Four Wonderful Days at Grecotel LUXME White Palace, Crete

From 9th–12th June 2026, I was lucky enough to spend four unforgettable days at Grecotel LUXME White Palace in beautiful Crete while attending the annual Designer Travel Company Conference. It was made even more special because I celebrated my birthday on 9th June – and I honestly couldn't have wished for a better place to spend it!

From the moment I arrived, I felt completely looked after. The team were genuinely warm, friendly and attentive, always greeting you with a smile and making sure every little detail was taken care of. It really is the kind of place where you can switch off and relax from day one.

The weather was simply perfect throughout my stay, with glorious sunshine, clear blue skies and the most beautiful views across the sparkling sea. Whether I was enjoying a leisurely breakfast, walking along the beach or simply taking in the stunning surroundings, it felt like paradise.

As someone who loves great food, the all-inclusive offering completely exceeded my expectations. Every meal felt like a dining experience rather than a buffet, with an incredible choice of restaurants serving everything from traditional Greek dishes to international cuisine, all beautifully prepared and full of flavour.

One of the absolute highlights was an evening at Agreco Farm. This traditional working farm celebrates authentic Cretan life, producing its own organic ingredients and showcasing local farming traditions. Dining there was a truly special experience, with delicious farm-to-table dishes served in a rustic setting that perfectly captured the warmth and charm of Crete.
