Restaurants & bars

Guests staying at one of the three Elounda Hotels & Resorts properties can choose to dine at a variety of restaurants across the resort. For breakfast, there's the poolside Nafsika and Deck (at Elounda Mare Hotel). Calypso & Wine Cellar is an award-winning gourmet French restaurant with à la carte breakfasts for Elounda Peninsula All Suite Hotel guests and Koh (at Elounda Peninsula All Suite Hotel) tops the list of romantic spots in-resort – this waterfront pan-Asian restaurant stretches out over the water and serves dinner by candlelight. Greek fare is celebrated at Odysseas (at Elounda Peninsula All Suite Hotel) by the water and Old Mill (at Elounda Mare Hotel), the resort's Cretan fine dining venue. Aglio e Olio serves al fresco Italian fare and for seafood lovers, the Yacht Club (at Elounda Mare Hotel) won't disappoint with its fresh, traditional seafood by the water (lunch all year, dinner seasonally), and the weekly seafood buffet, 'Fisher's Evening'. Karavia Bar (at Elounda Mare Hotel) and Peninsula Lounge (at Elounda Peninsula All Suite Hotel) both serve drinks with sea views and for a drink by the pool, guests can head to Kirki Bar and Beach bar & lounge.

Spa & wellness

The award-winning Six Senses Spa, with its 21 treatment rooms, private thalassotherapy suites and beautiful indoor/outdoor infinity pool with panoramic sea views, has an extraordinarily extensive list of therapies and wellness activities. Enjoy traditional facials and massages, scrubs, wraps and even aromatherapy Ayurveda, as well as aqua yoga and Qi Gong

For Children

The huge kids' club is one of the best we've seen. It occupies its own corner of the resort and has a fun animal design, centred around the 'Ark'. There are two pools (one with water slides), indoor and outdoor play areas, a ball games court and a vegetable garden to teach little ones about growing their own food. A crèche looks after the tiniest guests, while teens can enjoy sports and watersports lessons and a games room.

The Arsenal Soccer School Camp is available for ages 5-16 and there's also a new Golf Academy for kids aged 6-18, with a four-day golf clinic at the resort's 9-hole par-3 golf course.
