The layout; excellent design and facilities provided in a small space. Landscaping was excellent also. Very professionally run. Location very good.

Una Oman

We lucked out here. Views over the olive grove and the sea. Extremely peaceful. Easy access to the Elafonisi beach area so you can beat the crowds. Good restaurant too...

Michael United Kingdom

Our room was very comfortable, clean and airy. A lovely balcony with a view of the sea, and tea and coffee facilities in the room. The shower was very good as well. The restauruant downstairs did nice food and elafonisi beach is just a 10 minute walk away.

Elliot United Kingdom

Service was excellent and the proximity to the beach. Thank you Francisco and Konstantino for the carrying our luggage and the free upgrade :) and Enias for the morning smoothies

Sandy Hong Kong

Fabuluous courteous people. Really knowledgeable abt the area. Great beaches. Fab hikes to isolated coves

Kristen United States

Only a short walk to a beautiful beach. Very friendly staff

Pauline United Kingdom

The staff went out of their way to be kind and helpful. I’ve come to realise that is the Cretan way, but this hotel was very relaxed and respectful, and always made us feel welcome. The bungalow had an amazing view, and the restaurant was delicious. Sad that we’d only eaten there once as were cooking in our room.

Kate United States

Condanstino (spelling) was amazing. He carried up our heavy luggage two flights of stairs without any difficulty. He is very strong! Dinner was amazing at sunset! Looking out our balcony we say olive farm and the ocean on the other! The proximity to beach was outstanding!

Robert United States

Resort is located near Elafonisi beach between olive trees. Owners are very friendly and staff is nice and helpfull. On resort area you can find restaurant with good Greek food.

Company information

It all started in the 1980s, when the estate initially served as a summer vacation residence for the Kalomirakis family, a family with strong roots in the area. But year after year, more and more visitors to Elafonisi asked for accommodation in the residence, in order to extend their stay, fascinated by the magical Elafonisi beach. This was amplified by the long and winding road to Chania city, and the absence of adequate bus routes to the area. One thing led to the other, and many of the rooms of the vacation residence started functioning as guestrooms, in order to care for an ever-growing number of visitors. Since then, and for about the last 35 years, the Kalomirakis family has been inseparably linked to the very friendly, traditional hospitality in the area of the famous Elafonisi beach. All the rooms buildings are complete renovated .

Property information

Elafonisi Resort is a 3*** traditional hotel located a stone’s throw from the world-famous beach of Elafonisi, Crete. It is ideally positioned on an advantageous elevated location overlooking the sea, and amidst a superb natural environment made up of a large olive grove and beautiful gardens. Many visitors describe Elafonisi Resort simply as “a paradise on earth”, year after year.
