ITS DÉCOR IS REMINISCENT OF A TRADITIONAL CRETAN MANSION
A collection of romantic white bungalows overlooking the turquoise waters of Mirabello Bay in northern Crete, Elounda Mare has a truly relaxing vibe.
A Relais & Chateau property, it has carefully tended flower gardens leading to a beautiful Blue Flag beach where you can enjoy an array of water sports. Its décor is reminiscent of a traditional Cretan mansion, built in the local manner with great stonework, adorned inside with antique furniture and fascinating artworks. Bedrooms are and suites are housed in the main building, whilst bungalows and their private saltwater pools are scattered throughout the fragrant gardens. All boast fantastic sea views.
The property belongs to the Elounda Hotels & Resorts complex, and shares facilities with its two nearby sister hotels including a nine-hole golf course, sumptuous Six Senses Spa and kids’ club. When it comes to dining, you’ll be truly spoilt for choice with an array of suburb culinary experiences, lounges and unique bars to choose from.
Otherwise, the Elounda Mare is perfectly situated to discover Crete and its ancient ruins, breathtaking beaches, pretty streets and monasteries. A chapel even overlooks the hotel’s private bay.

The service we received from The Ultimate Travel Company was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.
The destinations were fabulous, but what really stood out was the care and patience Tania showed as she guided me and my sister through every question and hesitation. Nothing felt rushed or too much trouble. The result? A truly wonderful holiday. Thank you.
