Elounda Beach Hotel and Villas

Elounda Beach Hotel and Villas is in the business of luxury getaways to suit the whole family, and it does it better than most. Expect bags of Cretan charm, a stellar line-up of facilities, and a winning location. It's bagged a tranquil spot right on the coast that comes complete with access to a secluded stretch of white sandy beach and the sweeping sea views to match – piqued your interest?

That’s just the start of what’s on offer here. The fly-and-flop crowd can scope out a poolside perch and let the Cretan sun work its magic – stack of holiday reading optional but encouraged. There’s a first-class spa on deck, too, with everything from massages and facials to yoga and Pilates classes on offer.
