Families and couples alike looking for exclusivity, luxury and superb views.
Overlooking the Gulf of Mirabello, the Elounda Private Villas and Suites are located just outside Elounda village and 8kms from the pretty Aghios Nikolaos. The drive from Heraklion airport takes around an hour.
The 18 private villas (one to four bedrooms) have large kitchens, living and dining rooms, their own seawater infinity pools and Jacuzzis. A butler will bring you breakfast on request. In addition to the Elounda Gulf villas, there are 10 luxurious hotel suites.
The Elounda villas allow you to combine the independence of self-catering with the excellent restaurants at the hotel. Argo Restaurant is smart but relaxed with a full children’s menu, while Daphne Restaurant is open for gourmet dinners in the evenings. Elounda’s spa, the Elixir Gallery, is a real treat.
Watersports can be found at the beach 2kms away, and there’s an 18-hole golf course some 30 minutes’ drive away.
Book a luxurious Spa Villa – they include Turkish bath, sauna and small gym. The infinity pools are filled with seawater, so take plenty of conditioner and goggles!
