Elounda Bay Palace
Scenic, stylish and serene, this sophisticated seaside resort occupies a beautiful spot along Crete’s north-east coast. Set in Mirabello Bay with two private sandy beaches, the property’s location is ideal for watersports enthusiasts, while several swimming pools and the alfresco lunch restaurant, Ariadne Tavern, encourage long lazy days and a chance to unwind.
As a member of The Leading Hotels of the World, the resort offers 5-star hospitality and excellent amenities right by the sea. Classic or modern-style rooms and suites have an air of understated elegance, with garden, mountain or sea views and, in some cases, multi-room options for families with shared or private pools.
In addition to the aforementioned taverna, you’ll find modern Mediterranean cuisine at F Restaurant and gourmet seafood served right on the water’s edge at Thalassa. Soak up sparkling panoramas and a breezy beach atmosphere at the open-air Sail-In Bar. Or take shade under a tree at the poolside Poseidon bar.
A fully equipped watersports and PADI centre offers a host of fun things to do out on the water, with sailing, waterskiing, jet-skiing and scuba diving all available. Back on dry land, why not work up a sweat in the gym or treat yourself to a massage or a variety of treatments at the excellent Chenot Spa.
