Elounda Mare hotel details: Overlooking Mirabello Bay, this hotel is situated on the North Coast of the island of Crete, in an area of outstanding natural beauty.

Paradise exists only in the mind so they say, but in reality, Elounda Mare has created a pretty close imitation. An extensive collection of whitewashed bungalows, strung together by bougain villea-laced paths and sunny little courtyards, this is exactly like a Cretan village. Since 1988, it has been a member of the prestigious international Relais & Chateaux group. Renowned for its genuine warmth and friendliness, this hotel proudly upholds a tradition spanning 20 years of excellence in courtesy and cuisine. A great number of staff members have been here for more than a decade, forming cherished bonds with guests, many of whom have been returning for even longer.

With its award-winning restaurants, comprehensive leisure facilities and exquisite design, this is the ideal choice for the discerning traveller seeking a relaxing holiday in a serene and intimate setting.

In the main building, the lounges are elegantly furnished and decorated with antiques throughout. There is also a TV room, an internet corner and a lounge for playing card games.

A large heated sea water swimming pool with a paddling pool for children lies in front of the main hotel. There are extended lawns and seaside sundecks along the shore where sunshades and deck chairs are provided free of charge for sunbathing. By the sandy beach, the Sea Sports Centre includes water-skiing and scuba diving tuitions. There are also canoes, pedaloes and windsurfing equipment, as well as a sailing yacht and a motorboat for hire.

Other sporting opportunities also include 2 artificial grass tennis courts with tuition available, a fitness room and table tennis. At our sister property only 500 metres away, there is a 9-hole par-3 golf course with golf academy and pro shop.

Europe’s first Six Senses Spa is also situated within the sister property and provides an unrivalled range of signature treatments that focus on health, beauty, pampering, stress reduction and recuperation. It uses pure, natural and environmentally friendly products. This luxuriously appointed spa spreads over 2,200 m², setting unique standards in spa design.

Location

About 2 km from the hotel is the picturesque fishing village of Elounda with its small harbour surrounded by shops, taverns and cafes. On the islet of Spinalonga, opposite the small village of Plaka with its lovely pebble beaches, the Venetians built a seemingly impregnable castle. On the Spinalonga peninsula is the ancient town of Olous where snorkellers and divers can discover the submerged ruins of an ancient city destroyed by a cataclysmic earthquake.

Aghios Nikolaos, 9 km from Elounda village, is a lively small town with a harbour where yachts mingle with cruise boats. Connected to the harbour by a canal is the Voulismeni lagoon, a traditional shelter for small fishing vessels surrounded by lively cafes and taverns.

The 13th century Byzantine church of Kera stands at the entrance to the picturesque village of Kritsa, 20 km from Elounda. Its frescoes are considered to be the most beautiful in Crete.

We spent three fabulous nights at the Elounda Mare. We had a ground floor room with patio overlooking the swimming pool and then the sea. The room was comfortable and large and well layed out. Two caveats: the beds in most of Greece are not plush and are usually two twins pushed together, and the room can seem cave like when the shutters are closed for privacy. This hotel has very few Americans and we enjoyed that. The front desk staff was amazing at securing taxis to take us into either Elounda or Agios Nikolas for dinner. The breakfast was huge, delicous and came with a gorgeous view. There is a small beach with water sports however we really enjoyed sitting cliffside. There are lounges and umbrellas spread over the property waterside on the rocks with ladders to enter the sea. It was very private and beautiful. We waterskiied with the water sports desk and rented the sailboat with captain for an excursions around Spinalonga. This was the highlight of our stay!

We have just returned from Elounda Mare in Greece,Crete! We had a real relaxation. This place is perfect for your body,soul and mind. The gorgeous hotel with beautiful garden,amazing seaside (perfect for being alone with your thoughts and emotions), excellent food and its unique hospitality, that impressed me so much! It seemed that it's your second home,where all that paradise was created just only for you! Only the last days I felt myself little bit boring, because this hotel is very very calm, for real relaxation and rest, so one week is more than enough.
