"Lovely hotel on the sea front with two great pools. It’s a little far out from Chania but we used the local bus service to go to Chania and platanias which had a lot more going on. We enjoyed our stay which was good for a four night break. Rooms are immaculate "

"The property was in a wonderful location. It was so nice to escape for a week after first visiting Athens. It felt like a true getaway. The cove in the property was one of the best places we've ever swam in. Our room had a great view of the sunset from right outside our window. Within a 3 minute walking distance to the beach which also allowed for some great swims. When we didn't feel like going out of the property to eat, we were able to get a well cooked meal in the bar area. We'll definitely...

"Staff was excellent. Location was awesome, beach nearby and right on the ocean. The restaurant was amazing too. The pool does get affected by the restaurant but we spent our time mostly at the beach."

Maleme Mare Beach Resort Hotel

8/10 Good
"The hotel itself is immaculately maintained, with beautiful, well-kept grounds that create a lovely first impression. Housekeeping was excellent throughout our stay, and our room was cleaned to a high standard every day. The majority of guests appeared to be over 60, along with a few couples travelling with very young children, mainly from Eastern Europe. There were very few UK visitors during our stay. I travelled with my two teenagers (17 and 18) during the May half-term holiday, and they were a little disappointed that there was no one in their age group to socialise with. If you’re interested in boating or water sports, you’ll likely find plenty to enjoy. However, as my teens are non-swimmers and not particularly interested in water-based activities, we found there was less to do on-site. That said, the hotel provided information on local excursions and activities, which proved invaluable. We particularly enjoyed Pista Go Karting, which had excellent facilities and high-quality karts. We also took a Segway tour of Chania, which was both fun and informative from a historical perspective. One of my teenagers even went paragliding and was told it was the first time a hotel guest had ever requested it! Given the hotel’s typical clientele, that wasn’t entirely surprising. Most of the staff were warm, welcoming, and helpful. Special mention must go to Stavros and Elena, who were an absolute mine of information and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed"

Frequently asked questions

How much does a pet-friendly hotel in Maleme cost?
You can find pet-friendly hotels in Maleme from £62 with Expedia. Staying at a pet-friendly hotel offers a convenient and welcoming experience for travellers who don't want to leave their furry companions behind. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
Which area of Maleme is best to stay in for pet-friendly hotels?
The best area to stay in Maleme for pet-friendly hotels is along the main coastal road that runs through the village, particularly around the central part of Maleme.

This stretch of road is where you'll find the majority of hotels and apartments, many of which are accustomed to guests travelling with pets. It generally runs parallel to the beach, offering easy access to the seafront for walks. You'll find a good selection of tavernas and small shops interspersed among the accommodations.

Couples often find this area convenient for a relaxed holiday with their furry companions. The proximity to the beach allows for enjoyable strolls, and many establishments in this central area are welcoming to well-behaved pets, making it easier to dine out or enjoy a coffee.

Similarly, solo travellers with pets will appreciate the ease of access to amenities and the beach.
How do I ensure I have booked a pet-friendly room in Maleme?
To ensure you've booked a pet-friendly room on Expedia, use the filters in your search and select "Pet friendly" under the "Amenities" section. This will narrow your options to properties that allow pets. Once you find a hotel you're interested in, click on it and review the "Policies" section for specific details about their pet policy. This often includes information about pet types, size restrictions, fees, and whether pets are allowed in all rooms or only certain ones.When selecting your room type, read the room description to check that its pet-friendly, as not all rooms in a pet-friendly hotel may accommodate pets. For added peace of mind, contact the hotel directly to confirm the room you've selected allows pets.
What pet-friendly activities should we do in Maleme?
While Maleme itself is a quiet village, the best pet-friendly activities involve exploring the wider Chania region, particularly its natural landscapes and some specific beachfront areas.

For couples or solo travellers with a dog, a fantastic option is exploring the hiking trails around Maleme and further afield in the Chania prefecture. Many walking paths through olive groves and along the coastline are suitable for well-behaved dogs on a lead. For example, the path leading west from Maleme towards the neighbouring villages offers scenic views and plenty of space for a walk.

Another excellent choice for pet owners is visiting one of the designated pet-friendly beaches or less crowded stretches of coastline. While Maleme beach itself is generally not designated for dogs, areas slightly outside the main village or less organised beaches further west towards Kolymvari often welcome dogs, especially during off-peak hours.
What amenities should I look for in a pet-friendly hotel in Maleme?
When selecting a hotel in Maleme for you and your pet, look for amenities like food and water bowls, pet-friendly outdoor spaces and pet beds. You may find hotels that go the extra mile with pet-friendly dining options, treats and toys. It's also worth looking to see if there are any pet-friendly parks or walking trails nearby.
