Enjoy a luxurious holiday in Greece.
Phaea Blue Palace, a member of the Small Luxury Hotels group, is a boutique hotel nestled into Elounda’s hillside and from each level there are beautiful views over the unspoilt natural surroundings as the hotel gently terraces down to the beautiful private beach.
The hotel’s ethos reflects a commitment to conscious luxury hospitality and offering a deeper understanding and connection to Greece’s timeless heritage. During your stay, you can experience the ‘real’ Greece through unique Phaea experiences, whether it’s embarking on a sunset cruise aboard the traditional caique around Spinalonga, discovering remote beaches or immersing yourself in a mouthwatering Cretan Feast, local wine-tasting sessions or a lesson in Greek Cuisine.
More relaxing days can be spent beside the pool, a refreshing oasis. The hotel’s private beach gives you direct access to the crystal-clear waters, perfect for a swim, snorkel, or just a bask in the warmth of the sun.
The resort stretches along the northeastern coast of Crete. From the white pebbly beach, you can enjoy spectacular views of Spinalonga, a small historical island which is five minutes away by boat. Meanwhile, the seafront tavernas and traditional ships in the small fishing village of Plaka, are five minutes away on foot. Elounda is less than three miles away, home to a bustling harbour and the incredible ancient underwater city of Olous, while Aghios Nikolaos offers vibrant nightlife around 10 miles away.
Consisting of 47 luxury bungalows and suites including the amazing Phaea Blue Villa (which comes with Chef & Butler service), rooms feature modern amenities and elegant furnishings, creating a calm space to relax and come with a mix of spacious terraces, verandas and private heated pools.
For dining, head to the Blue Door taverna for fresh, local seafood served in a restored fisherman’s stone house, right beside the shore, or visit Anthos for meals masterminded by award winning Consultant Chef, Athinagoras Kostakos, followed by signature after-dinner drinks. You’ll find more Cretan flavours at the Phaea Farmers Feast pop up restaurant, offering a communal farm-to-table experience with local farmers, set in the organic garden (this event is available at select times of the season). At Votsalo Bar, sip local wines and creative cocktails crafted by skilled mixologists, with views of the sea.

Hotel highlights
Find out what makes this resort special. Here are some of our personal highlights.
Gourmands will be in their element with the restaurants and bar adhering to a Creten way of life. Anthós delivers traditional-with-a-twist cuisine, while organic garden ingredients are the heroes at the communal table of Phaea Farmers Feast pop up. Down by the water, the reimagined fisherman’s hut that houses Blue Door Taverna captures the tastes of the sea with secret family recipes. It’s also down here where the private beach and its sunbeds can be found.
The focus is very much on experiences such as wine tasting, cooking classes and destination experiences, so you immerse in the local lifestyle.
Phaea offers spa services, yoga and wellness sessions as well as a developing Retreat programme for those who want to completely immerse themselves in physical and mental healing.
