Minos Palace Resort

Nao — from the ancient Greek meaning "to flow" — is a longevity hub built on the Nao Method: an ultra-personalised, evidence-based approach that draws on the latest findings in longevity science. By harnessing each guest's unique biochemical, genetic and cellular makeup, it aims to slow — and potentially reverse — the ageing process, extending both lifespan and healthspan.

The method rests on five core pillars — Nutrition, Sleep, Movement, Self-Mastery, and Connection & Purpose — which together address the 14 hallmarks of ageing. Every journey combines state-of-the-art prognostics and biometrics (DNA testing, metabolic and VO2 Max analysis, biological age, HRV, body composition) with an ultra-personalised treatment plan and take-home interventions that continue beyond the stay.

The two-floor hub houses 8 single treatment rooms, 2 consultation rooms, a Brain Gym, 3 touchless therapy rooms (photobiomodulation bed, vibroacoustics lounger, cryo chamber), an infrared sauna, hot & cold plunge pools, a vitality pool, an emotional shower tunnel, and indoor/outdoor relaxation and meditation areas. Nao operates 09:00–19:00 daily.

Wellbeing is integral to the dining concept: seasonal, restorative ingredients transformed into nourishing dishes, served in a natural setting surrounded by sea. On Nao programmes, breakfast, lunch and dinner follow a custom full-board meal plan set by the nutritionist.

Amar Restaurant — a beachside escape blending traditional Mediterranean recipes with modern culinary creativity. Mom Restaurant — an indoor-outdoor, all-day space where conscious living meets the science of wellbeing, with à la carte and buffet options.
