The luxurious Minos Palace Resort on Crete will take a new approach to wellness with Nao, its longevity center, set to open in May 2025.
The beautiful Minos Palace Resort on Crete has many assets to offer. It is located on a secluded peninsula and offers 360° views of the Aegean Sea. The adults-only hideaway therefore offers its guests absolute peace und Abgeschiedenheit. Künftig ergänzt “Nao”, das neue Zentrum für Longevity, das umfangreiche Angebot. Das Resort will dadurch zu einem führenden Luxus-Wellness-Ziel werden.

Doch was erwartet Gäste konkret, wenn im Mai 2025 mit “Nao” das erste Longevity Zentrum Kretas seine Pforten öffnet? “Nao ist als rein natural answer auf den weltweiten Ruf nach einer glücklicheren und gesünderen Welt entstanden – das Konzept ist die wahre Verkörperung unseres tiefgreifenden Engagements für Fürsorge, Nachhaltigkeit, Innovation und Exzellenz, das schon mehr als 50 Jahre anhält”, so Gina Mamidaki. Sie ist die visionäre CEO hinter dem Projekt. “Nao” ist hergeleitet vom altgriechischen Wort für “fließen” und soll kontinuierliche Transformation sowie Harmonie symbolisieren.
At the heart of the longevity center’s offerings is a groundbreaking wellbeing approach that targets the 12 hallmarks of aging. By directly addressing the key biological processes that drive aging, the goal is not only to extend your lifespan but also to enhance the years spent in good health—longevity at its finest.The program focuses on four key areas: nutrition, sleep, movement, and self-mastery. Combined, these elements create a holistic approach to physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Even before their arrival, guests complete a comprehensive questionnaire. This helps the on-site therapists plan the fundamental direction of their stay. Upon arrival, detailed tests and expert consultations further refine their personalized wellness journey. It ranges from customized nutrition plans to personalized fitness programs and optimized sleep schedules.
Of course, nothing is left to chance when it comes to therapies. The center utilizes cutting-edge technologies, combined with holistic approaches, to create innovative signature treatments. These include PBM red light therapy for cell regeneration and vitality, cryotherapy to combat inflammation and accelerate healing, vibro-acoustic therapies for relaxation and better sleep, as well as functional body therapies. For these treatments, premium skincare products and advanced techniques are used to enhance the experience and results.
Since the Nao programs are tailored to each guest’s unique needs, every stay is different. If you're interested, you can opt for a one-day introductory program or embark on a profound, transformative journey lasting up to two weeks. A key component of every program is the development of a strategy to ensure that the newly adopted lifestyle can be easily integrated into daily life.
The setting for this comprehensive wellness experience couldn’t be more perfect. In addition to the stunning location, guests can enjoy two restaurants with seasonal menus, two bars, and a diverse activity program. Offerings range from watersports and tennis to hiking and leisurely walks. Guests can choose from 121 elegant rooms, bungalows, and suites. While large parts of Minos Palace Crete were renovated last year, the brand-new Nao longevity center will officially open in May 2025.
