Elounda Bay Palace: A Grande Dame of the Crete Coast

Elounda Bay Palace is one of the founding names of the Elounda coast, the stretch of eastern Crete that has long been Greece's most exclusive resort area. A Leading Hotels of the World Sustainability Leader, its suites and villas line a private bay looking across to the historic islet of Spinalonga.

The dining is romantic and varied. Thalassa serves gourmet seafood at the water's edge with candlelight and live music; F Restaurant offers modern Mediterranean by the sea; the Ariadne Taverna is a classic seaside taverna under olive trees; and Aretoussa handles buffets with panoramic bay views.

For a classic, refined Crete stay on the storied Elounda coast, the Bay Palace is a benchmark.
