Set on a prime stretch of Crete’s north‑east coastline, Porto Elounda Golf & Spa Resort tumbles down towards the sea just outside the charming fishing village of Elounda. The resort occupies a peaceful, semi‑secluded spot with its own beachfront and coves, yet you’re only a short taxi or bus ride from Elounda’s tavernas and harbour.

From here it’s easy to hop across the water to historic Spinalonga Island, explore neighbouring Plaka and Driros beaches, or head along the coast to cosmopolitan Agios Nikolaos for waterside dining and evening strolls around the lake.

Cretan produce and sea views are central to dining at Porto Elounda. Your Half Board includes buffet-style breakfast and dinner at Nafsika, where generous spreads and live cooking keep things varied. For extra flexibility, the Dine Around concept lets you swap your buffet dinner for a credit allowance (24€ per adult / 12€ per child) towards food at a choice of à la carte venues.

Beachfront Elies Beach House serves laid-back international dishes at lunch, while Il Borro Tuscan Bistro brings elevated Italian flavours. Sumosan offers sleek Japanese dining, and at sister hotel Elounda Mare you can try the atmospheric Old Mill and elegant Yacht Club for Cretan and Greek cuisine – with complimentary transport between hotels.

Two stylish bars keep you refreshed: Beach Lounge (10:00–01:00) for relaxed seaside drinks and Kirki Bar on the terrace for aperitifs and after‑dinner cocktails.

A smart‑casual dress code applies in several venues (no beachwear), and reservations are recommended for à la carte restaurants. Supplements may apply depending on your board basis and menu choices, and restaurant schedules can vary by season. What All Inclusive typically includes.

Life quickly orbits between the sea and the pools here. The resort offers five outdoor pools, including saltwater and freshwater options plus two children’s pools, so everyone can find their favourite spot. One main pool includes a whirlpool and is lined with cushioned loungers and parasols, with complimentary pool towels provided.

Families will love the aqua park, complete with slides operating six days a week (10:00–18:00; age/height restrictions may apply). Down on the beachfront you’ll find calm waters ideal for a paddle, as well as a range of water sports – from canoeing and pedalos to motorised options, snorkelling, scuba diving and giant inflatables (operated by an external provider, charges apply).

Selected pools, including children’s pools, are heated in the shoulder seasons (typically mid‑May to mid‑June and again October to early November), making this a good option beyond peak summer.

Wellness is a major draw at Porto Elounda. The acclaimed Six Senses Spa (shared with sister Elounda Peninsula Luxury Resort) features a sauna, steam room, Turkish bath, whirlpool and an extensive menu of massages and beauty rituals, plus an on-site hairdresser (local charges apply).

Active guests can make use of the air‑conditioned gym (07:00–21:00) with cardio machines, free weights and stretching zone, or join in classes such as aerobics, aqua aerobics, pilates, yoga, basketball, football, mini‑golf, table tennis, tennis, squash and paddle (some activities carry extra charges). Golfers are drawn to the on‑site golf course and clubhouse, shared with Elounda Peninsula, where reservations and a minimum age of 18 apply.

You’ll also find cooking classes, landscaped gardens, lounges and quiet corners ideal for reading or simply soaking up those Mirabello Bay views.
