Seafront style and Cretan charm
Elounda Beach Hotel and Villas is in the business of luxury getaways to suit the whole family, and it does it better than most. Expect bags of Cretan charm, a stellar line-up of facilities, and a winning location. It's bagged a tranquil spot right on the coast that comes complete with access to a secluded stretch of white sandy beach and the sweeping sea views to match – piqued your interest?
That’s just the start of what’s on offer here. The fly-and-flop crowd can scope out a poolside perch and let the Cretan sun work its magic – stack of holiday reading optional but encouraged. There’s a first-class spa on deck, too, with everything from massages and facials to yoga and Pilates classes on offer.
If you’re less about kicking back and more about kicking it up a notch, there’s plenty to suit the activity-mad crowd, too. The sports facilities tick off tennis, volleyball, badminton, and basketball, so a little friendly competition can definitely be arranged. There’s also a well-stocked gym, and a daily fitness programme, while tots will have their own daily roster of fun and games courtesy of the animations team. You're not restricted just to what's on offer here, either. Mosey over to neighbouring Elounda Bay Palace and check that out for size – you'll get access to the facilities of both during your stay.
If you fancy splurging on a real treat, meanwhile, the hotel organises the likes of boat trips to Spinalonga Island, nearby Agios Nikolaos, or even sunset cruises. Or, if it’s what lies beneath you’re more interested in, why not check out the onsite diving centre?
Wondering what you’ll be munching on during your stay? Breakfast is a generous buffet spread served in a cosy poolside spot, and then for lunch and dinner you've got access to seven à la carte restaurants between this hotel and the Elounda Bay Palace, which is the sister hotel next door. From a traditional Greek taverna and an Italian eatery to the Asian fusion place and the fine-dining spot, your taste buds will be in for a treat. And for drinks? Four watering holes have got you covered, including the Veghera Jetty Bar, which makes the perfect spot for a sunset tipple.
What Elounda Beach Hotel and Villas has to offer
Sand and sea
Room with a view?
You're guaranteed a room that spies the ocean here, as they're all angled towards the sea. It's just another one of those extra touches that this place is all about, and it's no surprise given just how long this place has been in the luxury game, as it was the first luxury hotel not just on the island, but in all of Greece. Now that's a claim to fame!
