Phaea Blue Palace

Blue Palace, a Luxury Collection Resort, Elounda, Crete. Between the tiny fishing village of Plaka and the increasingly chic port of Elounda on Crete, Blue Palace looks out across its own private beach towards the incomparable view of Spinalonga Island, nominated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The setting is one of virtually unspoilt, wild grandeur, as Blue Palace is so perfectly assimilated into its surroundings. Dotted throughout the resort among fragrant gardens, the bungalows, suites, & villas, are your personal sanctuaries with spectacular views of the Aegean Sea and Spinalonga Island. Designed for people who want to spend a lot of time relaxing in their own private space, offering the kind of profound, understated luxury that is relaxing in a way that mere extravagance can never achieve. Private verandas, gardens, and pools are designed to enhance the stunning views and the feeling of freedom. The long, spacious sweep of private, white pebble beach has also been left au naturel. Its raw, Cretan beauty has merely been threaded with wooden walkways for bare feet to happily pad between the private lounging decks of the central beach, the cool gazebos of the exclusive Haven, and the vibrant social focus of the Isola Beach Club. The aesthetic is driftwood elegance, indigenous charm, and bohemian luxe, all very good reasons to spend your whole day, and much of the evening, on the beach. Every dish tells a story. And every plate becomes a journey. Showcasing exquisite cuisine in myriad magical settings, Blue Palace featured five exclusive restaurants offering a variety of cuisine from traditional Greek Meze to Asian and Italian as well as Anthos restaurant introducing Greek cuisine with a modern twist. Majestic sunsets, unique atmosphere, the art of Aperitivo, and an outdoor bar on the sprawling veranda; the Arsenali Lounge Bar is a not-missed spot! The Elounda Spa offers an extensive list of luxurious signature treatments at 23 treatments rooms & two couple's suites, each featuring soothing sounds and diffused, relaxing lights. Venture beyond the ordinary with life-lasting authentic adventures, embracing history & local culture. Voyages to remember on our traditional caique, genuine local people sharing their secrets, authentic food experiences, and an immediate feeling of having arrived in your natural home. Personal recommendations and attention, the warm heartfelt hospitality Greeks like to offer each other, and our inspiration behind every moment. The essence of redefined luxury.
