Ruby Red is a boutique hotel within the Out Of The Blue Capsis Elite Resort, a five-star complex on a private peninsula on the north coast of Crete, around 20 minutes from Heraklion next to the fishing village of Agia Pelagia.
The interiors put the emphasis on comfort with a traditional Greek touch, drawing on the natural colours of Greek marble and wood influenced by the Minoan palette. A private collection of paintings by Greek artists, antique furniture, statues, and ornaments from Greece and across Europe carries through the property.
The room range covers classic guestrooms and suites up to two-bedroom suites and the Presidential Suite, with guests also having the run of the wider resort’s beaches, six restaurants, five pools, and the Euphoria Spa.
The wider resort covers six restaurants. Red Pepper is the main Mediterranean buffet over Cladissos beach, while Seasalt and Rosemary handles Cretan and Greek cooking on the seafront among pine and olive trees. H2O is the à la carte Asian-international venue beside the Crystal pool, with a nightly water-music-light show.
Précieux serves gourmet Greek and international plates, and the clifftop Safran covers Italian and seafood with Aegean views.
The Euphoria Spa takes its name from the Greek word for an uplifting state of mind, with a menu of holistic treatments that go beyond beauty toward health, stress reduction, and recovery, using pure, natural, environmentally friendly products.
The menu covers relaxation, massage, slimming, and anti-ageing treatments, with the Fit4Life Fitness Lounge handling the gym side.
The Out Of The Blue Capsis Elite Resort spreads across a private peninsula wrapped in a large botanical garden, with sandy and pebble beaches, five swimming pools, and Aegean views throughout.
Facilities cover a water sports centre, a PADI dive centre, an open-air cinema, virtual bowling, a shopping arcade, the Capsis Minoan amusement park, and a private chapel. Heraklion city and airport are around 20 minutes away.
The classic guestrooms each have a balcony with a pool, garden, or sea view, decorated in a classic European style with traditional fabrics, stylish furniture, and marble bathrooms.
The entry-level category at Ruby Red, well-suited to couples.
The Classic Suites vary in size, some with cosy sitting areas and others a separate lounge and dining area. The elegant European decor and fittings give them a comfortable feel.
The natural step up from a guestroom for guests wanting more living space.
Set over the main pool, this large suite has two double bedrooms, a living room, and two marble bathrooms. The decor blends European and traditional Greek style with marble floors, Minoan-style ornaments, and rich fabrics.
A solid pick for two couples or a family stay.
The Presidential Suites are spacious, with Aegean views from a private terrace, a master bedroom, a separate living room, and a marble bathroom with bathtub and separate walk-in shower.
The flagship category at Ruby Red.
