From light and fresh Mediterranean dishes to delicious steaks and grilled seafood, the variety and quality of the food is impressive. Thólos offers a magnificent buffet, while Topos extends out into the sea on a long pier and tempts you with fine dining under the open sky. At Blend Steakhouse, you can enjoy the finest meat, and at CORE, the open-air area with boutiques, art installations, and food trucks, you can sit under the stars with a cocktail while entertainers put on a magical bubble show for the little ones. There are four bars available for a nightcap or a good Cretan wine.
A visit to the elegant Domes Soma Spa guarantees relaxation. Here you can enjoy a candlelit hammam, a mosaic seawater pool, and first-class treatments with Elemis products. Soothing music contributes to an extraordinary feeling of peace and tranquility. One of the resort's highlights is CORE, a spacious green area with pop-up shops and art installations, food trucks, and all kinds of open-air events. For adventurers of all ages, there is a playground with a climbing wall and skate park, various running tracks, a shaded yoga pavilion, soccer fields, and tennis courts. In the unique KiEPOS (Greek for garden), environmentally conscious children and teenagers even have the opportunity to grow their own plants and flowers.
Relaxed and sophisticated luxury is the hallmark of the sprawling, family-friendly Domes of Elounda, part of the Marriott Autograph Collection. The resort stretches across a hill crowned by a helipad and is dotted with beautiful winding paths that lead you through manicured gardens. If you're in a hurry, the buggy service or shuttle bus will take you anywhere on the grounds at any time. Many young families spend their dream vacations here, but designated quiet zones and areas for adults provide plenty of opportunities for relaxation and retreat during a romantic couple's getaway. Pamper yourself in the sparkling spa with a typical Cretan therapy using local herbs, or enjoy the Greek sun on the sandy beach shaded by olive trees. There is also a choice of four restaurants, four bars, and a spacious open-air area with food trucks and a wide range of leisure activities. The kids' club deserves a special mention, offering a brilliant program of activities ranging from puppet shows and cooking classes to treasure hunts and gardening in the hotel's own KiEPOS garden. Last but not least, the hotel also impresses with its steep hillside location, which offers fantastic panoramic views of the enchanting Mirabello Bay and the historic island of Spinalonga. A luxury vacation at Domes of Elounda promises heavenly relaxation, the best service, a welcome change of pace, and unforgettable memories.
