“An ultra-luxurious haven combining the best of villa and hotel facilities, with over half the villas having private infinity pools. Elegant, with a private beach, fine dining restaurants and an award-winning spa. Coastal perfection.”

Hotel Review
When you wake up in one of the Blue Palace’s 251 bungalows, suites or private villas, you want to pinch yourself to make sure you’re not dreaming. More than 140 have private infinity pools, and all of them reek of contemporary elegance, with white linen and blonde wood complementing traditional Cretan colours. Quietly elegant arcades form the public areas, which include four restaurants – table d’hôte Olea, modern Cretan/ Mediterranean Orangerie, Italian-style Isola by the main pool and, on the beach, the Blue Palace’s own taverna. Wonderful award winning Elounda Spa & Thalassotherapy and private beach. Real VIPs chopper in direct from the airport to the hotel’s helipad.
