Porto Elounda Golf & Spa Resort - Crete

Overview

Other facilities

With wellness and fitness at the heart of the offering, it’s no surprise to find an exceptional Six Senses Spa on site. This high-end facility covers an area of 2,200 m2, providing an outstanding range of body scrubs, facials, holistic massages and Ayurvedic aromatherapy practices. Acupuncture, meditation and podiatry are also on the spa menu, as are beauty and kids’ treatments. The spa is home to two stunning indoor and outdoor thalassotherapy pools with hydrotherapy areas, a Roman stream bath and caldarium, and two saunas. Furthermore, you can practise yoga and Pilates or visit the state-of-the-art fitness centre, kitted out with first-class Technogym equipment.

The gently curved complex of pools are equally sensational, taking up residence along the seafront. They span 420 m2 and feature submerged loungers, a hydromassage area and plenty of sumptuous sunbeds with tiki parasols. There’s also a separate 80 m2 kids’ pool with shallow waters and a safe, inclined entrance. The resort sits beside a picture-perfect, crescent-shaped Blue Flag sandy beach, where you can spend a lazy day on a lounger or get involved in the water sports on offer at Sea Sports & Scuba Diving centre, including windsurfing, canoeing and wakeboarding.

Families will love the Kids’ Ark, which offers creche facilities for little ones from four months to four years old, activities for five- to 12-year-olds, as well as a teenager games room. A family entertainment venue features virtual reality games and an escape room. Baby sitting services are available (for a extra charge), plus parents can relax on arrival, knowing baby supplies requested in advance will be delivered to your room – as part of the Babies Travel Light programme.

Otherwise, stop by the prestigious Valencia CF Soccer School Camp to experience top-tier football training or get involved in tennis, padel tennis and pickleball at the Lux Tennis, conducted by professional coaches with ATP/WTA training. The resort is also home to a glorious on-site 9-hole, par-3 golf course, perfect for beginners and seasoned professionals.

In addition, shop for a gift at the hotel’s boutique or charter a private yacht around the crystal-clear waters of Mirabello Bay. You can also jump on the complimentary shuttle service to neighbouring sister hotels, Elounda Mare Hotel, Relais & Châteaux and Elounda Peninsula Luxury Resort.
