Domes of Elounda – Autograph Collection

Domes of Elounda – Autograph Collection

A luxury haven with fabulous views over the mysterious Spinalonga Island

Located between the small fishing village of Plaka and the renowned resort of Elounda, Domes of Elounda, Autograph Collection is a spectacular sanctuary of serenity and refinement. Perched at the entrance of Mirabello Bay, the resort commands unrivalled views of the UNESCO-protected islet of Spinalonga, a backdrop steeped in history and intrigue.

This luxury retreat comprises 118 suites and villas, cascading amphitheatrically through lush bougainvillea and hibiscus gardens, leading down to a private, natural sandy beach—a secluded slice of paradise within its own mini-ecosystem. With a range of elegant accommodations, from family-friendly suites to ultra-private villas with their own pools, Domes of Elounda is equally suited to couples and families alike. Many suites feature heated outdoor Jacuzzis or infinity pools, while interiors blend sumptuous Ottoman-inspired bathrooms with modern indulgences such as whirlpool baths and rain showers. A renovation in 2020 saw a sophisticated redesign of the Domes Suites, lobby, Grand Domes Bar, and Tholos restaurant, aligning them with the contemporary elegance of the Domes Residences.

New for 2025, Domes of Elounda unveils Vilebrequin Plage—a stylish reimagining of its private beach in partnership with the iconic Saint-Tropez brand, Vilebrequin. Embracing a laid-back yet luxurious Côte d’Azur aesthetic, the beach will feature signature sunbeds, chic pastel parasols, and bespoke design touches. Meanwhile, Akti 1910 transforms into the Vilebrequin Restaurant, pairing elevated Mediterranean cuisine with a curated soundtrack in a setting that seamlessly fuses Greek island charm with Riviera sophistication.

Further enhancing its commitment to wellness, Domes of Elounda introduces Reformer Pilates in the Botanical Garden, an exclusive new concept for 2025. Nestled among fragrant flora, this open-air fitness space features eight state-of-the-art reformer beds, allowing guests to engage in revitalising workouts immersed in nature. Designed to harmonise movement, mindfulness, and tranquillity, it offers a refreshing way to recalibrate both body and mind against a serene Mediterranean backdrop.

For complete relaxation, the resort’s award-winning spa offers holistic treatments inspired by ancient Greek rituals, complemented by a state-of-the-art fitness centre and open-air yoga pavilion. The dedicated kids’ club and creche ensure younger guests are well looked after, while adult-only areas provide tranquil retreats for those seeking uninterrupted relaxation.

For guests staying in the Domes Private Residences, Domes Luxury Residences, and Domes Luxury Villas, the Haute Living Room offers a private club-level experience with exclusive privileges.

As evening falls, live classical music drifts through the main restaurant, while the Grand Domes Bar invites guests to savour handcrafted cocktails as the sun sets over Spinalonga. Culinary delights abound—from seafood feasts at the waterfront Topos 1910 to the refined steak experience at Blend. Meanwhile, The Core, a vibrant hub of pop-up boutiques, gourmet food carts, and cultural experiences, ensures entertainment is always within easy reach.

With impeccable service, world-class facilities, and an ever-evolving sense of luxury, Domes of Elounda continues to set the benchmark for sophisticated island living.

The stunning sister hotel, Domes Noruz Chania (adult only) on the West coast of the island, for a real taste of Crete, why not try combining a stay at both hotels?
