The combination of stunning modern architecture, fabled Cretan hospitality, a beautiful beachside location and an amazing spa all earn the Blue Palace, a member of the elite Starwood Hotels Luxury Collection, its well-deserved reputation as one of Crete’s most prestigious hotels.
Although only minutes from Elounda, the Blue Palace has a secluded and peaceful setting within a nature reserve surrounded by mountains and a private beach.
Housed in designer bungalows, a variety of luxury rooms, suites and villas are tucked into the hillside facing the sea and the deserted island of Spinalonga. Most have infinity pools and all are superbly furnished with a modern decor, king-size beds, marble bathrooms and spacious balconies or terraces with glorious views of the bay. The large two room suites have a separate dining terrace by their own pool. The glamour stakes are raised in the enormous Royal Blue Villa which includes three lavish bedrooms with Jacuzzi bathrooms, outdoor heated swimming pool and a secluded garden for complete privacy.
Scattered throughout the resort are five restaurants serving a variety of cuisine; from the tiny waterfront Blue Door for fresh fish, Greek salads and traditional taverna fare to the stylish award-winning L’Orangerie for gourmet Mediterranean cooking, Asia Blue for fusion cuisine and sushi as well as the fantastic Italian Isola.
For the diet conscious, the chef will prepare delicious healthy dishes while for those who wish to indulge, there is always the option of resisting the panoramic lift that links the hotel to the beach and burning off the delicious food on foot.
Other activities include indoor and outdoor pools, floodlit tennis courts, a gym and a host of water sports including canoeing, water-skiing, wake-boarding, windsurfing, diving and sailing. To relax there is an exceptional thalassotheraphy spa, where guests can indulge in varying massage techniques and a selection of organic or natural ingredients by the leading French company Cinq Monde.
With an excellent concierge service that includes a wedding department and also a kids club and playground, Blue Palace literally caters for guests of all ages.
