Blue Palace Elounda, a Luxury Collection Resort, Crete

The Royal Blue Villa’s include three breezy, light-filled bedrooms. Each has been carefully decorated, incorporating original furniture and elegant handicrafts emblematic of the island. The master bedroom presents an alluring four-poster bed and enlarged dressing area, which leads to a private gazebo. Furnished with gym equipment, the gazebo's east facing veranda offers unparalleled sunrise vistas.

Additionally, all bedrooms have either private verandas or gardens, and all beds are swathed in 320-count pure cotton satin sheets. In-room entertainment is accessible via 3249-inch flat screen TVs, outfitted with multi-language satellite channels and premium pay-per-view movies.

Each bedroom houses an en-suite marble bathroom equipped with a bathtub with separate rain showers and toilets. One has the additional benefit of a double-sided fireplace filled with candles. Along with exclusive bath amenities, silk bathrobes lined in plush terrycloth, slippers, and 13-inch flat screen TVs, they are supplied with hairdryers and magnifying mirrors.

Further exclusive amenities include a full kitchen ideal for servicing a private romantic dinner. Available for order from one of the resort’s five premier restaurants, we are happy to serve the meal in the candlelit dining area. Top-shelf beverages come courtesy of the mini bar, which offers premium brands alongside chilled champagne, and our master wine list; our sommelier is happy to provide recommendations upon request.

Down the hall, the refined living room with fireplace is ideal for group lounging. A 55-inch flat screen TV offers the same comprehensive entertainment selections as the bedrooms. Additionally, direct dial telephone, and complimentary premium Wi-Fi attend to every technological need. Individually controlled air conditioning is featured throughout the villa.

Guests of The Royal Blue Villa have exclusive access to the Haven, the private section of our beach where a private gazebo is reserved for them. An elite beach service crew will attend to your needs and occasionally surprise you with complimentary treats.

These guests also enjoy a ‘Havenly’ Breakfast at Olea restaurant. A curated a la carte menu highlights the feeling of an old-fashioned hospitality and includes Cretan mountain honey; regional cold cuts; famous Cretan gruyere cheese and celebrated local grapes and figs – unsurprisingly only when in season.
