Discover Luxury in Crete
Rising gently from a hillside above a private sandy beach, Domes of Elounda artfully blends the intimacy of a boutique retreat with the sweeping scale and amenities of a luxury resort. With panoramic views across the turquoise waters toward the Venetian fortress on Spinalonga Island, the setting is as timeless as it is romantic. Thoughtfully designed domed architecture, modern Cretan aesthetics, and lush olive groves frame this 5-star escape where sophistication meets relaxed family life.
This is a resort for every kind of traveller: families, couples, and wellness seekers. There’s a dedicated eco-garden kids club, separate pools for adults and children, and a spa sanctuary called Soma Spa “The Refined”.
At night, the CORE open-air agora becomes the social heart: an airy, ancient-Greek–meets-modern hub for pop-up food, shopping, art, and events.
The accommodations at Domes of Elounda offer luxurious suites, residences and villas with domed ceilings, private pools or Jacuzzis, and stunning views of the Mediterranean. Interiors blend modern elegance with Cretan charm, while options for families and adults-only guests ensure a relaxing, tailored stay.
Within the resort’s luxurious suite collection, there are married-style options tailored both to couples and families. The Core Open Plan Suite offers a minimalist, open-plan layout with a king-size bed, plus a private terrace or balcony, often paired with an outdoor heated Jacuzzi. Moving up, the Premium One-Bedroom Suite comes in two main variants: one with an outdoor heated Jacuzzi, and another with a private pool. Both versions have a separate living area (with a sofa bed), a bedroom with a king bed, and a bathroom with both a bathtub and a walk-in shower. The 85 m² space delivers comfort, elegant proportions, and either garden or sea views.
On the family side, there are Family Suites, again in a couple of configurations: there’s a version with an outdoor Jacuzzi, and one with a private pool (or private water feature). These suites are typically around 90 m², and feature a king bed plus sofa bed(s) to accommodate children comfortably, along with modern bathrooms.
There’s also a Luxury 2-Bedroom Family Suite, designed for larger families: it offers two separate bedrooms, a living room (with sofa bed), and generous outdoor space. These suites range between 100 and 120 m², giving plenty of room for everyone.
In the Haute Living Residences, Domes of Elounda provides a more independent but equally luxurious stay. The Core One-Bedroom Residence is about 90 m², with a twin bedroom, a living room with a double or two single sofa beds, and its own private pool.
There is also a Core Two-Bedroom Residence of 148 m², which includes two bedrooms (one king, one twin), a living room, and two bathrooms, alongside a private pool and an outdoor Jacuzzi. Venturing into sea-facing elegance, the Luxury Two-Bedroom Residence (around 200 m²) has a king bedroom, a twin bedroom, a fully equipped kitchen, living and dining areas, and two en-suite bathrooms, all opening onto a terrace with a private pool.
Larger group options include a Luxury Three-Bedroom Residence (approx. 250 m²) and even a Luxury Four-Bedroom Residence(around 400 m²), each offering several bedrooms, multiple bathrooms, huge terraces, private pools, and the full suite of Haute Living services (private check-in, dedicated concierge, and exclusive access areas).
When it comes to Villas, the resort’s most private and expansive accommodation is embodied in the Haute Living Villas.
There is a Luxury Two-Bedroom Villa, measuring approximately 220–250 m², which features two bedrooms (one king, one twin), a decorative fireplace in the living room, a fully equipped kitchen, two full marble bathrooms plus a WC, and a large eco-heated private pool with a waterfall — all with panoramic sea views.
For even more space, the Luxury Three-Bedroom Villa stretches to around 450 m² and can host up to seven guests; this villa boasts three bedrooms, in-villa spa, a secluded garden, a private pool and all the exclusive Haute Living amenities for a totally immersive and ultra-private retreat.

Experiences
Wellness is at the heart of Domes of Elounda’s appeal, beginning with the Soma Spa “The Refined”, a sanctuary of calm where treatments blend ancient Minoan traditions with modern techniques such as microcurrent muscle stimulation and light therapy. Highly trained therapists use luxury products from ELEMIS and Codage Paris to deliver bespoke massages, facials, and holistic rituals in graceful, light-filled treatment rooms. Guests can also choose in-room or in-villa treatments for a completely private, personalized spa experience.
The resort’s wellness philosophy extends beyond the spa into movement and exercise. An open-air fitness pavilion, equipped with Technogym machines, allows guests to work out under the sky. Group and private sessions, including reformer Pilates, sunrise yoga, and one-to-one training, balance strength and flexibility with mindfulness, promoting both physical fitness and inner serenity.
Domes of Elounda incorporates nature and adventure into its wellness offerings. Guests can enjoy a wide range of water sports, including canoeing, sailing, and paddleboarding, or explore the surrounding landscapes through mountain biking, trekking along local paths, zip-lining, and tennis. These activities combine physical challenge with the restorative power of the Mediterranean outdoors, ensuring a holistic approach to wellbeing.
