Nalu Resort & Spa
Rethymno, Greece · ★ 5 Exceptional B.Booking.com 10.0
A private hot tub on your terrace, palm trees, and the Cretan Sea just beyond. Rethymno done properly.
Slide the glass door open and the hot tub is right there on the terrace, bubbling quietly while palm trees frame a view straight out to the Cretan Sea. That's the picture from the Double Sea View with Jacuzzi at Nalu Resort & Spa, and it's as good in person as it sounds. If you're looking for a hotel with a private in-room hot tub in Rethymno, this is one of the more considered options on the coast. The Double Premium with Private Pool adds a proper plunge pool at terrace level, with sunloungers and open sky above.
The rooms themselves are warm and calm: woven headboards, linen tones, sliding doors that make the terrace feel like a continuation of the bedroom rather than an afterthought. Guests rate it a perfect 10, which is rare enough to be worth saying. The one thing to note: the hot tub sits outside on the terrace rather than inside the bathroom, so factor that in if you're travelling in shoulder season.

Questions, answered
Is the hot tub inside the room or outside?+
It's on your private terrace, just through the sliding glass doors from the bedroom, so it's fully private but open to the sky. Worth bearing in mind if you're visiting outside the summer months.
Which room type should we book for the best sea view from the hot tub?+
The Double Sea View with Jacuzzi is the one to go for if the view matters most, with palm trees and the Cretan Sea visible from the terrace. The Double Premium with Private Pool is the step up if you'd like a plunge pool as well.
Which area of Rethymno gives the best views from an in-room tub?+
It depends what you're after. Old-town suites like those at Erotokritos Luxury City Suites put you among the minarets and Venetian loggia, so you're soaking with rooftop history on every side. Coastal properties like Nalu Resort and Spa face the sea, which means open-water light in the morning and a quieter stretch of beach just outside.
What's the price range, and is there a better-value time of year to visit?+
Nightly rates across our listed properties run from around €55 to €216, which is a genuinely wide spread for a Cretan destination. Shoulder season, particularly May and October, tends to bring lower rates and softer crowds while still giving you warm enough weather to make an outdoor plunge pool worthwhile.
