Domes of Elounda – Core 2-Bedroom Residence with Pool

Elounda, Crete, Greece

Property Overview

0.0 (0 reviews )
The cool and contemporary Core Collection residences and suites at Domes of Elounda are the icing on the cake at this exceptional family-friendly beach resort in Crete. Domes of Elounda Autograph Collection is a firm favourite with the BFB team, as it offers everything on the average, sophisticated parent's wish list including stylish interiors, excellent dining options, a private beach, luxury spa and a genuine child-friendly approach. The staff truly understand the needs of parents and have thought of everything to ensure a relaxed and enjoyable family holiday. There's a handy list of onsite baby gear to choose from, in-room dining options for quiet nights in and an excellent kids club, creche and babysitting service.
As you'd expect, this level of attention to detail and five-star facilities rarely comes cheap but thankfully there's a range of accommodation options to suit various budgets from spacious suites to luxury villas with private pools. Whichever type of accommodation is chosen, all feel exceptionally luxurious with Coco-mat mattresses, pillow menus, sophisticated toiletries, luxury bathrooms, and private hot tubs or pools as standard. Each suite also benefits from individually designed interiors with a cool, contemporary finish. The villas and residences come with self-catering facilities (particularly handy for parents!) and private swimming pools which can be fenced on request.


The hotel's staff are exceptionally warm and friendly. They can frequently be seen zipping along in golf buggies, otherwise known as ‘club cars’, transporting guests the short but sometimes steep distance from their suites/villas to the hotel's stretch of sandy beach, pools, and restaurants. The British-run creche and kids club is well equipped, carefully maintained, and well-staffed by trained carers who fast become favourites with mini guests. This allows parents some guilt-free time to lounge on a cushioned sunbed by the sea, read a book, indulge in a romantic dinner or a couples massage. A rare treat for parents with tots in tow!

Added recently, the new 'Core' area of the resort is a great addition for families. Guests can browse the collection of chic boutiques, indulge in local street food, relax with a laid back drink come nightfall and unwind as little ones explore the hands-on art exhibitions or play with the kids club crew who are often on hand to provide fun-filled activities for mini guests. The Core hosts a range of seasonal weekly events, from open-air cinema showings to yoga sessions and varying street food nights. It's a fantastic new addition to this already impressive family beach resort.

Location Information

The Domes of Elounda nestles on a hillside with spectacular views over the bay of Elounda and the pretty island of Spinalonga. A 10-minute stroll to the left of the resort brings guests to the charming fishing village of Plaka with its string of well-respected fish restaurants, traditional tavernas and elegant craft shops, whilst a right turn and a 15-minute walk will take guests to the harbour resort of Elounda with its many restaurants shops and bars. The road to both locations does not have pavements, so guests often feel more secure using taxis, which can be arranged via the concierge.

A short drive (5-10mins) away is the larger town of Aghia Nikoloas, with its inland lake surround by bistros and, a little further afield is the "Aqua Splash" waterpark. The mysterious, uninhabited island of Spingalonga, the subject of the recent Victoria Hislop bestseller 'The Island', is just across the bay, and boat trips depart regularly from the hotel's pier.

Other sites of interest within an hour's drive include the magnificent ruins of the Minoan city and palace of Knossos, which are breathtakingly well preserved and considered to be the second most important historic site in Greece, after the Parthenon in Athens.
