The best luxury hotels and resorts in Crete by Mhairi Mann in Luxury London

“Positioned between Mirabello Bay and the port of Elounda, the beachfront Blue Palace Elounda Resort is one of Crete’s most notable high-end resorts. The hotel honours traditional Greek architecture, with travertine tiled floors, mosaic walls and minimalist furnishings in shades of white and blue. Guests are met on arrival by soaring stone arches, which dramatically tower over the hotel’s vast pool.”
