Domes of Elounda Autograph Collection

Warm, scented with history, the summer breeze flows in and about the Domed suites and Villas of this iconic Mediterranean sanctuary. This standing legend of Elounda is part of a handful of global hotels that have redefined the standard of luxury accommodation time and time again.

Cosmopolitan explorers, and notable guests alike, have been drawn by the allure of exclusivity into the arms of Domes of Elounda, Crete’s multi-awarded getaway. Emerging from the hillside, this landmark beachfront resort, mother to Domes’ unmistakable culture of innovative hospitality and elegance, affords picture-perfect views, past the vivid turquoise calm waters, of the historic Venetian castle on mythical Spinalonga Isle, spotlighted in Victoria Hislop’s bestselling novel The Island.

Chora at Domes of Elounda

Chora is the newly launched, adults-only (16+) complex within Domes of Elounda. The architecture reinterprets traditional Cretan stone villages with a bold, contemporary edge. The complex offers sea-view luxury suites with private outdoor Jacuzzis or plunge pools, arranged around a dedicated pool area with the closest, most cinematic views of Spinalonga’s Venetian castle. Signature restaurant Antonino’s serves Italian à la carte cuisine by the pool, where mellow music and Aperol spritzes set the tone.
