The sense of style at Domes of Elounda hotel
Visually striking domed structures form the resort’s exterior design, reflecting the natural contours of the surrounding landscape to create an amphitheatre of intricate gardens, pathways and olive groves. The architecture of each suite or villa is inspired by Greco, Carpath and Syrian styles, borrowing motifs like pyramidal ceilings that recirculate airflow and capture sea breezes to cool the interiors.
Soft earth tones feature in the decor throughout the resort, embellished with international and local artworks. Excellent views of the sea and the UNESCO castle on the islet of Spinalonga are incorporated by the resort’s design via large windows and spacious verandas, inviting guests to admire the beauty of coastal Crete’s spellbinding scenery.

Additionally, guests can expect an open-air theatre, walking paths, pop-up shops for those who want to indulge in retail therapy and international food and beverage outlets for those who want to sample something new.
