Domes of Elounda. Its domed design is inspired by the Venetian Arsenals from Chania’s old port, brought up to date with elegant, airy spaces and sleek, contemporary furnishings. There’s a focus on local exploration here, with a handful of curated experiences to choose from; venture to Chania’s Old Town to glimpse the region’s Venetian influences, visit the local vineyards, fly over the breathtaking Samaria Gorge or dig your toes into the sand and let the blues of the Aegean lull you into a daze; this is a blissful retreat for couples after a romantic escape.
Far removed from Agios Nikolaos and Elounda, Chania is Crete’s second largest city. Bursting with history and heritage, its Old Town’s strong Italian influence and Ottoman, Venetian and Greek architecture has long been popular with culture seekers, but there are some fabulous beaches and a high-end bar scene here, too.
Domes Noruz Chania is the sister to the award-winning Domes of Elounda resort and sits on the beachfront on the outskirts of the city. Its domed design is inspired by the Venetian Arsenals from Chania’s old port, but is brought up-to-date with lofty, airy spaces and sleek furnishings. There’s a cosmopolitan approach to food, with a focus on delicious organic Greek produce with an international twist. Topos is the all-day restaurant, where breakfast corners include a bakery and vitality bar, while Raw Bar by Moët & Chandon is a chic spot for superfood salads, premium wines and Champagne. At sunset, make your way to the beach or the bar area to take in the view.
The hotel encourages guests to get out and explore the local area, and its aim is to curate your experience, whether it’s arranging moonlight jazz on the beach or taking a helicopter ride over the breathtaking Samaria Gorge.
This adults-only lifestyle resort brings a touch of contemporary indulgence to cultural Chania.

Why our experts like it
What the people who book this hotel say about staying there.

If you love French cuisine, look no further than La Belle Vie

An incredible way to kick off your Maldives holiday
“There's something pretty special about travelling by seaplane. The view from the sky is extraordinary - tiny specs of island and shades of blue that barely look real.”


The iconic, mile-long sandbank
Perfect for isolated sunbathing, dramatic photoshoots, and watching breathtaking Maldivian sunsets.

Snorkelling and diving isn't the only way to catch sight of the underwater world
“If snorkelling and diving isn't for you, it's possible to catch a glimpse of the reef from a glass-bottomed boat instead.”


Kids club at Niva Kuramathi Maldives

Food & drink
There’s a cosmopolitan approach to food here, with a focus on delicious organic Greek produce with an international twist. Topos is an all-day restaurant, where breakfast corners include a bakery and vitality bar, while Raw Bar by Moët & Chandon is a chic spot for superfood salads, premium wines and Champagne. At sunset, make your way to the beach or the bar area to take in the view.
The hotel's restaurant Topos offers a creative and charismatic menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food uses local ingredients to whip up imaginative dishes – think vegan smoothie bowls lavished with fruit and seeds for breakfast, baked seabream with sun-dried tomatoes for lunch and Cretan carob-biscuit cheesecake for dessert. Raw Bar by Moët & Chandon offers a place where you can drink up Champagne and cocktails all through the day, and devour sushi bar as it turns to night, and the new Topos Beach Bar by Bombay Sapphire is the perfect spot for lazing on the sand with a drink in hand.
Haute Living Selection — Guests enjoy exclusive benefits with 'Haute Living Selection', which includes complimentary dine around on half board basis (7 nights' minimum stay), with breakfast at Topos and selected menus for lunch or dinner at your choice of the hotel's restaurants. Guests also get one Meal Out Session per stay, which includes a 3-course set menu for lunch or dinner at a restaurant in Chania's Old Town. Exclusive extras also include a complimentary mixology class, use of a dedicated Haute Living Selection mobile phone, ironing service (5 items per stay) and personalised monogrammed bathrobes to take home with you.
We love Topos for its innovative spin on classic Greek cuisine, plus a curated wine list featuring labels from across the island and beyond.
Topos — This innovative, neo-Greek seafood spot offers a creative and charismatic menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Raw Bar — Tuck into fresh sushi with a side of champagne at this stylish bar, serving cocktails by award-winning mixologists against a backdrop of sparkling ocean. N Bar — It’s all about understated luxury at this elegant bar, which serves custom-crafted cocktails beneath Byzantine-style arched ceilings.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a visa to visit the Maldives?
British passport holders are issued a free 30-day visitor visa on arrival. You'll need a passport valid for the duration of your stay, a confirmed onward ticket and proof of your accommodation booking.
When is the best time to visit the Maldives?
November to April is the dry season, with the most reliable sunshine and calmest seas. May to October brings shorter rain showers, lower prices and better surf.
What currency is used in the Maldives, and do I need cash?
The local currency is the Maldivian rufiyaa, but resorts price and bill in US dollars and take major cards. Most guests never need cash — a small amount is handy for tipping.
Is the Maldives good for honeymoons outside peak season?
Yes. Off-peak brings noticeably lower rates and quieter islands, and rain tends to come in short bursts rather than all day. Many resorts add honeymoon extras during these months.
What activities are there for older kids and teens in the Maldives?
Most resorts run watersports centres with windsurfing, kayaking and paddleboarding, plus PADI dive courses from around age ten. Snorkelling safaris, sandbank trips and night fishing all suit older children.
