Discover the ultimate Greek Island escape with Domes

These resorts not only offer you a luxurious stay but whisk you on a savoury adventure with their innovative 'Locale' concept. Participate in live culinary events that paint a vibrant picture of the region's gastronomic heritage, guided by local artisans. From cheese-making to the art of pie crafting and the finesse of wine tasting, each experience is a doorway to the rich flavours and traditions of Greece. Cap off your evenings with our spirited panigiri nights, where the rhythm of dance, the joy of song, and the warmth of traditional Greek tsipouro spirit unite to create unforgettable memories.

Enjoy upgrades in the effortlessly cool Domes Aulūs Elounda

Cool Living upgrades at the adults-only retreat of Domes Aulūs Elounda on Crete include access to a private rooftop pool deck with a restaurant serving Nikkei cuisine, and a ‘Night Out’ package in Agios Nikolaos, consisting of exclusive discounts at cherry-picked spots. Nestled on a private beach with views of Mirabello Gulf and atmospheric Spinalonga islet, Aulūs Elounda has been designed to blend in with its breathtaking natural surroundings.

Accommodation here is in ‘nests’ and open-plan suites with outdoor Jacuzzis or shared infinity pools, and there are also two communal outdoor pools, an award-winning spa, four restaurants, and three bars. Eateries include Agora, an open-air, street-food-style venue with weekly theme nights, including Greek gyros, a poolside grill, and a rooftop bar with champagne tastings, guest mixologists, and DJ nights.

If you want to explore, there’s a whole host of local attractions such as the sinking village of Sfendili, Lasithi Cave (the mythical birthplace of Zeus), the Minoan Palace of Knossos (legendary home to the Minotaur in the maze), Europe’s biggest palm forest, and Voulisma Lagoon. You can also volunteer for the resort’s eco initiatives, including beach cleaning and planting in its gardens

Experience perfection for the family at Domes Aulūs Zante

Where Domes Aulūs Elounda is a grown-up preserve, Domes Aulūs Zante has something for everyone. If you come with children, the innovative new kids concept is centred on the fact that this resort is actually located within a Natura-protected turtle sanctuary. During your holiday, your little ones can become Turtle Scouts tasked with conservation quests, play protection-oriented games, go adventuring with explorer kits, and much more besides. They even get to plant their own greens, herbs, and flowers in the learning garden.

Again, Cool Living upgrades to the existing Premium All Inclusive package include exclusive access to a lounge with all-day unlimited drinks and snacks, a pillow menu, and the services of a 24/7 concierge. Accommodation is in ‘nests’, ‘cocoons’, and ‘retreats’ sleeping up to four which are perfect for families, while couples get their own peaceful accommodation wing with a pool, bar, and restaurant, plus an adults-only beach club.

Blessed with panoramic views of the Ionian Sea and Zante pine forest, Domes Aulūs Zante offers immersive experiences, including guided tours of local natural and historic marvels, hiking, scuba diving, boating to world-famous Navagio Beach (‘Smugglers Cove’), and local cookery classes.
