Stay at a landmark address on Crete’s coast

Direct sea access and private beaches

The hotel occupies a rare stretch of waterfront with uninterrupted views across the Mediterranean. Guests have direct access to the sea and two private sandy beaches, both awarded Blue Flag status for cleanliness and water quality. Sunbeds and umbrellas are complimentary, and the layout of the property means you’re never far from the shoreline. There’s also an outdoor seawater pool, walking paths throughout the grounds, and a water sports centre offering everything from PADI diving to sailing and jet skiing. Elounda village is within walking distance for those who want to explore local tavernas and cafés.

Accommodation designed around privacy

With over 240 rooms, suites, bungalows, and villas, the accommodation range is broad enough to suit couples, families, and larger groups. Entry-level rooms offer sea or garden views, while higher categories introduce generous living space, larger terraces, and upgraded features. Many bungalows and villas come with private or shared pools, and the waterfront collection stands out for its direct sea access via private platforms reserved exclusively for those guests. Multi-bedroom villas, heated pools, and even private gyms are available in the upper-tier categories, making it a strong choice for guests seeking space, discretion, and a genuine home-from-home feel.

Flexible dining across the resort

Stays are available on a bed & breakfast or half-board basis, with a dine-around concept that allows guests to use dining credit across several à la carte restaurants. Options range from Mediterranean fine dining at Dionysos to Italian cuisine at Argonaut and Asian fusion at Blue Lagoon, alongside traditional Greek dishes served in relaxed seaside settings. Casual beach and pool bars provide lighter options during the day, while evening venues include a jetty cocktail bar and lobby lounge. The variety means guests can mix formal dinners with more laid-back meals throughout their stay.

Wellness, sport, and family facilities

Facilities extend well beyond the beach, with plenty in place for guests who like to balance downtime with something more active. The Elounda Beach Penthouse Spa offers a calm, well-equipped space for treatments, along with indoor and outdoor pools, while the fitness centre and tennis courts make it easy to keep up a routine if you choose to. Families are equally well catered for, thanks to a complimentary kids’ club and dedicated teens’ activities that run throughout the season. Spacious accommodation options and thoughtful services, including babysitting on request, mean parents can properly relax too.
