Elounda Mare Hotel Relais & Châteaux

In the main building you’ll find classic rooms and spacious suites, each with a sun-kissed balcony or terrace.

When it comes to activities, guests won’t be disappointed with the range of options available, including a private nine-hole golf course, an impressive Six Senses Spa and an Eliana K IV sailing boat for days out on the open water. Head down to the private beach for a swim in the Aegean, sunbathe on the sand under clear blue skies, or spend time with your tribe enjoying various watersports. Families can also visit the sister property, the Elounda Peninsula All Suite Hotel, which offers the largest kids’ club in the area, with a crèche, football camp, pool with waterslides, golf lessons, basketball and more.
