Porto Elounda Golf & Spa Resort
Elounda, Greece
Overview
Porto Elounda Golf & Spa has a stunning location on Crete’s north-east coast, overlooking the sapphire waters of Mirabello Bay and with its own sandy Blue Flag beach just footsteps away. You’re well-placed for exploring here. It’s a short drive from both the charming village of Elounda and the lively town of Agios Nikolaos.
The resort’s architecture and landscaping reflect the island, with sunny, palm-peppered terraces, surrounding olive groves and sea views. The resort’s award-winning Six Senses Spa, one of the largest in Europe, blends holistic treatments with thermal experiences including hammams, saunas and an indoor-outdoor hydrotherapy pool.
Beyond wellness, guests can enjoy Crete’s only private nine-hole golf course, multiple outdoor pools, tennis and watersports, plus family friendly activities. Dining, meanwhile, spans Greek, Italian and international cuisine, served against the backdrop of the glittering bay.
Porto Elounda welcomes guests of all ages. Little ones can enjoy the creche, staffed by professional nannies, while children aged five to 12 can take advantage of waterslides and supervised activities at Kid’s Ark. Teenagers also have tailored activities.
