Nestling into the hillside overlooking the Bay of Mirabello
near Aghios Nikolaos, Porto Elounda Resort is an oasis of recreation and
discreet luxury built with respect to the splendid natural surroundings
and the architectural tradition of the land. The resort comprises a splendid
nine hole par-3 golf course and three luxury hotels: Porto Elounda De
Luxe Resort, Elounda Peninsula and Elounda Mare.
Porto Elounda De Luxe Resort comprises a hotel and a series of villas
and bungalows. Hotel accommodation consists of luxury guestrooms, several
of them with direct access to large terraced pools, while the seafront
Bungalows have direct access to the beach or bathing platform, and the
Villas on the fairways boast their own private plunge pools. Porto Elounda
has three restaurants; the table d'hôte Nafsika, the à la
carte Elies and the seaside Odysseus tavern (seasonal). Lined by shops
and art galleries, the traditional Greek village square "Playiada"
is the ideal location for taking shade during the day and entertainment
at night. Porto Elounda own leisure amenities include a Health Club, a
swimming pool and a furnished beach.
Elounda Peninsula is an all-suite, 6 star luxury hotel poised on a peninsula
with unparalleled views to the sea. Accommodation is formed by Duplex
Suites, with direct access to private or shared pools, and Presidential
Suites, with their own seaside sun decks and plunge pools. Elounda peninsula
has received several awards, the most noteworthy being the Conde Nast
Traveller 2006 Gold List Award. Guests may dine at the Calypso restaurant,
under the supervision of Jacques Le Divellec - holder of Michelin star
- or at any restaurants at the resort. Guests enjoy exclusive access to
a styllish spa, wine cellar and THX home theatre.
Elounda Mare is an intimate Relais & Chateaux property of traditional
Cretan architecture with stunning views over the bay. Accommodation is
distributed between the main building overlooking the pool and the sea,
and several bungalows in the gardens. The main building offers tastefully
decorated rooms and suites, while each bungalow has a sun deck with a
private plunge pool. Elounda Mare has three highly acclaimed dining venues;
The table d'hôte Deck restaurant, the à la carte Yacht Club
and the gourmet Old Mill. Elounda Mare own leisure amenities include a
furnished beach, a large heated seawater pool and fitness facilities.
Leisure facilities at the hotels include a wide range of watersports,
from sailing to Scuba diving and yacht charter, a tennis centre with pro
and a Children's Club. The world-renowned Six Senses Spas treatments are
offered in specially designed areas of the hotels. The resort has also
been awarded the European Blue Flag.
