Renowned for its genuine warmth and friendliness, the elounda mare proudly upholds a tradition spanning twenty years of excellence in courtesy and cuisine. Honoured in 1988 as the first member in Greece of the prestigious Relais & Châteaux® association, the elounda mare hotel exudes the refined qualities that characterise such distinctive properties. Built as a Cretan mansion, the hotel is a jewel of traditional architecture and design, with gems of antique furniture and artwork adorning the halls and accommodations.
Ideal for families is the Minoan Palace, a new unique four-bedroom beachfront villa ideal for families, with a 76 sqm master bedroom and three additional spacious bedrooms all with en-suite bathrooms and walk-in wardrobes. The living and dining area open out onto the veranda, offering a real al-fresco feeling. An elevator connects the two upper-floor bedrooms and work-out room with the ground floor.
Additionally there is a small pantry available for the chef to prepare a-la-carte meals for the guests or a barbecue in the private patio of the villa.
