FIVE STAR RATED MEDITERANEAN HOLIDAYS FOR SINGLES ONLY

Welcome to the Mistral Hotel in Crete, the Trip Advisor* 5 star rated boutique-style family-owned hotel that offers solo holidays exclusively for single travellers. Come and visit and you’ll discover like-minded people, great food with vegetables straight from our garden, and local wine, all under the warm Mediterranean sun.

NO SINGLE SUPPLEMENTS

As a dedicated destination for solo-only holidaymakers, our 35 rooms are all designated for ‘single occupancy’. As such, depending on the quality of room you choose – either standard or deluxe – everybody pays the same rate and there are none of the additional or hidden ‘single room supplements’ that solos find so off-putting.

YOU’LL NEVER EAT ALONE

We know from talking to our regular guests that the other big negative for singles is eating alone or having to ask for a table for one. That’s why, at the Mistral, everybody dines together at a communal table sharing a complimentary carafe (or two!) of red, white, or rosé, chatting about the events of the day and making plans for tomorrow before dancing under the stars.

IT’S PERFECT FOR SINGLES – AND IT ALL HAPPENS IN PARADISE!

OK so we’re a little bit biased but we think our Western part of Crete is a little bit of paradise. Whilst you’re here we’d love to show you all of our favourite beaches, restaurants, vineyards, markets, walks – all the little things that are so totally authentic and memorable.

What people like you say about singles holidays at the Mistral

It is actually a combination of the atmosphere, the food, the rooms, the trips and the service which makes the Mistral unique and a special place to visit. I would add that it’s the feeling of being with a family who care about the hotel that makes a difference as well as the quality provided in all aspects.

Like-minded single holiday makers enjoying drinks at the Mistral Hotel bar

It gets better and better for solo holidaymakers

In fact, our entire holiday offering is dedicated to solos and single holidaymakers who wish to meet like-minded people. It should come as no surprise that the bar at the Mistral has been the starting point for many long-term friendships for people who return year after year to catch up with friends. We also have a very active Facebook group that often arrange to meet independently back in the UK or elsewhere.

Crete is the perfect place for a singles holiday

Best of all it happens on Crete – the perfect destination for single people

Naturally we’re biased but we think Crete is the perfect place for a singles holiday. It’s the largest island in Greece with an ancient classical history, some amazing natural scenery, absolutely beautiful beaches and a culture all of its own. Then of course you have the local cuisine, the local music, the local colour and the locals themselves – so warm and welcoming. Come and stay as a single at the Mistral Hotel and you’ll find it’s more than just a holiday, it’s an immersive Cretan experience shared with new friends.

Our Rooms

Single rooms - no single supplements

The Mistral has 35 rooms – 27 deluxe and 8 standard. Every one is designated for single occupancy, but we never charge a single supplement. The design is contemporary Cretan styling with furnishings, bathroom fittings, tiles and locally produced artwork, carefully selected to create the perfect ambience for your holiday. Every bed has an award-winning COCO MAT Orthosomatic Top Mattress and luxury feather pillows.

THOSE WHO DRINK TOGETHER THINK TOGETHER

The Mistral’s famous outdoor bar is the focal point of the hotel. You’re never single when you drink in good company and the bar serves frosty drinks as you chill by the pool during the day. By night it’s ‘meeting central’ for pre-dinner sundowners, post-dinner conversations and late-night philosophical conversations (well, something like that!)
