Domes reinvents Elounda restoring its lost principal of exclusivity. The essence of the Mediterranean, the culture, the cuisine, the temperament, the architecture, are holistically captured in the form of a luxury resort consisting for the first time of only suites & villas that provide a small number of exclusive guests with all the amenities of a resort, while offering an abundance of living space, privacy and extraordinary service. Minimally interfering with the natural habitat and harmonically blended with their surroundings, domed structures with breathtaking ocean views emerge from the ground, respecting its natural contours and creating a Mediterranean settlement on a hillside of flower gardens, stone pathways, and olive groves just a stone’s throw away from the Venetian castle on the island of Spinalonga, the setting for Victoria Hislop’s bestselling novel “The Island”... It is all is part of our new design inviting the senses to feast on sights, scents and tastes from the rich outdoors through large windows, and spacious verandas that capture sea breezes and provide the perfect setting for the ultimate fantasy getaway. We invite you to experience... Domes of Elounda, Greece at its best!

Location Summary
The road to Elounda from Aghios Nikolaos follows the shore, climbing to the top of a small mountain. The view from the top is magnificent. On a clear day the visitor can see all of Mirabello bay, and all the way to the eastern tip of Crete. The seaside village of Elounda lies on the shores of a lagoon shaped between the coast and a small peninsula and it contains the sunken remains of the lost city of Olous. On days when the water is calm, the walls of this ancient city can be seen beneath the waves. In the entrance of the lagoon stands the historical islet of Spinalonga and its medieval fortress built by the Venetians on the ruins of an ancient acropolis.
