THE HOTEL
The Elounda Gulf Villas and Suites, now one of the Small Luxury Hotels, offers a selection of private villas in two, three and four-bedroom configurations and a few, select suites.  This really is an intimate and exclusive hide-away set amongst beautiful landscapes.

Inside, the accommodation is spacious and elegantly decorated, with little touches such as stairways with automatic floor level lighting, painted trompe l'oeil bathroom ceilings, Jacuzzi tubs and antique furniture all adding to the lavish ambiance.

All guest rooms have marble-lined bathrooms, while the villas have their own private pools with Jacuzzi.

Enjoy in-villa gourmet dining if you prefer not to venture out to the restaurant. 

Each of the ten suites and 18 villas is an architectural masterpiece with its own character and style. Individually designed they boast spacious living areas, bedrooms with panoramic views and marble-lined bathrooms with trompe-l'œil ceilings. Every detail is immaculate, from the stylish dining areas and hand-painted ceilings to top of the range equipment and facilities. Every suite has a secluded, pure white terrace with a dining area and sea views, whilst the villas benefit from private pools with Jacuzzis. The Spa Villas in addition to the private pool offer private gym room, sauna and steam bath.
