The Independent Travel Awards are now open, inviting you to share your most extraordinary travel experiences for the chance to win one of 12 incredible prizes.

Among them is this three-night stay for two at Ella Rocrita, situated in the traditional village of Mochlos, Crete.

Winners will be able to escape the crowds and rediscover tranquillity at the resort with 360 rooms and suites, shared pools and panoramic views.

The newly opened retreat invites guests to connect with the island’s soul through Cretan hospitality and cuisine rooted in local tradition.

Five main restaurants feature everything from Italian classics to Mediterranean flavours, plus sunset cocktails at the Roof Garden Cocktail Bar.

The on-site Roée Spa has a menu of wellness options for couples, friends, and families, encouraging guests to slow down and reconnect during mindful moments.

From Mochlos, small boats also run out to the island of Agios Nikolas, an ancient Minoan settlement.

The prize offers a trip for two people sharing a deluxe room on an all-inclusive board basis and must be taken before mid-June 2027 (subject to availability). T&Cs apply.

Spacious deluxe rooms are fitted with king-size beds, walk-in showers and balconies or verandas showcasing sea views.
