Elounda Beach Hotel & Villas, Crete’s most exclusive resort: full tour
Join me on full tour of Elounda Beach Hotel & Villas. The first fully-fledged five-star resort in Greece, Elounda Beach Hotel & Villas put the the sleepy fishing village of Elounda in northeast Crete on the map in 1971. Since then half a dozen pretenders have squeezed into Mirabello bay, jostling for a sea-view slot, but Elounda Beach will always have the prime position.

Great review. Crete is an amazing island if you are interested in archaeology. There are numerous sites dotted around the island. My favourites are Phaistos and Malia which are both amazing ruins to explore. Knossos is always swarming with tourists. The Phaistos disk can be seen in the Heraklion musem which is well worth a visit. The Samaria Gorge in the western part of Crete is also an amazing place if you like a good hike, although I would not recommend it for anyone who is not reasonably fit, and I would not attempt it during the months of July and August when it is incredibly hot. I really miss travelling although I am writing off the first half of 2021 as well as the rest of this year. Your reviews however are the next best thing.
Amazingly awesome, such a huge property catering to all the possible needs of affluent guests. Designs, the huge lobby, specially the entire building for spa is unique. A fishing village blessed by huge hospitality for the tourists.
Amazing! So beautiful! Love Greece!
The Elounda Beach hote and resort in Crete, Greece is truly a paradise on earth. The resort is very luxurious and spacious living room with incredible villas over the sea front
The children travelling with you are the luckiest to experience such luxury travel all over the world, thanks for sharing these videos, we all need an escape from this painful reality of 2020!
Que hermosa está esa playa de Grecia. Y el hotel super agradable al igual que el clima. Saludos ??♀️
This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
Fabulous! Nice to see the entire family together again.
Hermoso lugar! Gracias por compartir tanta belleza alrededor del mundo!!
I lived in Agia Pelagia for a year. I love Crete. I’ve only been to Agia Nicholas on the west side of the Island. Elounda Beach looks great! That hotel looks out of my price range. But it’s nice to experience it and others through your videos. Thanks! Oh by the way, did you sample the local “raki”? The people in Crete are proud of their homemade alcohol. They have barrels of it out for sample in the streets of Heraklion and Agia Pelagia!
the moments when you stop the music and we can hear the waves and the actual sounds make the watcher experience ever more real!
Mesmerising experience
Once again you have left me speechless. What a wonderful “ULTRA LUX” vacation that you enjoyed. And, its family friendly too. Your villa had that “HIGH END LUXURY” feel and I loved the ocean views. Thanks for taking your viewers along for this Phenomenal vacation.
Stayed at this hotel on my honeymoon a few years back …it did not disappoint ! Timeless elegance and quality and oh so romantic ! It’s all in the details which you can’t capture unless you are there 🙂
See I knew Heraklion had to be on that list of yours. And Olivia and Viktor got to tag along. (read: Very jealous) I loved the surf float sequence. And i had to laugh out loud when they wiped out ! it looked like so much fun ! I love Greek history, thank you for sharing that with us. Reminds me of the scene over at AmanZoe. I picture togas, in dark burgundy, blue and white. hair all done up with gold pins, nymphs playing lyres by the fire pit at sunset no less, and OH, a LOT of wine …
This is amazingly beautiful. In fact my neighbor conceived when she was in Crete and named the baby girl after the name of this beautiful place.
Your videos always put a smile on my face! Absolutely stunning from beginning to end!!??
The sea is so blue and clear and not a cloud in the sky. Heaven!!
Magnificent! I feel as though I’ve been to Crete, thank you.
I love this hotel. Can remember when they added the bar on the small peninsula. It’s 15 years ago or even longer. It hasn’t lost any of its charme.
Always a great stay.
