Paradise in Crete

Discover the exclusive Elounda properties and enjoy dedicated Powder Byrne service throughout the summer school holidays, whilst the kids have a wonderful time in our exclusive programmes.

On the northern coast of Crete lies the Porto Elounda and sister property the Elounda Peninsula All-Suite Hotel, a beautiful seaside retreat in an extraordinary setting. For over 20 years we’ve been sending clients to the beautiful Mirabella bay, and it’s no surprise it has become so popular with clients returning year after year. The tranquility and slow pace of life strike you immediately and the picturesque Porto Elounda resort, where attentive staff and stunning surroundings set the scene for a magical holiday where you can really switch off.

Stay with Powder Byrne at Porto Elounda this summer and you’ll enjoy access to all of the resorts’ wonderful facilities; private sandy beaches, sensational six senses spa, stunning seafront swimming pools and eight fabulous restaurants. Our Powder Byrne team will be in Elounda throughout the summer holidays to help you unlock the best local experiences and ensure the kids are having a ball in our exclusive programmes including Scallywags, TheZone and PB Adventure Academy, plus our ‘Learn Together’ family programmes including scuba diving, cycling and sailing adventures.

THE PORTO ELOUNDA GOLF HOTEL & SPA

The recently refurbished rooms and suites are simply yet elegantly decorated and finished with luxurious marble bathrooms and every room faces out towards the sea offering stunning views. Each room or suite has a private balcony or terrace, many with shared or private pools. They are all designed to capitalise on the stunning views across the private estate and out into the bay, with lots of natural light from wall to wall windows. The hotel style is typically Greek with lots of original art and antiques, spacious and airy public spaces as well as carefully considered areas where you can settle down as a family - privacy and space to enjoy yourselves as you wish are given priority.

Porto Elounda’s gastronomic offering is truly outstanding with several of their restaurants winning numerous awards and the hotel’s extensive dine-around programme means you can experience different options every night of your stay. The addition of the Il Borro Tuscan Bistro on the waterfront, introduced this elegant dining concept from the Ferragamo family, reflecting the estate’s ‘farm to table’ philosophy, using fresh and seasonal ingredients to showcase traditional Italian dishes. New for 2023 is an exciting new Japanese restaurant set on the end of the private peninsula as well as a new complimentary water taxi service linking all the Elounda properties and restaurants, so you can arrive for your lunch or dinner reservation in style.

The incredible Six Senses Spa at Porto Elounda features 21 treatment areas including an authentic Turkish hammam, the Tepidarium and a bravura space that excites all the senses, plus private Thalassotherapy Suites complete with state-of-the-art facilities to balance the senses. We’d be happy to book you in for your favourite massage, which you’re welcome to have in the spa itself or in a secluded area on the hotel’s private beach.
