Tucked into the Cretan coastline and bathed in golden Mediterranean light, Aquila Elounda Village is not simply a luxury resort—it is Greece’s reigning destination for romance. Fresh off its win as Best Luxury Romantic Resort at the Luxury Lifestyle Awards, this adults-only escape whispers elegance, intimacy, and soul at every turn.
A Philosophy of Thoughtful Luxury
From the moment you arrive, there is an unmistakable sense that time slows down here. “Luxury is the art of anticipating a guest’s desires before they are even voiced,” shares General Manager Volyrakis Michalis. And that philosophy is felt in every detail—from your welcome drink to the candlelit dinners beneath the stars.
Privacy, Peace, and the Art of Romance
Aquila Elounda Village feels like a secret sanctuary where privacy reigns. Think cliffside suites with private terraces, tranquil corners hidden within lush gardens, and pools that seem to melt into the Aegean. The resort crafts an ambiance that celebrates connection, without intrusion. It is quiet, personal, and deeply romantic.
Reconnect with Yourself in Pure Serenity
At Aquila Elounda Village, precious me time is just as sacred. In an adults-only haven, peaceful moments are yours to savour—whether soaking in the sun on a secluded beach, surrendering to a massage in their world-class spa, exploring the captivating Cretan terrain, or embracing stillness in a shaded garden nook. The island’s unique charm surrounds you at every turn.
A Culinary Journey Through Crete
The culinary offerings celebrate Crete’s freshest ingredients, with each dish telling a story. From romantic evenings at Mirabello to themed nights at Symposium, every meal is a sensorial journey. Guests can indulge, or learn—through hands-on cooking and cocktail classes that bring flavours to life.

Discover the Timeless Beauty of Elounda
