Overview

Aligned with Hilton's Curio Collection and forming part of the wider adult-only resort, Aulus Elounda Cool Living, by Domes Resorts, offers a more exclusive stay. Enjoy access to the private rooftop terrace with an exclusive restaurant and two rooftop pools, rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows, and a special evening outing just for Cool Living Selection guests. Panoramic views over Mirabello Bay steal the show, with the UNESCO-listed islet of Spinalonga as your backdrop. This section offers additional perks and access to the all-inclusive offering, including dining across multiple eateries and food trucks.

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. You'll enjoy mystical sea views, which offer uninterrupted views of Spinalonga. You'll find a welcome treat in every room, too, offering an authentic taste of Greece. Opt for one with an outdoor Jacuzzi, sharing pool or your very own private pool. Aulus Elounda's exclusive 'hotel within a hotel' concept elevates the experience for guests choosing the Cool Living Selection Suites. This haven of comfort offers a range of benefits and perks, from a fully stocked minibar (replenished daily at no extra charge) to an enchanting evening ‘night-out’ in the nearby town of Agios Nikolaos. As a Cool Living Selection guest, enjoy exclusive access to the serene VIP Greco Levante area, boasting its own gourmet restaurant, chic bar and tranquil pools.

Other facilities

The hotel's freshwater pool offers a serene setting for swimming or simply taking in the uninterrupted views of Spinalonga. The pool's pale interior and stone-style finish give this oasis a crisp, contemporary feel. Around the water's edge, plush loungers invite you to relax. You'll also find handy outdoor showers close by, too.

Head down to Kooreloo Beach for a private shingled stretch, spanning 70-metres. The water here is crystal clear, shallow and mostly calm. 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. On land, you can take advantage of the stunning backdrop to enjoy the yoga and Pilates classes which are held daily.

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. You can also access the wellness centre and make use of the saunа, Jacuzzi, indoor heated pool and fully-equipped gym.

Dining information

The Island is the resort’s main restaurant, offering a multicultural breakfast, lunch and dinner buffet, including Cretan and Mediterranean dishes. The panoramic views across to the islet of Spinalonga provide a spectacular dining backdrop. For a change of scene, Meze offers Greek tapas, seafood and meze, all inspired by Greek cuisine's deep-rooted heritage and fused with innovative flair, and served in a family-style tavern. Come sundown, the resort's evening offerings come alive. At the open-air Amphiteatro, Tesoro Mio delights with its rendition of Italian classics, while PITA Canteen offers a traditional array of wraps, gyros and souvlaki. Visit the Yellow Sea restaurant for a taste of Asian cuisine and sushi.

Four bars include the Blu Bar, the relaxed lobby bar, the Amphiteatro’s Spiritzeria, serving creative cocktails with sea views, and the Ammos Beach Canteen, located on the sand, offering snacks and refreshments. The Greco Levante Bar is open exclusively to Cool Living Selection guests and promises a paradise of craft cocktails, lively tunes, and scenic sea views.

As a Cool Living Selection guest, you'll have access to the Greco Levante restaurant, where you can enjoy an exclusive breakfast experience, a grab and go lunch buffet, snacks and premium drinks. In the evenings, savour Mediterranean cuisine with grilled specialties and thematic set menus. Themed nights here allow you to savour a range of flavours, from traditional Greek to the finest seafood and bold Asian essences, and dine against the backdrop of enchanting sea views.
