WORLD TRAVEL AWARDS 2017: Elounda Beach & Elounda Bay Palace Win Top Honours
For the second year in a row, Elounda Beach Hotel & Villas and Elounda Bay Palace Hotel, two five-star properties in Crete, won top honours at the World Travel Awards 2017.

Elounda Beach Hotel & Villas was awarded ‘Europe’s Leading Resort Villas’ and for the second time awarded ‘Greece’s Leading Hotel’, while Elounda Bay Palace won the title of ‘Europe’s Leading Seafront Resort’ for the second year running. These accolades are regarded as the most prestigious accolades in the hospitality industry.
Both properties held off stiff international competition before claiming the coveted titles last weekend, cementing their positions as global leaders in the hospitality industry.
“We are honoured to be recognised in two of the most competitive categories at the 2017 World Travel Awards,” said General Manager Manolis Rassoulis. “We appreciate everyone’s support in making Elounda Beach and Elounda Bay Palace leading hotels of the world!”
