Porto Elounda Golf & Spa Resort inc. Elounda Peninsula, Elounda Peninsula, Crete
This world–class five-star resort overlooking the Bay of Mirabello on Crete's north-east coast is one of the very best options for luxury family holidays in Greece. A 50-minute transfer from the airport, it has outstanding leisure and family facilities including an excellent Six Senses spa and childcare from age four months and up. The superb Kids' Ark club feature its own mini-waterpark, a Valencia FC soccer school, and dance and wellness programs.
There's also a nine-hole golf course where kids' lessons are available and a private beach with an array of watersports for all ages. A Babies Travel Light service means you can pre-order and hire essentials ranging from buggies to nappies, while teens get their own evening space with games (table, board and online).
The resort is made up of the Porto Elounda Hotel (top right in the main image), the more exclusive, all-suite Elounda Peninsula (bottom left in the main image) and the more couple-orientated Elounda Mare (bottom right in the main image). Guests at each get access to the facilities as a whole, including all restaurants, which range from casual beachside to fine dining.
