Blue Palace, a Luxury Collection Resort
The perfect day by the sea – that’s what the 200-meter-long private beach at the Blue Palace, a Luxury Collection Resort promises. Here, azure blue water, shiny pebbles and wooden terraces await – the unique panoramic view over the Gulf of Elounda and the island of Spinalonga opposite with its imposing 16th century ruins. Century included. Both the 247 rooms and suites and the four spacious private villas with up to three bedrooms and their own pool are designed in a Mediterranean style: light colors, natural materials and the blue of Greece. Five restaurants and three bars provide culinary experiences – all with a focus on regional products. A particular highlight is the Blue Door taverna right on the beach, which serves traditional Cretan cuisine. The Elounda Spa has three Thalasso pools, two Turkish hammams and saunas as well as a fitness area. Blue Palace, a Luxury Collection Resort, Elounda 72053, Crete, Greece, bluepalace.gr
