The glamorous luxury residences at Domes of Elounda are the icing on the cake at this all-suite and villa beach resort; Domes of Elounda, Autograph collection, offers everything on the average, sophisticated parent's wish list. It offers stylish interiors, stunning views, a luxury spa, well respected dining and an exceptionally family-friendly approach. The well-run creche and kids club, teen games room, handy baby supply of baby gear and a choice of baby-sitting or in-room dining help have all been designed to ensure parents have a truly relaxing and enjoyable family holiday.
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 suite 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 (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!
This sophisticated cluster of 20 super-stylish and very glamorous 'luxury residences' come in 2, 3 or 4-bedroom formations, each with private heated pools and a dedicated concierge. They boast exclusive access to a communal pool area with separate kids pool, a restaurant, bar and mini market/deli only for luxury residence guests, as well as use of all the resorts communal facilities including a choice of restaurants, bars, spa, communal pools, kids club and creche.

The three bedroom residences offer spacious accommodation with their own large swimming pool (with whirlpool and waterfall). The poolside decks have sun loungers whilst the verandahs boast both dining and lounging zones with a pergola-shaded dining table and four outdoor sofas. Inside, the accommodation is single storey (ideal with little ones) and boasts two large master suites with super-king double beds topped by 'Coco-Mat' matress, 40" TVs, sumptuous marble bathrooms with free-standing tubs and rainfall showers (over), and patio doors leading to a lounging terrace. The third bedroom offers twin/super king double beds (convertible), the same TV and marble bathrooms.

The residences come with air conditioning, twice-daily maid service, free use of tennis courts and beach sunbeds and complimentary Wi-Fi.

Please note: as illustrated by the floor plan shown in the photo gallery on this page, 3-bed luxury residences are actually adjoining 2-bed residences but with the living area internal wall and end part of pool wall removed when in 3 or 4-bedroom configuration. Also, second kitchen is removed so that the room becomes a stand-alone dining room, and the lounge is therefore more spacious with additional sofa seating.

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.
Nearest Airport: Heraklion (approx 60mins transfer time) Flight from UK approx 3.5hrs

James DamaaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They provided a great service helping us select a family holiday which ended up being amazing! Will use again! Colette SintonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were lucky enough to have Vicki's expertise and support in finding our family holiday in Zakynthos this summer. After finding out exactly what we hoped for and needed, Vicki was able to find our perfect holiday - we were so looking forward to it and couldn't have been more delighted. Vicki's communication was informative and proactive throughout - our happiness with the arrangements was of the utmost importance to her and I felt I could get in touch with any queries. These were addressed swiftly and efficiently. I really felt like she went the extra mile in helping us plan our holiday and ensuring we were comfortable with all aspects. Highly recommend!! MAGGIE OAKLANDTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used baby friendly bolt holes to book a trip to Portugal. Tori was really helpful in helping us book, manage transfers, etc. On our departure day we had unexpected passport issues - Tori was straight on to the hotel and arranged for us to stay a couple of days later than planned. She was brilliant and really diffused the stress of a heart sink situation. Would definitely book with these guys again. Hannah RoseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Since our daughter was born 2.5 years ago, we have booked every single trip away with BFB. We have never been disappointed, and I have pretty high expectations when it comes to holidays! They respond so quickly to every query and have got us some great deals. I trust them fully with what are such crucial decisions about our much needed holidays and recommend them to every parent I know! I would be lost without them! Tom DavisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The matching service was really useful Chris ReddingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I submitted some basic details on their form on a Sunday evening and Tori got back to me the next day. We exchanged several emails and spoke on the phone. Tori was well informed, responsive and thorough. I was able to book a place that looks great with her help. It was great to have help from someone who specialises in family holidays, as our requirements are pretty different now compared to before having kids. I don't actually think I've ever had a personal service to help book a holiday before. Maybe this is what it was like when people used to go to the travel agent on the high street... Thanks Tori and BFB, would recommend and use again. Jessica TaylorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found Baby Friendly Boltholes by doing a Google search, and completed their online form with my holiday requirements. They got back to me very quickly with some great recommendations which were also very cost effective. Unfortunately due to a change in circumstances we're unable to book at this time, but I will definitely go back to Baby Friendly Boltholes when we're in a position to move forward with our booking. Thanks! Joel DaltonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really fast and easy, available on a Sunday to complete our booking. Highly recommended Samantha ClarkeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend Juliet at babyboltholes enough, from our initial enquiry right through to booking, she was responsive, understanding and patient. I didn’t even know where to start booking our first family holiday, Juliet took onboard all our needs and found us our dream trip. 5 star service for busy parents! Kirsty SpellmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great to deal with, very responsive and able to find us a suitable option at the last minute.
