If you are on the hunt for resorts that combine easy access, luxury and relaxation in one place, look no further than the world-renowned 5* sister-properties Elounda Beach Hotel & Villas and Elounda Bay Palace.
SUPERB weather
For those looking to avoid the heat at the peak of summer, going later in the season means gentler temperatures. Crete at this time also has more sunshine compared to islands in the north, making the weather conditions just perfect for relaxation.
Sunbath by the hotels’ outdoor pools, experience fine dining at Dionysos restaurant and balmy evenings at Veghera Bar with a soft sea breeze from 20-29 °C.
Warm sea that is actually swimmable!
Soaking up the heat for months throughout summer, the sea is much warmer than in earlier months. Take a splash any time in the day and lounge around on sunbeds for slow afternoons in one of the hotels’ four private Blue Flag-awarded sandy beaches and enjoy first-class service right on the water’s edge.
Marvel at the hotels’ lush gardens and the dazzling views of Mirabello Bay’s endless blue or get that adrenaline coursing through your veins with exhilarating watersports on offer, from water skiing to scuba diving and more.
That dream room you’ve been eyeing for months? It’s now bookable!
Stay in sea view Deluxe Bungalows at Elounda Bay Palace or opt for more space in one of the Hideaway Villas with private pools at Elounda Beach Hotel. This is the time of better rates compared to July and August stays, which means even better value for money. Both Elounda resorts offer a wreath of accommodations ranging from classic style rooms, luxury suites and sharing pool rooms to breathtaking private bungalows and waterfront villas with private pools, so there will always be something that suits your taste and budget.
