Ecru Cretan architecture with hints of terracotta, mature verdant palms, the endless blue reflected from sea view private pools – the palette at this island icon is Elounda to a T.

Ecru Cretan architecture with hints of terracotta, mature verdant palms, the endless blue reflected from sea view private pools – the palette at this island icon is Elounda to a T.

The colours may set the tone for a relaxing escape, but it’s the canvas they grace that cements the tranquillity. Inside the generously appointed accommodation, light and airy furnishings meet spacious outdoor areas. Face inland and these areas have views of the rugged mountains, face out to sea and the Aegean lays out a carpet of blue to Spinalonga island. Often dotted with a traditional fishing boat (or caique) that has been hired to cruise the glassy water.

Gourmands and oenophiles have it great here 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. And, 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 perfect place to snooze after lunch or burn off some energy with a collection of water sports.
