Elounda Beach Hotel & Villas: An Original Icon of Elounda

Elounda Beach Hotel & Villas is one of the original grand resorts that made the Elounda coast of Crete famous, a beachfront property of suites and villas, many with private pools, on the beautiful Gulf of Mirabello. A Leading Hotels of the World Sustainability Leader, it remains a byword for a certain kind of Greek luxury.

The dining is generous. Dionyssos serves Mediterranean fusion with a legendary wine cellar; the waterfront Blue Lagoon offers Polynesian, Japanese and Chinese dishes with an acclaimed sushi bar; Argonaut handles Mediterranean and Italian with ocean views; and the traditional Kafenion taverna serves bold, authentic Cretan cuisine.

For a classic, full-service Crete stay on the Mirabello gulf, Elounda Beach is a standout.
