Elounda Bay Palace

Elounda Bay Palace

Elounda, Crete, Greece

Star Rating: *****

The five-star allure of the Elounda Bay Palace ensures holidaymakers flock to its finely landscaped gardens year after year. Boasting top-notch facilities and an enviable location overlooking the Aegean Sea, a few days spent here are a few days in paradise.

For starters, the hotel boasts not one – but two – private beaches. There’s an outdoor seawater pool, too, and a freshwater pool that’s exclusively for kids. Plus, with four bars dotted around the premises – including a handy poolside bar – no one’s going to stay thirsty for very long at this luxurious hotel.

Foodies, meanwhile, will love it here. The main restaurant’s a buffet affair that specialises in international cuisine with many of the dishes freshly prepared in front of the guest. There’s also a traditional taverna serving up light seafood lunches, three à la carte restaurants with waterfront views, and a further three à la cartes with Italian, Peruvian and Japanese fusion, plus fine-dining cuisine on the menu.

Health and wellbeing’s taken seriously at this hotel. The Chenot Spa’s unique blend of traditional and ultra-modern treatments – ranging from full-body massages to skin-tingling facials – will leave you feeling totally rejuvenated. Worried about missing a workout? Don’t fret as the state-of-the-art fitness centre ensures you’re kept active even on holiday. What’s more, there are regular yoga, pliates and aerobic classes, floodlit tennis courts, and a water sports centre if you fancy something a bit more adrenaline-inducing.

Back in your room, expect understated Cretan décor, full air-conditioning, plus a private balcony or terrace to help you unwind at the end of a fun-packed day.
