Set on a hillside in Elounda, it is not difficult to see why the magnificent Elounda Gulf Villas & Suites is a consistent award-winner.
Eighteen luxurious whitewashed villas housing kitchens, private pools and Jacuzzis, and ten one or two bedroom Deluxe Suites close to the main swimming pool, offer fantastic accommodation for couples, families and small groups of friends looking to combine the advantages of villa-living with the facilities and service of a five-star hotel. At the top of the luxury accommodation scale is the Royal Spa Villa, a lavish retreat with four bedrooms, superb kitchen, sauna and steam bath, gym and fabulous curved infinity pool with two Jacuzzis. Children are welcomed but the seclusion of each villa means that they can enjoy themselves on the huge terraces without disturbing other guests.
There is a terrific restaurant and bar, and 24 hour room service. Alternatively, butlers and chefs can be organised to do anything from shopping to whipping up a four-course dinner. Service wise, nothing is too much trouble for the staff here.
As if that wasn't enough, all guests here have complimentary access to the Elixir Spa Gallery which has a gym, sauna, steam bath, outdoor heated Jacuzzi and massage room. Just fabulous.
