Overview

At Domes Aulus Elounda, Curio Collection by Hilton, it’s the views that leave the lasting impression. Set on a steep hillside overlooking the Mirabello Bay, this adult-only retreat promises sweeping views across the sea. Peaceful and elevated, the UNESCO-listed islet of Spinalonga is your constant backdrop.

The resort is perched on the hillside above the Mirabello Gulf, 50 metres across a quiet road from the secluded natural pebble beach. Gardens planted with local herbs run through the hotel and connect the rooms with the main building. The traditional town of Elounda is less than a mile away and it's 45 miles from Heraklion Airport.

Built into a steep hillside, the hotel almost merges with the natural landscape. Although a golf bus service does offers transfers up and down the hill, you can expect lots of steps on the way to access rooms and facilities. From your room you'll enjoy garden or sea views, depending on whether you choose a Tropical or Sapphire room – opt for one with a sharing pool for more bliss. You'll find a welcome treat in every room, too, offering an authentic taste of Greece.

Here, you’ll find more sun beds, and a spot where relaxed comfort meets carefully curated design. Expect soft, shaded corners, chilled music, light bites and cocktails. The Ammos Beach Canteen is your go-to for self-serve style snacks and refreshing beverages for an additional charge.

Award-winning Soma Spa, 'The Blissful', offers a combination of revitalising treatments, designed to recalibrate you. Therapies here combine the rituals of the ancient Greeks with anti-ageing skincare products from Elemis.
