We really liked the location close to the wonderful beach and the bungalows tucked into the olive grove. The attached taverna offers a very good selection of food for dinner or breakfast. We really enjoyed our stay there.

Felix Germany

Best stay ever! The room was spacious and well equipped, really clean and decorated with taste, and the bedding was perfect (huge, fluffy, "not letting you out in the morning" kind of style). The balcony is spacious with table, chairs and a parasol, overlooking olive trees and the sea. It was really calm, without any traffic noise or anything. The staff was very friendly and gave us some very good tips. The resort is just 10-15 minutes away on foot (3 with a car) from the most beautiful beaches!

Anne Germany

Elafonisi resort honours the dreamy and pristine destination by providing a heaven like stay with supreme comfort and Cretan hospitality! The staff have elevated our holiday to an unforgettable stay, everyone is super professional and friendly. The rooms have been recently renovated and the design is ergonomic and beautiful. The amazing view of olive groves from the balcony, the sunset and sea views (best from the rooftop), the amazing freshly prepared food on site...it was all a 5* experience! Extra bonus the location of course...7min on foot to Elafonisi beach, we enjoyed it on the first day..second day I suggest you take the E4 trail to Kedrodasos (it's like Adam and Eve could live there) and back. Third day we did the Whole Lake beach(Aspri Limni) , the Chrisoskalitsa monastery and Vourolimni. Our check out day we relaxed by the beach again...a privilege and highlight of our holiday in Crete. Ευχαριστούμε και Καλό χειμώνα!

I have already stayed at Elafonisi Beach resort several times because I know the accomodation is to a very high standard. The family and staff are very helpful and do all they can to make your stay as pleasant as possible.

Georgina Greece

New modern room and perfect location to visit the beach. The dinner at their restaurant was excellent!

Annette Germany

The Resort is just up the hill from Elafonisi beach- this enables easy access early in the morning and in the afternoon missing the crowds who descend from Hania and the north coast tourist areas. The location is beautiful. The food was very good, if generic, taverna style 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.
