This exceptional new resort is independently owned and brings to Greece natural beauty, luxurious accommodation, the finest cuisine and an excellent world-class spa.

As a member of The Great Spa Hotels of the World, Blue Palace, Resort & Spa is set to become a leading international spa destination. Designed in true Mediterranean style, with terracotta colours, stone walls, mature palm and olive trees - the endless blue from the 106 private pools and the serene waters of the Cretan Pelagos, blend together to make this an incredibly special place. 

The Elounda Spa & Thalassotherapy facility is situated right by the beach and extends over 2000 sq-m, across three levels. The spa’s philosophy is to combine the seriousness and effectiveness of Thalassotherapy rituals and the calming and pampering approach of a world-class spa. Guided by meticulously trained personnel and spa doctor, guest can choose from one to six day specialised programmes or from an extensive range of à la carte treatments using Thalgo products to optimise the benefits of Thalassotherapy.

Blue Palace Resort & Spa is situated three km from the village of Elounda and within a few hundred metres of the fishing village of Plaka, the resort overlooks the sparkling waters and sits opposite the ancient isle of Spinalonga. Blue Palace unfolds into small units of stylish and spacious bungalows and suites as well as three magnificent independent villas. Every detail of the resort has been carefully thought out, and even though the property is situated right on the beach, a panoramic lift has been built to ensure effortless access to the sea. The luxury resort also has a multi-functional Thalassotherapy pool, steam baths, saunas, Jacuzzis, a leisure pool and fitness room.
