Fodor's Expert Review Elounda Gulf Villas and Suites

For those who value privacy and comfort, this may be the ultimate Elounda destination—with less of a resort feel than its larger neighbors, it is a second home to the jet set and the bright and the beautiful. Family-run, with a focus on relaxation and personal service, many of the villas feature private pools, and in-house gyms and saunas. These are exceptional accommodations with elegant, individual contemporary decor. Perched on a hillside, there is a private beach 10 minutes away, but really this is a place to relax in the impressive surroundings and take in the spectacular views of the gulf below.
