Domes of Elounda

Domes of Elounda is no ordinary five-star hotel – it oozes luxury that’s uniquely Cretan, seamlessly blending into its idyllic surroundings on the island’s northeast coast, overlooking the Venetian fortress on Spinalonga islet. Set among olive groves and Mediterranean flower gardens and criss-crossed by winding stone pathways, and featuring earthy colour tones and architectural features that pay homage to the region, it retains a sense of authenticity while providing all the top notch facilities and hospitality you’d expect from a modern five-star hotel. 

Days here offer endless opportunities for relaxing and disconnecting from the stresses of daily life, with several outdoor pools of all shapes and sizes (including one that’s nearly 70 metres long) and a private sandy beach dotted with comfy sun loungers and hammocks. Head over to the Soma Spa, meanwhile, and you’ll find a heated indoor adults-only pool, a sauna, and a glimmering, black and gold candlelit hammam – an environment tailor-made for rest and rejuvenation. A plethora of treatments are available, including stone therapy, massages, and body scrubs using premium quality natural skin care products.
