A peaceful stay a short walk from Matala Beach
Welcome to Paradise Matala Hotel, a comfortable and welcoming base for discovering the beauty, atmosphere and laid-back charm of Matala. Ideally located just a short walk from the village centre and the famous beach, the hotel offers the best of both worlds: easy access to Matala's restaurants, cafes, shops and seaside atmosphere, while being tucked away in a quieter setting where guests can relax and enjoy a peaceful night's sleep.
The hotel is appreciated for its warm, friendly atmosphere and personal approach. From the moment you arrive, the welcoming team is on hand to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable, creating the relaxed and uncomplicated feeling that makes a holiday in Matala so special. Whether you are visiting for a short getaway, a beach holiday, a festival weekend or a longer stay exploring southern Crete, Paradise Matala Hotel provides a convenient and comfortable place to return to at the end of the day.
Comfortable rooms for a relaxing stay
The rooms are clean, cosy and thoughtfully equipped for a comfortable stay, with air conditioning, a private bathroom with shower, a refrigerator, a desk, a flat-screen TV and free WiFi. Most rooms open onto a private balcony with views over the pool, the garden, the mountains or the village, and family rooms provide extra space for those travelling together. Daily housekeeping keeps rooms and shared areas fresh throughout your stay, so after a day at the beach you can return to a cool, quiet room in the hotel's hillside setting.
Rooms
Relax by the pool
When you are ready to take a break from sightseeing and the beach, the outdoor infinity pool offers a peaceful place to unwind, with sun loungers, umbrellas, a sun deck and a pool bar close at hand. The clean, well-sized pool is ideal for cooling off on warm Cretan days, enjoying a leisurely swim or simply spending a quiet afternoon outdoors in the garden.
A breakfast to look forward to
Breakfast is one of the highlights of the Paradise Matala experience. The generous buffet combines familiar breakfast favourites with fresh local specialities, warm dishes, pastries, fruit, juices and good coffee, and continental, vegan, halal and gluten-free options are available. Whether you prefer something light before heading to the beach or a more substantial meal before a day of exploring Crete, the varied buffet is a satisfying start to the day.
Close to Matala, yet peacefully away
Paradise Matala Hotel is around 750 m from Matala Beach and within easy walking distance of the village centre, so you can reach the restaurants, tavernas and seaside attractions without a car. At the same time the hotel sits away from the busiest part of the village, which makes evenings noticeably quieter, and free private parking adds convenience for guests exploring Crete by car.

"Lots of parking right near the hotel - great if you are renting a car. Location is perfect - it is within 5 to 7 minutes of walking to the Matala centre, but just far enough to be in a quieter area."
