Elounda Peninsula Luxury Resort, Six Senses Spa

About this hotel

A 50-seat cinema on a Cretan peninsula, available for private screenings, gives some idea of the scale here. The resort runs along the Bay of Elounda on the waterfront, looking across Mirabello Bay and the Aegean Sea. Rooms are elegantly appointed, each with a balcony or terrace facing the sea. Entry-level suites are already substantial, with expansive, unobstructed views of the Aegean, and nearly all suites have a private pool that runs indoor living into outdoor, so the water and the horizon can be reached from the terrace in complete seclusion. Premium villas and residences add their own pools and direct access to the sea, closer to holding a stretch of coast than renting a room. Some units have luxurious bathrooms fitted with steam baths, and most pools are individually heated. Breakfast is à la carte, served with panoramic sea vistas, near enough to eating aboard a private vessel with the expanse of the Aegean in front of you. Five restaurants operate on site: Il Borro Tuscan Bistro, the Ferragamo dining concept, Sumosan Japanese restaurant, a multi-awarded Greek restaurant, fine dining venues, and buffet service. Outdoors there is a swimming pool with sun beds and umbrellas at no charge, a paddling pool, a children's care center, and a private sandy beach with beach service, water-sport facilities and tennis courts. The Six Senses Spa runs holistic treatments and therapies with current-generation facilities, and a dedicated studio handles Pilates and yoga. A 9-hole par 3 golf course, tennis, padel and pickleball are all set against the Cretan seascape. Agios Nikolaos Town is 6.2 mi away, Nikos Kazantzakis International Airport 42 mi, and Heraklion City 43 mi. Private parking on site is free.
