Elounda Mare Hotel

A Relais & Châteaux property on the Isle of the Gods

On the birthplace of Zeus, the Elounda Mare hotel and its whitewashed bungalows elegantly overlook the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mirabello in Crete. The sister property, Porto Elounda, offers a more affordable alternative for families wishing to leave their children in a kids" club. A peaceful atmosphere pervades this delightful Relais & Châteaux and its maze of gardens filled with intoxicating fragrances. The spacious and intimate rooms, the bungalows—all different, each with its own private pool—and a handful of exceptional suites enjoy a magnificent panorama of the Mediterranean. The private beach, tennis courts, treatments at the Six Senses spa and the sumptuous golf course, all within five hundred metres, will shape your days. This refined address is also a remarkable starting point for exploring Crete and discovering its myths, monasteries, chapels, creeks and intimate small villages. Gastronomically speaking, the choice is varied, and you will not be able to resist "The Old Mill" restaurant; honoured with the Toque d'Or for over 15 years, the Greek Cuisine Awards and the Top Notch Awards 2022, this restaurant will whip up top-flight Cretan cuisine for you.

ETHICS

Elounda Mare regularly organises clean-up campaigns in the surrounding countryside: hotel staff, along with some locals and schoolchildren, team up to clear litter from roads, beaches, salt marshes and other wetlands frequented by many migratory birds... In this way, the hotel actively contributes to preserving the island's ecosystems and their precious biodiversity. Guests are invited to take part in these campaigns if they wish.
