Photo of Domes of Elounda

“A stunning resort on Mirabello Bay with its own private beach and dreamy views. Smart rooms and suites have modern furnishings, all the modern gadgetry, balconies, and some have private pools. Three excellent restaurants, salt water pools and an extensive spa complete the picture on this luxe stay.”

Hotel Review

Perched on a hill to offer a dreamy view of the glittering ocean and Unesco-protected island of Spinalonga, The Domes of Elounda offers everything you’d hope for in a five-star resort; particularly if you’re visiting with children thanks to its warm team, fantastic kids’ club and convenient, delicious buffet restaurant; although there are adult-only areas that cater to couples, too. The resort is beautifully-maintained throughout, boasting a collection of spacious villas and suites – some with private pools (they could do with a little heating during the cooler seasons, including the resort’s family pool). Some of the accommodation is set on a steep slope, but there are numerous golf carts available to whiz guests around the resort in minutes. Other highlights include the pretty private beach, where you’ll find one of the resort’s four restaurants - Topos 1910 – which is particularly lovely at night when the sun is setting.
