 Aulus Chania, by Domes 

Effortless All-Inclusive Living

An adults-only Cretan hideaway where laid-back luxury comes as a standard.

Perched on Crete's sun-drenched north coast, Aulus Chania by Domes is an adults-only retreat where exceptional gastronomy takes centre stage. The ultra all-inclusive concept goes beyond the expected, with a diverse collection of restaurants serving everything from traditional Greek meze and Italian favourites to contemporary Asian flavours, complemented by premium drinks and vibrant culinary experiences. When you're not dining, spend your days unwinding by the pool, exploring nearby Chania or embracing the island's slower pace through wellness and spa experiences. Stylish, sociable and effortlessly relaxed, it's a fresh take on the all-inclusive beach retreat.
