Domes of Elounda, Elounda

The Destination
Elounda is a destination that continues to be the secret holiday hideout of the most elite members of the jet set crowd since the 1970’s. It is surrounded by mountains in a secluded bay of crystal waters on the island of Crete and was originally chosen by Greek Hoteliers as the most blessed spot in Greece. Elounda has the most stunning views and desirable climate in the country with 7 months a year of perfect temperatures, summer breezes and sunshine…guaranteed! Elounda is considered the Mecca of Greek Luxury Tourism!

Part of the Elounda myth, is the Venetian Castle on the Island of Spinalonga, the setting for Victoria Hislop’s bestselling novel “The Island”. Domes of Elounda is set on the most privileged hill, isolated from the other resorts and with the closest breathtaking views of the Venetian castle and the sea. Spinalonga is part of our new design inviting the senses to feast on sights, scents and tastes from the rich outdoors through large windows, and spacious verandas.

Spa
A hideaway in the heart of a land and culture that discovered the necessity of spa, and set the standard for modern spa procedures over 3000 years ago, our Spa is truly the secret of Domes of Elounda. A black mosaic seawater pool, surrounded by large tinted glass panels welcomes guest in the spa. White Filifili lighting fixtures by Martinelli float above while objects and furniture by Moroso, Serralunga, and Bonaldo epitomize our new luxury.

The areas of treatment, sauna and hamam, achieve isolation, relaxation and create a Zen environment. Organic shapes and curvilinear surfaces are covered by ceramic mosaic in dark metallic tones abolishing any sense of boundary. As one lies in the candle lit black and gold glimmering hamam everything falls into place. Combined with soothing music, one looses touch with the outside world achieving a spiritual sensation that cannot be put into words. Milfey spa restores what has been lost, delivers absolute peace and offers completeness.
