Stella Island Luxury Resort & Spa

Stella Island Luxury Resort & Spa is an adults-only resort in Analipsi, where a continuous network of lagoon-style pools runs through the entire property, with rooms and walkways arranged directly along the water.

The layout is defined by this water system, rather than by conventional blocks or central spaces. Wooden walkways cut across the pools, linking low-rise buildings that sit close to the edges, while terraces open straight onto the water. The spacing is deliberate, keeping the pools dominant and uninterrupted, with planting used sparingly to soften the structure without breaking it up.

This gives the resort a clear internal focus, where movement, views and daily use are all shaped by the water itself. It feels contained and consistent, with the entire property working to a single idea rather than breaking into separate zones.

Staying

Rooms and villas are positioned within this framework, with a strong emphasis on direct water access. Swim-up rooms place terraces immediately onto the lagoon, while overwater bungalows sit fully above it, creating a more defined sense of separation. Higher categories introduce private pools and more discreet positioning, offering additional privacy while still connecting back to the main layout.

Dining is spread across several venues, with Kimata as the main restaurant and La Parilla, Oceania, Umami and Vegera each offering distinct styles. Paraiso provides lighter daytime options, while Cabana Bar sits within the pool areas, keeping activity centred around the resort’s core spaces.

Experience

The focus remains on the central pool network, supported by a private beach, sports facilities and fitness areas. Activities such as yoga, cycling and personal training are available, though the layout itself encourages a slower pace without relying on structured programming.

Wellness

The spa is positioned as a separate wellness space, with treatment rooms, hammam, sauna and relaxation areas, alongside a fully equipped gym.

Where

Located in Analipsi, approximately 15 km from Heraklion International Airport, the hotel sits close to Hersonissos while remaining physically set apart from the main resort area.
