BLUE PALACE, ELOUNDA, CRETE

Here on the majestic coast of Elounda, with sweeping views over the aquamarine Aegean Sea, your days can be spent lazing on the private, white pebble beach or gazing over the edge of infinity pools. You might find yourself on a sunset cruise around the historic island of Spinalonga, wine tasting in the gardens or enjoying a traditional Cretan meal on a secluded shore. For a deeper unwind, visit the gorgeous spa where you can choose from a menu of reinvigorating massages and customised facials.

Dotted around the landscaped grounds, the bungalows and suites are spacious and individually decorated, combining classic Greek motifs with modern exuberance. Most have their own pools and verandas that offer you the most gorgeous vistas. For families or larger groups, book into the hotel’s stunning private villa which comes complete with three bedrooms, expansive gardens and a beautiful private heated pool.
