Kiani Beach Resort Family 💎 All-inclusive Crete escape

Kiani Beach Resort sits on the Souda Bay coast in the Akrotiri area, just outside Chania on Crete. The property has its own sandy beach; Kiani Beach is about 100 metres from the rooms, and a short walk along the shore takes you to Kolatsos Beach. The atmosphere is quiet and family-friendly, away from the busier town centres, while Chania International Airport is only around 8 km away, so transfers stay short. The bay is calm and shallow, ideal for swimming with children, and the resort grounds run directly down to the sea.

This is a family resort built around water and open space. There are outdoor and indoor pools, a small water park area and a private beach with sun loungers. There is also a kids' club and a playroom, where parents can relax while children play. Rooms are bright and modern, many with a balcony or terrace overlooking the pool or the sea. As part of the all-inclusive plan, food and drinks are offered throughout the day, so families can eat at the buffet or grab a snack between swims without worrying about extra costs.

The Souda Bay coast is the closest draw to the resort. The port of Souda, where ferries depart for the mainland, is about 7.7 km away. Chania old town, with its Venetian harbour, narrow streets and seaside tavernas, is around 13 km on and worth an afternoon trip. The nearby Akrotiri peninsula has monasteries and quiet coves to explore by car. Much of the area runs along the coast, so a day out can be as simple as driving along the shore to find a new patch of sand.

Families with children of mixed ages looking for a beach base with pools, a kids' club and all-inclusive dining. The all-inclusive plan and short airport transfer make for an easy week with little planning once you arrive.
