THE GEOMETRY OF CALM

  • 158 Suites & Villas
  • 5 Restaurants & 4 Bars
  • Private Beach & Pools
  • Haute Living Privileges

There’s a certain quiet light in Elounda — golden against stone, soft across water, silver at dusk. Domes of Elounda rises from olive-green hillsides in cascading terraces of sand-colored stone and domed roofs that echo Crete’s Byzantine rhythm. Interiors balance ivory plaster with timber, linen textures, and cobalt accents drawn from the sea itself.

 

It feels crafted, not constructed: design as emotion, architecture as ease. You’ll wake to the scent of salt and thyme, walk barefoot through private gardens, float in a pool that reflects both mountain and horizon.

 

Behind the aesthetics lies orchestration. Airport transfers glide seamlessly into villa arrivals, restaurant reservations align to your appetite and time of day, and every local encounter — from olive harvest to private boat charter — is layered into your stay.

 

For the traveler, it’s luxury redefined; for the partner, it’s precision delivered through Travel Design that curates the stay around the soul of Crete.

BEACH & POOLS

Snami Travel

Domes of Elounda’s private beach is a natural theatre: ivory sand, mirrored water, and Spinalonga floating opposite like a sentinel of calm. Loungers form perfect geometry beneath olive branches; discreet staff drift by with chilled carafes and fresh fruit.

Five pools terrace the hillside, each its own chapter — the family pool alive with laughter, the adults-only pool a canvas of silence. By day it’s light and reflection; by dusk it’s candle and shadow. This is where stillness wears color.

Restaurants & Bars

  • Thólos

    The resort’s architectural heart. Mediterranean flavors beneath its namesake dome; morning buffets, à la carte dinners, and themed Greek evenings.

  • Makris Fine Dining

    Contemporary Greek tasting menus and curated wines; open-kitchen theatre with a horizon view.

  • Blend Steak & Wine

    Poolside refinement; premium cuts, curated cellar, and understated luxury.

WELLNESS IMMERSION

“Restored by Sea & Stone”

Soma Spa harnesses the crisp sea air, olive-leaf scent and Cretan botanicals to create treatments that resonate. In-suite rituals at dusk, private yoga at dawn, hydrotherapy in the salt-water pool—this is wellness layered into your stay, not an add-on.

CELEBRATION & WEDDINGS

“When Two Lives Choose One View”

A terrace that faces Spinalonga, a private villa dinner beneath olive branches, candles on the pool’s edge—this is where the memory is designed. Honeymoon, renewal, milestone celebration: every moment given shape, light and emotion.

Facilities

CULINARY JOURNEYS – “Taste as Narrative”

Through our travel design we arrange progressive dining across the resort: breakfast in Thólos, lunch by the sea at Vilebrequin La Plage, private tasting at Makris. Each meal becomes a chapter in your Crete experience — curated, never repeated.

Family & Lifestyle

Domes of Elounda was built around togetherness. The Montessori-inspired Terra Kids Camp, teen studios, and shaded family pools create gentle autonomy for every generation. Parents unwind knowing that every activity — creative, cultural, or playful — is safely curated within reach. It’s family design, not family logistics.

Haute Living Privileges & Concierge

Inside the Haute Living world, service becomes orchestration. The Villa Manager, the on-site Concierge, and our Lifestyle Designers operate as one circle — aligning your in-resort privileges with experiences beyond the resort. Dinner reservations, private drivers, yacht charters, or event planning are coordinated in advance so that you never “request”; you simply experience. The result is a living network between Elounda’s domes and the island’s heartbeat.

Curated Explorations & Seamless Journeys

These are the facilities that move. A dedicated fleet of chauffeured vehicles, private boats moored at the resort pier, and discreet logistics support that make transitions invisible. Whether it’s a drive to a nearby vineyard, a short cruise to Spinalonga, or an art visit in Agios Nikolaos, our team blends infrastructure with intuition. Every journey begins and ends in comfort — timing, route, and return designed around you.

Architecture & Design Walks

Domes of Elounda is itself a living gallery. Terraced domes echo the island’s Byzantine lines; interiors breathe in the palette of sand and sea. Guests can join our short “Design Walks” — a 30-minute route through the resort guided by our in-house curator, revealing how light, geometry, and material craft emotion. It’s a facility that turns observation into appreciation — the resort seen through the eye of a designer.

Location

Tsifliki Village, Elounda – Lasithi Prefecture, Crete
Just ten minutes from Elounda’s harbor and fifteen from Agios Nikolaos, the resort feels both secluded and connected. The drive curves through groves of carob and oleander before opening onto the private cove that frames the property.

Location

Between the olive-draped hills of Elounda and the blue expanse of Mirabello Bay lies Domes of Elounda — a resort balanced between land and horizon. The fortress-islet of Spinalonga faces you like an ancient guardian; Agios Nikolaos glimmers nearby with its lakeside cafés and ateliers. The setting embodies the same spirit as the resort: refined, real, and rhythmically calm.

Distances

• Heraklion Airport (HER) – ≈ 70 km / 60 min drive
• Agios Nikolaos – ≈ 10 km / 15 min drive
• Plaka Pier (for Spinalonga Island) – ≈ 10 min boat crossing

Sightseeing

Around Domes of Elounda, Crete becomes a collection of curated chapters. One morning you sail quietly around Spinalonga’s Venetian walls; another, you wander a mountain village where artisans still carve olive wood by hand. Through our Travel Design network, each outing is privately arranged and emotionally attuned — cultural immersion with the tempo of leisure. Return at dusk to your villa, where the day’s impressions dissolve back into the calm geometry of the resort.
