The island of Crete is renowned as a centre of ancient civilization and culture, with a landscape of towering mountains and striking gorges, perpetually aglitter with the natural advantage of year-round sunshine. Crete plots the meeting point of four seas, and the surrounding waters are dappled by peninsulas. Towards the western shores of the island lies The Blue Palace, a coastal haven of bliss in which no whim is unjustified and every expectation of comfort can be fulfilled.
The
Blue Palace Crete offers a range of accommodation options to better match its patrons’ needs. It is possible to have a wonderful holiday with one of its standard rooms as base camp, but for a truly indulgent visit, why not seize the moment and book something truly extraordinary?
Junior suites come with views over the aquamarine waves of the Mediterranean Sea, or the lush mature gardens of the resort. Have dinner under the stars from the privacy of your own terraced veranda, and then sink into a deep tub with a glass of wine from its master wine list and watch TV from a froth of scented water. If there’s a special occasion which calls for a little extra glow, the multi-award winning Elounda Spa can scrub, wrap and rub you all the way to tip-top physical condition, and all suites have complimentary access to the ground floor amenities including the indoor heated pool, sauna, Jacuzzi and fitness centre. It’s possible to choose from a suite with a private pool or garden, so your intimate holiday moments needn’t be compromised by the other guests. Need a suit pressed or a dress dry cleaned? All suites come with a butler service. Let your personal attendant assist with time-consuming tasks such as unpacking, wrapping gifts or pouring drinks while you get on with your holiday.
The Mediterranean Maisonette suites comprise a roomy two floor studio replete with an ample pool and main living veranda as well as bedroom balcony. The layout is designed to create an atmosphere of independence: these suites are as far removed from the usual hotel corridor as it gets. The pure cotton king size bed is arranged so you can look out over the sea while luxuriating with a cup of morning coffee on downy-soft pillows: a soul-lifting start to the day. All suites have a walk-in dressing room and 32” plasma screen TVs, as well as home cinema system, satellite channels to surf and pristine, romantic interior design.
Island suites at the Blue Palace are the pinnacle of palatial decadence. Each individual suite has a vast patio with heated infinity pool which seems to join horizons with the sea below, a regal four poster king size bed and Jacuzzi. You can take an evening dip in the divine privacy of your patio, dim the lights and curl up in front of a movie or order 24 hour a day room service and let the finest cuisine be served to you by moonlight, to the sounds of the dawn chorus or to the soft splash of the afternoon tide.
