Nao Longevity Hub

at Minos Palace Resort Crete

The Art of Mindful Longevity.

At Minos Palace Resort, Bluegr Hotels & Resorts is redefining the essence of hospitality, shifting it from a mere stay to a scientifically grounded journey of personal evolution. In Agios Nikolaos, Crete, on a sunlit peninsula with panoramic views of the Aegean, Bluegr Hotels & Resorts reimagines luxury as mindful care for the body, the spirit, and our relationship with the environment.

Minos Palace Resort, an adults-only retreat with a strong local identity, has entered a new chapter with Nao: a longevity hub rooted in scientific research, advanced therapeutic methods, and an innovative architectural philosophy. The transformation unfolded in two stages.

The first, in spring 2024, reimagined the resort’s public spaces. The second reached its culmination in May 2025 with the unveiling of Nao, a 1,100 m² wellness center spread over two levels, featuring eight treatment rooms, meditation spaces, a Brain Gym, Infrared Sauna, PBM Therapy, and Vibroacoustics. Every experience is guided by expert scientific collaborators and an international Scientific Advisory Board.
