04
Those wanting to explore eastern Crete from a luxury base
Elounda sits above Mirabello Bay with the island fortress of Spinalonga visible from the resort and Agios Nikolaos a short drive away.
Hotel Facilities
Porto Elounda is set along Mirabello Bay with the largest seafront pool on Crete — a seawater complex with hydromassage jets and submerged loungers overlooking the private Blue Flag beach and the island of Spinalonga beyond. Landscaped gardens, walking paths and shaded terraces run through the grounds, with the Playiada mini-village at the centre of the resort — a Cretan square with a traditional chapel, clothing boutiques, jewellery, an art gallery and the Six Senses Gallery.
The 9-hole Par 3 golf course, Racquet Club by Lux Tennis with tennis, pickleball and padel courts, a watersports centre, basketball court, waterslides and a 250sqm fitness centre provide the active offer. The Kid's Ark runs daily activities for children from age 5, with the Valencia Soccer School Camp and a dedicated family entertainment centre alongside.
Wellness Facilities
The Six Senses Spa spans 2,200sqm and sits tucked into the landscape above the sea, with indoor and outdoor thalassotherapy pools, a hydrotherapy circuit with steam rooms, saunas and hot tubs, and a dedicated outdoor yoga area. Eight wellness programmes cover weight management, detox, sleep enhancment, reformer Pilates, yoga and fitness, with treatments available for both adults and children.
Wellness Screening with biomarker analysis and biohacking technology — compression therapy, pain relief and tension release — sit alongside the traditional treatment menu. For guests wanting to go deeper, resident specialists in yoga and chiropractic are available throughout the stay.
Dining
Porto Elounda guests have access to two restaurants on site and seven more across the Elounda Collection by complimentary sea transfer.
Cosmos is the main poolside restaurant, serving a breakfast buffet each morning and an international buffet dinner with live cooking stations in the evening — its name drawn from the Greek word for world, reflecting the breadth of the menu.
Elies Beach House sits beneath an ancient olive grove by the beach, serving authentic Greek and Cretan cuisine each evening. Cretan Night and OPA Night are regular events — traditional island dances and the Greek tradition of plate smashing adding genuine character to the evening.
Il Borro Tuscan Bistro at Elounda Peninsula is inspired by the Ferragamo family's Tuscan estate — organic, seasonal Italian cooking on the waterfront with wines from the Il Borro estate alongside.
Sumosan at Elounda Peninsula brings the multi-award-winning contemporary Japanese restaurant's celebrated cuisine to the Aegean — elegant, precise and one of the most distinctive dining venues on the island.
The Beach Bar and Lounge sits directly on the sand, serving cocktails, snacks and a selection of Habanos cigars from morning through to late evening under a striking wooden canopy.
Thea Bar Lounge overlooks Mirabello Bay from a spacious terrace — a natural gathering point from dawn to late night with sweeping views across the water.
Good to Know
Accommodation
Porto Elounda has 128 rooms and suites, all with private balconies or terraces looking out over Mirabello Bay and the Aegean. Interiors are warm and Mediterranean in character, with contemporary amenities throughout — some with shared pools, others with private seawater pools.
Location
Porto Elounda sits on Mirabello Bay on the north-east coast of Crete, five minutes from the village of Elounda and ten minutes from Agios Nikolaos. The island of Spinalonga — the former Venetian fortress and leper colony that inspired Victoria Hislop's novel The Island — is visible from the resort and reachable by short ferry crossing. Heraklion Airport is approximately 55 minutes away by road, with Sitia Airport around 45 minutes for guests flying from Athens.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Porto Elounda Golf and Spa Resort and what makes it special?
Porto Elounda Golf and Spa Resort is a five-star resort on the shores of Mirabello Bay in eastern Crete, combining a Six Senses Spa with golf, watersports, a Blue Flag beach and access to the restaurants and facilities of three resorts across the Elounda Collection by sea transfer. The spa goes considerably further than a standard hotel spa — eight wellness programmes, resident specialists in yoga and chiropractic and Wellness Screening with biomarker analysis and biohacking technology.
What wellness and spa facilities are available?
The Six Senses Spa at Porto Elounda offers eight wellness programmes alongside à la carte treatments, with resident specialists in yoga and chiropractic. Wellness Screening combines biomarker analysis with biohacking technology to establish a personalised baseline, and daily group yoga and fitness classes are available throughout the stay.
What is the Elounda Collection and how does the sea transfer work?
Porto Elounda is part of the Elounda Collection alongside Elounda Peninsula All Suite Hotel and Elounda Mare Relais & Châteaux. Guests can access the restaurants and facilities of all three properties by sea transfer throughout their stay — giving access to nine restaurants in total, including Il Borro Tuscan Bistro, Sumosan and the Old Mill at Elounda Mare.
Is Porto Elounda suitable for families?
The Kid's Ark children's club and a full range of watersports make Porto Elounda well suited to families. The resort's layout — with the Six Senses Spa, golf course and multiple dining options all on site — means guests with very different priorities can share a stay without compromise, with the largest seafront pool on Crete and a Blue Flag beach as the natural centre point.
What golf is available at Porto Elounda?
The resort has a 9-hole Par 3 golf course — one of the few golf courses in Crete — set against the Elounda peninsula landscape and views across Mirabello Bay, available to guests throughout the stay alongside the spa and watersports.
When is the best time to visit Porto Elounda?
Porto Elounda is open from late April to late October. May, June and September are the most rewarding months — warm enough for the beach and pools, with fewer guests than the peak summer weeks. July and August bring the warmest temperatures and the most social atmosphere. The Six Senses Spa and full wellness programme run throughout the season.
What is the location like and what is there to see nearby?
Porto Elounda sits above Mirabello Bay on the northeastern coast of Crete, with Spinalonga — the Venetian island fortress and one of the most visited sites in Greece — visible from the resort. Agios Nikolaos is a short drive away and the wider eastern Crete coastline rewards exploration by boat or car.
